Who doesn't know about the importance of the discipline in life in every sectors and every actions are disciplined by nature. But the matter of a great concern that only human being is able to break the chain of the nature as only we know how to think differently which is abnormal for all the other creations of the world! Today I want to raise a critic about the modern world is breaking the balanced of the nature from different aspects.
A self-disciplined life brings the sunshine into our life which helps us to be a successful person from the every aspects of life! But in modern society the success is making us more chaotic, don't be astonished I will explain how our as-old thought of discipline has changed now?
There is a very popular saying, "Self-discipline is the king of virtue".
What is self-discipline?
This line explains this concept very well: "Self-discipline is to force thyself to do things one doesn't like but should do, and to refrain from doing things one likes but should not do."
A person can only achieve the true self-discipline if he achieves these two things to the extreme level. A self-disciplined people work hard and have to work harder than ordinary people, but it is this kind of "hard work" that gives them more freedom and allows them to have full independent choices in life and career. People always have more self-discipline, the luckier they are, and the closer they are to succeed.
These are established concept of the relation between the discipline and success. But just take a view in current society how you observe the discipline? People are now convinced what they like to do, they should do that as their profession, so where is the discipline you already going against the basic concept!
If we ignore this, then let's be more practical, according to a discipline life you should maintain your hard working with a tight schedule which will make you more successful but for what??? Money??? Girls??? Fame??? Happiness??? All of these things can be earned in bulk quantity in chaotic way than the disciplined way. You can earn more money if you work more hours, you can get more girls with your more money, you can be very popular by spending more money, you can be more happy with more money at the end! As result cities are busy whole night, people are working 24 hours, peaceful life can not be found in cities but in rural village because they are far away from the modern lifestyles, adorned with the technologies!
Let's breakdown these from different perspective for deeper realization.
Self-disciplined people have clear goals.
The unattainable ambition is to help us bargain with our willpower. Self-discipline is just a means, and the goal is what we need to achieve through our work. To be self-discipline for the sake of self-discipline is just asking for trouble. People who are not self-disciplined always don't pay much attention to the sense of purpose and feel that everything is important and everything should be done. The result is a lack of clear direction, leading to unclear priorities. Those who are self-disciplined and will always set a clear and detailed goals and use these goals to continuously drive themselves to persevere and try.
So, how we are focused into one thing in this interconnected worlds? It is very complicated concern! Now we are using our phone for chatting, our desktop for preparing presentation and our tabs to monitor the stocks price altogether!
From the personal life to every sectors, we are always distracted every moment and decreasing our efficiency as a result. So the use technologies in uniform direction is an important issues created by the modern technologies. We are now forgetting our loved one's birthday, anniversaries only to put our brain into tons of different thing and among those maximum numbers are useless at the end! To follow the trend is the biggest mistakes in our modern life.
I have read a story about a young Chinese mother on the Internet who was hailed as the "most fighting". After giving birth to her child, she felt that her life was becoming completely different, so she resolutely made a change. "Wake up at 5:30 every morning, read and do questions for an hour, make breakfast at 6:30, feed and dress the children at 7 o'clock, and go to work at 8 o'clock; Run at least 3 times a week, read two books, fast for a day to detoxify, and party with friends once; At the end of the month, while doing a summary of the month, plan the arrangements for the next month, buy the books you want to read in advance, and sort out the materials that need to be reviewed in advance. The annual goal is to run 800 kilometers, read 100 books, and slowly approach the goal. " Under the supervision of this schedule, in 2015, she lost 130 kilograms to 100 kilograms and was admitted to Peking University as a graduate student; In 2016, I ran 1,000 kilometers, read 100 books, completed a marathon, and passed 3 work-related qualifications. In the first half of 2017, I ran 100+ kilometers per month and read 5+ books per month...
