Choosing to act. Anyway
To achieve a goal you need a discipline. You need to BE disciplined. And some say – “Oh I’m not that type – I have no discipline. I’m random”.
Well… your disciplined enough to get up and go to work every day.
“But that’s just a habit and I have to” – you say.
It’s a habit because you created a discipline. And no you don’t Have to – you Choose to.
Because you want money – and having a job is one of the easier ways of doing it.
Now a job (unless you steal, from shareholders or the company’s coffers- see Global Financial Crisis) doesn’t make you wealthy. For financial wealth and stability you need to create something of your own. And typically that is done, after work.
The Self Made Wealthy say 9 -5 is where you earn the money so that you can create wealth after 5pm.
We all have discipline, if we have to.
The key is to focus on the goal so that its accomplishment is something you want badly. Badly enough to give up something else. Badly enough to do the actions required when you ‘don’t really feel like it’.
Because lets be honest no matter what it is – if its a business related project, as opposed to a hobby – there’s going to be a time (lots of times) you don’t want to do the steps. When it doesn’t seem worth it.
Then you need to look at the end result. Imagine the end result. Having it done. And imagining, visualizing – what does it feel like now. Having accomplished the task?
After all you go to work on Mondays, when you don’t want to. And if all you have is a job for income, you have to go to work EVERY MONDAY, because there is no ability for residual income.
Athletes and Artists don’t become good, never mind excellent without years of daily practice , and most of the time they don’t want to do the practice – but they choose to.

Someone asked a world famous classical guitarist –“ O Mr Segovia I would give anything to play like you.”
And he answered – “you don’t have to give anything Madam – you have to give Everything.”
Its not discipline. It’s that you Choose to do the actions to get your goal.
When your tired or bored or the steps are dull, or nothing seems to be happening you choose to continue – because that’s where your goal is. In the going –on.
Right there, when nothing seems to be happening.
Your goal is right there.
