"I am overweight need to lose some weight", "I need to increase my capacity I will start reading a book  month" "I drink too much I need to stop". If you have ever made that statement or something similar to that, then you in luck because this is a specially designed for of you.


January was just like yesterday I believe most of us made some resolutions which we term the "new year resolution(s)". We made beautiful plans, wrote them down, some to increase our income, to stay healthy and fit etc. Now, my question is how many of us are actually sticking to the resolutions we made? I bet out of 10 persons only 1 or 2 will still be running with it.

 For some people it is at this point they would really grasp the true meaning of the quote that says ''It is easier said than done'' So why can't people stick to what they promise? Is it that they are not willing? Well, is not that they are not willing. The answer is simple. They don't have the discipline enough to propel forward.

Discipline is a very important component for the completion of any task, project or resolution. Jim Rohn once said "Motivation gets you started but habit is what keeps you going".
The quote above explains the reason why people go to seminars, events or religious programd

, get fired up and are moved to carry out resolutions but in the long run can't stick to it. True commitment they say is doing what you said you will do when the initial mode or excitement with which you said it is no longer there.

People at such events are only motivated to start by the excitement and energy of the environment, they did not make it a habit to continue with the new discipline.

Do you know why people quit easily? Its because they have made it a habit to quit so they don't need a motivation to quit it comes natural to them since is a habit. Quitting is also a habit that is learnt. Its not a trait embedded in the human DNA is what we learn as we grow. For any resolve made to be a habit you need to be disciplined and committed to that new discipline otherwise you will never ever get the desired result.


In life we must suffer one of two things, either the pain of discipline or the pain of disappointment or regret. It would be unfair to tell you to be disciplined without telling you how to be disciplined right? So, our next article will be focusing on just that so keep working towards success, see you at the top!
