Secrets of Self-Discipline: How to Become Supremely Focused

 Self-discipline. Let’s be honest. For most of us, it’s a work in progress wrapped in good intentions, procrastination, and feelings of failure. But it doesn’t have to be. Self-discipline, like everything else, is a practice. Not every day will be perfect, but each day -- with its failures and small wins -- is progress, and that’s what self-discipline is all about.

I’ve rounded up steps you can take today to build self-discipline. Coupled with a healthy understanding of what self-discipline is and a little inspiration, this post gives you the tools you need to develop a practice of self-discipline in everything you do.

Self-Discipline Quotes

  1. “Willpower is what separates us from the animals. It’s the capacity to restrain our impulses, resist temptation – do what’s right and good for us in the long run, not what we want to do right now. It’s central, in fact, to civilization.” -Dr. Roy Baumeister, Ph.D.
  2. “The only way to do something in depth is to work hard. The moment you start being in love with what you’re doing, and thinking it’s beautiful or rich, then you’re in danger.” -Miuccia Prada
  3. “One painful duty fulfilled makes the next plainer and easier.” -Helen Keller
  4. “This quality of self-denial in pursuit of a longer-term goal and, indeed, the willpower to maintain the denial, is excellent training for the boardroom.” -John Viney
  5. “I used to walk down the street like I was a superstar… I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be – and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.” -Lady Gaga
  6. “We don’t have to be smarter than the rest; we have to be more disciplined than the rest.” -Warren Buffett
  7. “My will shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.” -Elaine Maxwell
  8. “It doesn’t matter whether you are pursuing success in business, sports, the arts, or life in general: The bridge between wishing and accomplishing is discipline.” -Harvey Mackay
  9. “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” -Oprah Winfrey
  10. “Your ability to discipline yourself to set clear goals, and then to work toward them every day, will do more to guarantee your success than any other single factor.” -Brian Tracy
  11. “Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.” -Anne Sweeney
  12. “The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person.” -Stephen Covey
  13. “It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” -J.K. Rowling
  14. “Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.” -Dan Millman
  15. “We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes -- understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.” -Arianna Huffington

Traveling for Two: Advice for Pregnant Vacationers

Schlepping bags through an airport and long car rides in an automobile are not the most memorable aspects of anyone's vacation -- and if you already happen to be carrying a little extra baggage these days because you're pregnant, those memories may be all you will remember unless you plan your trip well. But experts say pregnant travelers need not be detained from vacations and other travel plans. "Up to 24 weeks into the pregnancy, if the mother is doing well she can do all sorts of traveling," says Marcos Pupkin, MD, chair of obstetrics-gynecology at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore.

Costs include flights/transportation, hotels, food, entertainment/experiences and any equipment/clothes you need before you go. Because you are far from home, you might not know where the best outlets are and how to economise, so things could cost a lot more than you are used to. Before you know where you are, you find you need $'000 for your trip. 2. Missing out on earning at home The other side of the coin is earnings. While you are away you aren't doing your regular job, using your experience and training and earning a pay packet (of course this doesn't apply if you are taking regular annual leave). You could be in the uncomfortable position of burning through your savings at a manic rate with no income. 3. Finding a job while you are travelling If you are planning on working abroad there are q...
