Practice Discipline
Self-discipline does not kill joy but builds it. You see people with talent and
ability, and yet they are unsuccessful. They are frustrated and the same behavior pattern affects their
business, their health, and their relationships with others. They are dissatisfied and blame it on luck
without realizing that many problems are caused by lack of discipline.
Set Goals
Well-defined goals give a person a sense of direction, a feeling of accomplishment when he reaches his goals. More important than goals is a sense of purpose and vision. It gives meaning and fulfillment to life.
What we get upon achieving our goals is a lot less important than what we become. It is the becoming which
gives us a good feeling. That is what self-esteem is all about. In goal-setting, we need to be realistic.
Unrealistic goals remain unaccomplished, leading to poor self-esteem, whereas realistic goals are
encouraging and build high self-esteem.
