Goals and Self discipline

Goals and Self discipline

All of us have goals. We aspire to find meaning in life.

Some achieve their goals. Few even go beyond and achieve tremendous success. A majority fail to reach.

Among several things, self-discipline plays a great role in determining if a person achieves his or her goals.

Here’s a blueprint for success.

  • Know where you want to go

  • Have self-discipline to create habits that propel you towards these goals

Skipping any one of these reduces the probability of success. So, are you ready to make it big?

If you didn’t have a chance to stumble upon this story, let me share it here.
