worthwhile is easy first decide upon the
one discipline that can be most helpful
to you in your career at the moment
don't try to change several things about
yourself at once or develop several
disciplines for yourself simultaneously
no matter how attractive and desirable
they may be at the moment your basic
need is to focus and concentrate on the
development of a single discipline until
it is locked in and becomes a part of
your personality then you can move on to
the development of the next discipline
on your list once you've chosen a
discipline to develop begin to think
about how you would behave if you
already had this discipline or habit see
yourself acting or reacting in a
situation where you want to practice
this discipline then create a positive
affirmation for yourself to continually
reinforce this new discipline you will
actually become what you say to yourself
about yourself over and over again this
will build your self-confidence and
you'll begin to see yourself in a new
light for example you can say I am
always timely and punctual I am always
punctual for every meeting I am always
punctual for every appointment
I am always punctual and as you keep
repeating that
over and over again you program it
deeper and deeper into your subconscious
mind and your subconscious mind then
begins to push you to be on time for
every meeting or appointment now once
you've decided on the discipline you're
going to develop the key is for you to
launch strongly on your new discipline
resolve to never allow an exception
until it becomes permanent if you fall
off the wagon immediately restate your
affirmation as a command to yourself and
begin trying it again this is the only
way you can develop a habit of
discipline in that particular area the
