To accomplish a goal is not as easy as said. There's always a full energy bar in the beginning, this gradually declines with time. To every goal are constraints that require discipline to overcome them, and more discipline to remain committed to this goal. In the year 2023, I had visualized it to be a year with a lot of possibilities but unfortunately for me, there were unseen hindrances that I was not prepared for. They came in a rush and held me tightly by my neck, loosely I let go of the goals hoping to go for them another time. What I realized to have lacked was discipline to hold on, discipline to say no to certain things , discipline to prioritize my goals as the most important thing to me at that moment.
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.
No great man had accomplished a goal without beating his body and paying the price. Discipline is the compass that sets us on the path when we go astray. A farmer who is disciplined does not look back once he bends down to plough and this is what distinguishes people who are disciplined and those who lack discipline in their pursuit.
When our strength fails, discipline says one more time,when temptations and the desire to give up arise, discipline says keep up and stay focused. It's discipline that silences negative voices and vibe on our path to accomplishing our goals.
According to English dictionary, discipline is
A punishment to maintain control.
First, discipline is seen as a punishment; punishment to our body, desires, wants, lust, etc for the reason of maintaining control, control over forces that hinder our growth and accomplishment of our goals. You need discipline to maintain control until your goals are accomplished. Discipline is the only bridge between goals and accomplishment. Once discipline is taken away, we remain stagnant with wishes.
