Self-Discipline for Success,By: Brian Tracy
with your life than anything else. This quality is so important that, if you don't develop it to a high degree, it is impossible for you to ever achieve what you are truly capable of achieving.
The quality that I am talking about is the quality of self-discipline. It is a habit, a practice, a philosophy and a way of living. All successful men and women are highly disciplined in the important work that they do. All unsuccessful men and women are undisciplined and
unable to control their behaviors and their appetites. And when you develop the same levels of high, personal discipline possessed by the most successful people in our society, you will very soon begin to achieve the same results that they do.
All great success in life is preceded by long, sustained periods of focused effort on a single goal, the most important goal, with the determination to stay with it until it is complete. Throughout history, we find that every man or woman who achieved anything lasting and worthwhile, had engaged in long, often unappreciated hours, weeks, months and even years of concentrated, disciplined work, in a particular direction.
Fortunately the quality of self-discipline is something that you can learn by continuous practice, over and over, until you master it. Once you have mastered the ability to delay gratification, the ability to discipline yourself to keep your attention focused on the most important task in front of you, there is virtually no goal that you cannot accomplish and no task that you cannot complete.
Successful people engage in activities that are goal-achieving. Unsuccessful people engage in activities that are tension-reliving. Successful people discipline themselves to have dinner before dessert. Unsuccessful people prefer to have dessert most of the time.
Successful people plan their work, and work their plan. They take the time to think through their responsibilities before they begin. They make clear decisions which they then implement immediately. They get a lot more done in a shorter period of time than the average person. And
it all has to do with their disciplines.
Perhaps the most important benefit of self-discipline is the personal benefit that you receive. Every act of self-discipline increases your self-esteem. It gives you a feeling of personal power and accomplishment. Each time you discipline yourself to persist in the face of distractions, diversions, and disappointments, you feel better about yourself. As you continue to discipline yourself, you achieve more and more in life. As you achieve more things, you feel more like a winner.
Your self-confidence goes up. You feel happier about yourself. You get more done and you have more energy. You earn the respect and esteem of the people around you. You get more rapid promotions and are paid more money. You live in a nicer house, drive a nicer car, and wear nicer
clothes. You get a natural high from the thrill of achievement. And the more things that you achieve as the result of employing your personal habits of effectiveness and productivity, the more eager you are to achieve even higher and better tasks. Your life gets onto an upward
spiral of success and happiness. You feel great about yourself most of the time.
Every act of self-discipline strengthens every other discipline in your life. Every weakness of self-discipline weakens your other disciplines as well. When you make a habit of disciplining yourself in little things, like flossing your teeth every night, you'll soon become able to discipline yourself to accomplish even larger things, like working long, long hours to bring a major task to completion.
Your entire life is an on-going battle between the forces of doing what is right and necessary on the one hand and doing what is fun and easy on the other hand. It is a battle between the forces of discipline and the forces of ease or expediency. And when you develop the strength of character that gives you complete self-mastery, self-control and self-discipline, you feel wonderful about yourself. You develop a deep inner sense of strength and confidence. You replace positive thinking with positive knowing. You reach the point inside where you absolutely know that you can do whatever it takes to achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
Self-discipline is its own reward. Not only does it pay off in terms of greater self-esteem and a more positive mental attitude, but it pays off throughout your life in terms of the goals that you achieve and the success that you attain in everything you do.
Self-discipline is a skill and a habit that can be learned by practice. Every time you practice a little self-discipline, you become stronger and stronger. Bit by bit, you become more capable of even greater disciplines. As you become a totally self-disciplined individual, your entire future opens up in front of you like a broad highway. Everything becomes possible for you and your future becomes unlimited.
Accomplish More in a Month Than Most People Accomplish in a Year. Take complete control of your time and your life. Get more done now.

Many Miles To Go, Brian Tracy
Have you ever wondered why some people are wildly successful in everything they do while others--maybe even you--struggle to make it?
A question that is often asked is "How can I succeed when the odds always seem stacked against me?"
It's a good question. And the answer can be found in the success clues left by those who have blazed the trail before you. Those who have what you want have followed a specific path to get there.
Imagine a large commercial aircraft flying from the United States to England. The pilot sets a course. He has a specific goal to reach his destination.
The plane has all kinds of high-tech navigational devices but the pilot knows from experience he will have to keep readjusting his course in order to arrive in England.
He uses tried and proven principles and follows clues left by other pilots. He follows a prescribed flight path. His success is guaranteed!
As you travel toward your specific goals, you may also have to readjust your course to reach your desired goals.
If you strike out blindly on your own you will surely fail. But, if like many successful people, you follow the success clues left by those who have gone before, your chances of succeeding are guaranteed.
Success leaves clues.
Brian Tracy has discovered the simple truths you can use to guarantee your success. Now you can follow him on his journey of self discovery as he treks 17,000 miles around the world to explore Africa.
What he reveals in his riveting book Many Miles to Go can unravel the success mystery for you. Discover how you can apply the life-changing strategies Brian reveals to catapult yourself to success in your life and business.
For a limited time Brian is making his enlightening adventures available to a select few...
Finally, you can own an autographed copy of Brian's epic tale of discovery halfway around the world. Find out if you have what it takes to succeed.

Brian Tracy on Goals Setting
The ability to set goals and make plans for their accomplishment is, in reality, the "master skill" of success. It is the single most important skill that you can ever learn and perfect. Goal-setting will do more to help you achieve the things you want in life than anything else you've been exposed to.
Becoming an expert at goal-setting and goal-achieving is something that you absolutely must do if you wish to fulfill your potential as a human being.
Goals enable you to do the work you want to do, to live where you want to live, to be with the people you enjoy, and to become the kind of person you want to become. Setting goals enables you to achieve all of these.
If one of your goals is to make a lot of money, then there's very little that can stop you from achieving financial success. There are millions of men and women who have started in poverty and obscurity and by setting goals, have achieved wealth and prestige. There is virtually no limit to the financial rewards you can obtain. All you have to do is to set them as goals, make a plan, and then work the plan until you succeed in that area.
The whole purpose of setting goals and making plans is for you to be able to choose the kind of life you want to live.

Why People Don't Set Goals
1. A lot of people do not set goals due to fear. Fear for not reaching the goals after setting them.
Fear of not being good enough to reach the goals.
F.E.A.R - False Evidence Appearing Real
Remember that fear mostly come from within us, from past events and experiences. They maybe just false evidence that appear to be real.
2. People do not set goals, because they do not know how to. Traditionally, goals setting is not something that is taught in the schools. So a lot of us after our education, got thrown into the society without the know how on how to set goals!
3. People are not sold on the importance of setting goals. If there are not goals, there are nothing to be achieved.
