Discipline Is The Reward That Leads To Success.

Introduction

Discipline is the reward that leads to success. Your life should be disciplined. Discipline is merely the application of self-imposed norms for the sake of achieving a higher aim. I am now going to discuss self-discipline. Self-discipline is essential for all leaders. If you are not self-disciplined, you are not a leader. Now, self-discipline implies that there are other disciplines; in other words, external discipline is regarded as another discipline. A leader does not need any external discipline.

Self-Discipline

Leaders, on the other hand, discipline themselves, which we call self-discipline. Discipline is the key to realising your goal, as stated in Proverbs 29:18. “Where there is no vision, the people perish; blessed is the man who keeps the law.” Here is an example of what that means: Where there is no vision, the constraint is thrown off. That is what the word perish means: to lose one’s self-control. In other words, if there is no revelation of the future, people lose self-control; therefore, knowing your vision forces discipline on you, which is the key to your existence. Vision, in essence, is the wellspring of discipline.

In a moment, I will go over what it means and how it works. Discipline is the foundation of leadership. Because of your innate beauty, people are drawn to you. Since people admire discipline in others, a disciplined individual will naturally attract others. That is why we watch athletes compete: we respect their discipline. People will learn to believe what you say if you discipline yourself. Your rigorous lifestyle fosters trust. People are more likely to trust someone who appears to be disciplined. This is why athletes have been employed to promote, advertise, and market products; they are selling the discipline of the athlete.

The Dedication of Discipline

Well, maybe not their fame, but their dedication. Although we mistakenly think it’s their fame, it is their discipline. You think that by wearing Nike sneakers, you will be able to jump as high as Cristiano Ronaldo. So, they convinced you that you needed to get Nike shoes if you wanted to be like Ronaldo. The idea is that by adopting his discipline, which offers the level of expert athleticism for which he is known, you are adopting his philosophy. The discipline has an impact on you as a result. As we are inspired by the athletes’ focus, we prefer to watch sports rather than take part in them. The same is true for you.

Therefore, discipline is effective, and the Bible says that discipline is the outcome of vision. A person with no clear direction in life leads an unstructured life. On the other hand, a person with vision lives in a highly confined world. Disciplined individuals must lead somewhat modest lifestyles. When someone has a vision, their life is severely limited. Why? Since vision makes life easier, what do I mean by this?

Capturing Your Vision

All of a sudden, everything starts to make sense. Your decisions are all driven by your vision. Once you know where you are going, you can immediately identify which roads will not get you there. Therefore, if you know what to do, you also know what not to do. Vision tells you what to do in life since it gives you your permanent address and reveals where you will be going. The word “destiny” originates from this. Your fate directs your decisions. Keep a record of it. Your outcome will depend on the decisions you make.

Life, therefore, becomes simpler. If someone gives you something that does not fit your vision, it is easy to say no. Without a vision, it is difficult to reject things. Life can get challenging. To take this a step further, let us think about yet another concept. You did not come into this world able to do everything. Yes, to that. The Lord is telling me that makes me joyful. Oh, I said, thank you. The burden has gone away. There is always something to do in life, according to our thinking. I strongly object. The same thing was what I used to think. Your life is not that busy right now.

Study People of Fame

Is it not fascinating to research people who have succeeded in life? Abraham became well-known along with Moses, Joshua, David, Paul, Yeshua, Abraham Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela. Since they are just like you and me, you assume they are lying. This is what I notice, to be specific. Your life will become simple once you reach the point where you only live for that one thing. People who become aware of their vision live longer, in better health, and with less stress. Martha is an intriguing individual. Like the majority of us, Martha makes assumptions about everything, even God. Yeshua paid a visit to Martha at her place of residence.

What exactly did she do? She imagined Yeshua was hungry. That is the problem: we think we know what Yahweh wants us to do. One thing you have learned so far is that visions come from Yahweh; you do not tell Him what you intend to do; you must report to him, submit to him, and be still until you are clear of the revelation. Since there is no discipline without it, Martha was compelled to cook for Yeshua, who was not even hungry. So, she became upset because others were not joining her in her busyness, which was wrong. In other words, she tried to recruit the assistance of others, which was not Yahweh’s will at the time.

Send Assistance

“Look, why don’t you send my sister to help me now?” Martha said to Yeshua as she continued to prepare. You should study the response Yeshua provided; it was a leadership reaction. “Martha, you are so preoccupied with so many things,” he observed.

Do Only What Is Necessary

The difference between growing and changing is that I have expanded my knowledge, experience, and expectations while remaining constant. I am still the same person with the same message and goal, which makes my life easier. He says you are too busy and are trying to do everything and be everything to everyone. He then tells Martha that only a few things are necessary. That is truly amazing, isn’t it? “Look, life is full of a million questions every day and a million things to do,” he explained, “but only a few things are truly necessary to do in life.”

Let me ask you this: Is what you have been doing for the past eleven months necessary? Do not answer; instead, think about it. Your response may surprise you. The question then becomes, “What is required?” What do you mean when you say “necessary”? It is answered quite clearly in the Bible; it is easy to locate; and, according to Paul the apostle, it is necessary. Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 6:12, Paul adds, “Anything is permissible for me to do.” I may do whatever I want, he says, but not everything is good for me. Seventy years is such a short time that you have no time to make a mistake. 

So if you are forty years old, you are already over the 50% threshold, so you better make sure you are clear about what your vision is right away.

Where Am I Going?

Define it so that you avoid wasting any more time. The last phase of your life cycle is about to begin. This is not the time to experiment; rather, it is the time to live intentionally. It is too late to start taking detours and shortcuts; you must know where you are going. You are expected to go through and be concerned about how you will get there, so you better know where you are going. He told Martha that there are only a few things in life that are necessary. Some people are utterly useless in your life. Some of you have chosen the wrong company, and they have squandered your time.

By eating, playing, watching television, and going to clubs with you. “Look,” Yeshua says, “you are still not where you should be.” These people are a distraction. Some of the publications you’ve been buying, such as romance novels and fashion magazines, are unnecessary. They will not get you to your destination. I mean, having a vision simplifies your life. You can walk up to a bookstore shelf and know which books you should not buy. Your vision determines everything.

Conclusion

Let me simply give you a few examples of how it exerts control over your freedom of choice. It is intended to be a source of encouragement for you; it makes your life easier. Do you know why the majority of people are poor? I understand why they are poor. Poverty is a result, not a problem. The bulk of people are in poverty because no one knows who they are. What exactly does it mean, vision? It helps in the development of self-identity.

Let me make a very important statement in front of the entire world, and since they already know who you are and what they can come to you for, if you want to be successful, write this down: do not pursue success; aim to become a person of value. If you want to be successful in life, do not seek success; instead, strive to become someone valuable.

Call To Action

The most important aspect of success is self-control. You must be disciplined if you want to be successful in life. Otherwise, disciplined individuals will surpass you. You have a limitless capacity to do great things. And all you need is determination. So, why are you squandering your time? Begin doing things that will bring you closer to your goal. Self-discipline is the key to success in life. You cannot achieve anything in life unless you have it. Successful people will always advise you to maintain your discipline. But the question is:

• Why is self-discipline necessary for success in life?

“Self-discipline allows you to become an unstoppable force of energy and achieve amazing things in life. The first thing you must do if you want to be successful in life is discipline yourself. Because if you do not, someone else will, and the results will not be pleasant.
