69 Best Discipline Quotes To Help You Stay In Control
All successful entrepreneurs, leaders or parents – have a healthy degree of self-discipline. Welching out on something isn’t even something they’ll consider. “If I said I’d do it, then I’ll do it” is their motto. Is that you? Can you ‘make’ yourself do things you know you have to do? Who wants to get up in the middle of the night to comfort a crying baby? Who wants to make sure they get back to that client, even when they’re dog-tired, at the end of a long day? I’ll let you into a little secret. NO ONE likes doing that stuff. The difference between the successful and the unsuccessful is that successful people ‘do the thing’ and then feel the motivation.
Don’t want to go to the gym? Too bad – you’re going. Don’t want to prospect for new sales? Just get 5 more done and then you can quit for the day. Don’t want to write that piece for the website? I’ll DO IT ANYWAY. Disconnect from your ‘off’ switch. Cut yourself off from any other outcome and DO WHAT YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO. For yourself and for your discipline ‘muscle’. The more you follow through for yourself, the stronger you’ll get. So be encouraged by this collection of discipline quotes and make that list and get it done!!
