Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the
ability to take action. You don't need to be hasty if it
isn't required, but you don't want to lose much time either.
Here's the time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is
strong.
Let's say you would like to build your library. If that is a
strong desire for you, what you've got to do is get the first
book. Then get the second book. Take action as soon as possible,
before the feeling passes and before the idea dims. If you
don't, here's what happens…
You fall prey to the law of diminishing intent.
We intend to take action when the idea strikes us. We intend to
do something when the emotion is high. But if we don't
translate that intention into action fairly soon, the urgency
starts to diminish. A month from now the passion is cold. A year
from now it can't be found.
So take action. Set up a discipline when the emotions are high
and the idea is strong, clear, and powerful. If somebody talks
about good health and you're motivated by it, you need to get a
book on nutrition. Get the book before the idea passes, before
the emotion gets cold. Begin the process. Fall on the floor and
do some push-ups. You've got to take action; otherwise the
wisdom is wasted. The emotion soon passes unless you apply it to
a disciplined activity. Discipline enables you to capture the
emotion and the wisdom and translate them into action. The key is
to increase your motivation by quickly setting up the
disciplines. By doing so, you've started a whole new life
process.
Here is the greatest value of discipline: self-worth, also known
as self-esteem. Many people who are teaching self-esteem these
days don't connect it to discipline. But once we sense the
least lack of discipline within ourselves, it starts to erode our
psyche. One of the greatest temptations is to just ease up a
little bit. Instead of doing your best, you allow yourself to do
just a little less than your best. Sure enough, you've started
in the slightest way to decrease your sense of self-worth.
There is a problem with even a little bit of neglect. Neglect
starts as an infection. If you don't take care of it, it
becomes a disease. And one neglect leads to another. Worst of
all, when neglect starts, it diminishes our self-worth.
Once this has happened, how can you regain your self-respect? All
you have to do is act now! Start with the smallest discipline
that corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the commitment:
"I will discipline myself to achieve my goals so that in the
years ahead I can celebrate my successes."
