Consistent Self-Discipline is The Key for Success | Jim Rohn Discipline

I have found that there is a repeating theme, things that are reliant on something out of my control and must be done by a certain deadline, get done just in time. It generally applies to things in which I had no control, such as something I want to sell. I have to wait until someone wants to buy. I have had this happen on several occasions. For example, I needed to sell something in order to buy a newer model. It has been for sale for four months without receiving any interest. I set a deadline on selling the old model and purchasing the new one. After 4 months without any offers at all, someone bought it today, the day before the deadline.

I can spot in an instant a child who’s parents have taught them to set reasonable expectations on themselves, to set and work towards a goal. I can tell very quickly which children have a goal, a dream, and those who don’t. If you work with children, I bet you can spot them, too. It’s easy to tell a child who is looking forward to the future, and those that don’t. When a child sets his goals, and works towards it, and then achieves it, they learn that it is their own efforts that will accomplish their goals. You teach a child this, and their chance at a happy life raises exponentially.
