Go Beyond Challenge: self improvement
Once more I want to say thank you @futurethinker for this wonderful opportunity it's my pleasure.
Introduction
2018 started off on a very wonderful note for me thanks to God and also thanks to God for steemit, for he made it possible. Just like you @futurethinker I don't do new year resolution, but even before the year got started I already had a full fledge plan for the year but then as we know it's one thing to plan and it's another thing to execute it accordingly and that brings me to today's topic of interest.
Harry S Truman once said
In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first.
Self-discipline is a major issue more like a battle within us of which if we can come out victorious it automatically opens us up to tremendous success in life generally.
Over the years I noticed that in various aspects of my life I could have done better but I didn't not because I didn't know the right things to do or how much effort I should put in to attain the best of results.
The Challenge
My major weakness so far is Self-discipline, I haven't been disciplined enough to attain the kind of success I desire on most occasions. Most times I put in my very best when I get scared of the potential outcome should things go wrong, and it ought not to be so because to attain success in life it's very important to be disciplined and put in the right amount of effort in order to make good success.
I have started making efforts to overcome this weakness since last year. I read NO EXCUSE The Power Of Self-discipline by Brain Tracy wonderful book I have learnt a lot from the book and putting those things to work I am beginning to see results.
This year I want to ensure I eliminate this weakness totally no matter what it is am into I should be able to do it well and a get the desired results.
There is saying that
Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well
I don't think I developed this overtime because since I knew myself it has been an issue even when I didn't know it was a problem so yes I have always struggled with this.
Conclusion
Fixing this indiscipline in my life this year would be a major self-improvement for me even though am aware that it's not goin to be an easy task but then am very well determined to put an end to this in my life for good.
