Hard Work – The Third Pillar Of Self-Discipline
Hard work is misunderstood these days. It’s like two 4-letter words strung together.
But the worst 4-letter work really is “can’t”.
Without hard work you can’t reach the goals you need to feel great.
Nothing but great effort can produce great feelings of great accomplishment.
What outlines the work you find hard are the things that challenge you.
How many have you disrespected things that where just handed to you, no matter how valuable you knew they were? How many times has someone told you “I wish I could do that” and you felt nothing about it? It’s part of the human condition, we simply don’t respect things that don’t take hard work to accomplish.
Most often through great challenges come great results. When you develop the discipline of hard work you gain the ability to go farther then people who continually reach only for what’s easiest.
Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world, but without daily hard work to maintain his abilities, he would only be fast – not the fastest. Imagine what Usain’s ability would be if he watched T.V. For 4 hours a day eating Big Mac’s?
We only know Nelson Mandela as the visionary he is because of the hard work to employs to make his voice unify so many people’s ideals. Enduring 27 years in prison for his cause and not giving up is very hard work and demonstrates his self discipline to act.
Two completely different goals, both accomplished with the self discipline for hard work. It’s universal, and will create results no matter what industry or skill it’s focused in. Long term results follow strong efforts.
One problem with achieving the successes you desire is learning to accept the challenges that feel painful or uncomfortable to endure. The turning point comes when you are able to embrace and even enjoy the challenges of hard work.
Hard work builds a successful character.
If you want strong muscles, you work them hard, and even learn to enjoy the pain of “one more rep”. When you want your life to be as strong and dominating as a body builder, you have to apply the strong principles of hard work to your life.
Do you want to feel more confidant?
Feel more successful?
Feel a greater sense of accomplishment?
Accept what’s holding you back and work hard to remove that barrier.
That’s it. Just do it.
Think about all the projects around you that have been left undone, probably because the work has been harder then you wanted to push yourself.
Select one of those projects right now and go do it – now.
Seriously … After you complete it you’ll feel proud of yourself. Giving in you more confidence to do more. It’s called building momentum.
Go..! Do it now.