A "self-discipliner" who has no goal, is full of helplessness "I want to give up, but I have to keep working hard". Their self-discipline is not only painful but does not bring them any pleasure. Long-term self-discipline requires not only to be cruel to oneself, but also to feel the call of the heart, sincerely want to do this, and afterward, continue to feel the benefits of this matter. In order to stick to it.
Now, what we are heading towards the modern lifestyle, we are unwilling to marry, even not willing to take babies, we wake up just before our departure for work, using robots for daily activities, gaining more weight with thousands of diseases, books are found in only in libraries, one athletes do physical activities and we only clap on them! That's how we are now affected by the modern lifestyle. But our succeed has no discipline but full of chaos!
Therefore, self-discipline is essentially a kind of control over the thyself.
When you adapt to self-control, you will become more and more confident, because you know where you can control things as you complete your goals again and again. Self-discipline is never "pain" and "training", but a way to help you achieve your goals. But unfortunately modern life destroying our self-disciplined life.
Self-discipline is a game between body and mind.
When you have achieved the ultimate level in self-discipline, you will understand that your cruelty and persistence towards yourself is the greatest treasure on the way of life. Although the process of self-discipline is difficult, the life of self-discipline is very beautiful at the end.
Once, 30 years old, for football players, is already a watershed in their careers, but think about Cristiano Ronaldo’s 37 years old and he is the pinnacle. This "change of fate" is because of his well-known self-discipline. His physical examination results are jaw-dropping: for 15 years, the body fat rate has remained at 7%, which is far below the average player body fat rate of 11%. Although he is 37 years old, he can still maintain a 24-year-old physique and still maintain a high level of football skills. This stems from his perennial diet control and training plan. When he was interviewed, he said that 99% of his time was self-discipline, and only 1% of the time would be slightly relaxed. Ronaldo is so cruel to himself that his peak state can be kept extremely durable.
And our modern lifestyle is now full of opposite actions, what is the deepest misunderstanding? The most common answer is: we think that freedom is to do whatever you want is the best way to live. Later, one can discover that self-discipline will have freedom. Self-disciplined people can better control their own life and work. This kind of "everything is under control" sense of security can give people freedom in the true sense.
But why we can't control ourselves? We are really affected by the news around the world every morning and night, we are affected by the continuous trollings in social media, we are affected by the continuous hate speech surrounding us, we are in panic with the hundreds of new diseases and national problems everyday, we are affected by the collapse in financial market etc....
Only by being strict and ruthless with oneself, knowing how to control one's desires, and resisting the temptations of the outside world, can one live out one's spirit in the bizarre world. The more self-discipline, the more freedom, the more self-discipline, the better the luck and the more exciting life. In the same way the more distance with the modern world you will be more self disciplined and more happy!
A self-disciplined life brings happiness.
As the saying goes: "with every effort, you will gain something success or experience through the failure", the more you work, the more naturally you will gain. And every truly outstanding person has a high degree of self-discipline and can deal with himself accurately. That's why people like Mark Zuckerberg as a founder of Facebook don't use it, Bill Gates is far from the phones, and so many renowned people are not addicted to the modern things.
Though there are many good things like the developed health system, industrial and agricultural revolution, these are changing our life in positive ways. But a self-disciplined person can utilized everything perfectly. But over-used can destroy the state, so it is a great concerning issue of extravagant uses of the modern technology is affecting us badly in every sphere of life!
When a person engraves his passion deeply into his bones, he will involuntarily abandon some things and restrain some desires for this love. At this point, this love has become self-discipline. The willing self-discipline makes people firm, mindless and makes people fly higher and higher.
There is a saying: "If you plant ideas, you will get action; if you plant actions, you will get habit; if you plant habits, you will get personality; if you plant personality, you will get destiny."
Self-discipline means controlling yourself and then your level in life will be higher and higher. Life always rewards a self-disciplined person, so a successful life is nothing but self-discipline. May we truly become self-disciplined ourselves.
Thank you very much for your time and attention.
I will catch you at the next.
