99. Habits and Self Discipline.

The idea to start something starts with habits and to develop habits one must be disciplined. You don’t need too much self-discipline, you just need discipline enough to develop that into habits. There has been researches that have been done in various universities and according to that, it takes nearly 66 days to develop a habit. Every successful person has rituals. Yeah, let’s call it the ritual because doing great work is like doing worship. You must completely concentrate on it and you must completely believe it. Why do people have low will power? Why do people are unable to convert their will into the habit? It is the lack of motivation. It is because people sometimes want results too fast. You may have met novice bodybuilders who do exercise and immediately go to mirror to see the growth. They are working for miracles because they don’t have belief in their acts. If they had belief in their acts then they would concentrate on body building rather than notice the progress every day and later doubt the methods which lead to the good body. They can’t think of themselves with the good body because they want instant results. They want good body like someone else that they have seen or have met but they have never imagined themselves in a good body. Their motivation loses once they can’t see the result. The person who believes in the person and takes the effort to develop a self-discipline to move forward to convert one act of his into the habit even though he does not see any change will succeed no matter what. For starters, try to do something every day. It could be anything. The idea is to develop your powers of mind so strong that they become accustomed to developing any habits within very less time. When you do the same thing every day at the same time for nearly two months it will develop into a habit which then will be difficult to change even for yourself. Successful people have the talent of developing habits very easily. If someone develops the talent of creating habits easily his focus towards the things he plans to do will also increase because your mind won’t have to force itself to do that particular thing instead your mind will suggest itself what to do. That creates success.
