In society today there are a number of skills that everyone needs to have, but there are a handful of skills that people don’t have but could greatly benefit from mastering. One such skill is self discipline. I chose self discipline because I feel that I myself suffer from not having mastered this skill and would love to one day. As I write this its 20 hours till this assignment is due and I am finding myself struggling with self discipline. I feel anxious, nervous and a little upset that I didn’t start work on this assignment yesterday or the day before. So today (now) I will talk about the negatives that come from not being a master at self discipline, plus the positives that will come from mastering this skill and what I believe is the framework to becoming a master of self discipline.
So what is self discipline? Self discipline is the ability to stay focused and self motivated while taking action in order to achieve ones goals. These goals could be almost anything, from going to the gym, learning how to fish or even finishing an assignment in time. I believe everyone suffers from some lack of self discipline, but with time and constant practice one can learn to become a master.
Why is it so important to have self discipline? With out it people wouldn’t get up in the morning, go to work, go to the grocery store, go work out or any other number of things people do in there daily lives. In fact there is not much that you will do in the day that doesn’t require some bit of self discipline. So if everyone has some, then why would anyone want to master it? Well by becoming a master at self discipline, you would be able to accomplish almost anything you set your mind to.
