Success is to do what you want to do, and to be what you want to be…

The first question is do you know what you want? Do you want anything at all? Do you really need that thing? The second is why you want that thing. The third one you should ask yourself is what's stopping you from getting it….to be what you want to be. Truth is now and here. You don't have to wait. Dale Carnegie rightly said "The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."

Self discipline is very important for achieving one's goals. The amount of self discipline one has depends on self awareness and one's ability to live the reality. Discipline is difficult to master as it calls for attention to one's thoughts and behavior and willingness to sacrifice the lower goals for the higher ones. Unless a person has tremendous faith in himself, it is not possible to be disciplined. A person who sees himself in poor light, one who is often critical about his abilities, often comparing himself with others or looks at himself through the eyes of others can not generate enough self faith to produce the spirit of self sacrifice and discipline. Therefore, the key to self discipline is accepting and approving of oneself with open arms.
