"Discipline is the bridge between goals and
accomplishments."
~Jim
Rohn
Good morning! This
quote speaks to a problem that many of us face-while
we desire a specific result, a foreboding gap may
stand between our goal and our accomplishment.
Over the years, I
have met many women who will chalk this up to "lack
of willpower" or "lack of self-discipline." I prefer
to take a more positive approach-it is called
"growth." Imagine for a moment a child in
kindergarten. That child decides he wants to be
President of the United States. That probably
happens hundreds of times around the country each
day-a child proclaiming their intent to run the
country. Yet this child is different: he
wants to accomplish that goal next month..
Well...a month comes,
and a month goes. You might have already guessed how
this story ends: he doesn't become president in
those thirty days. Why do you think that is? Would
it be chalked up to lack of self-discipline or
willpower? Of course not. However, it could be
attributed to growth and process. Every goal and
desire is a growth and a process-a journey.
We live in an
instant-gratification society. We have figured out
how to have food now versus cooking it (drive-thru),
we can have information now (via the internet)
instead of researching or going to a library. We can
book trips around the world now rather than going to
a travel agency. We can communicate in written form
now (through email, versus hand-written letters).
Somehow, many of us feel we should thus be able to
accomplish our goals and change right now.
Until we find a way
to order our favorite goal, pre-done and delivered
at the local drive-thru, let us remember that it is
a process of many steps. It is not a matter of
self-discipline or willpower, but a matter of focus,
daily action, and time.
Your Turn:
Where have you been belittling yourself for not
"getting more done," or not having "self discipline"
or the "required willpower" to achieve your goals?
Consider that goals and desires are a journey, and
the place you are now is one required step on that
path.
Today's Affirmation: I cherish the
journey.
