I was online reading an article by Steve Pavlina where he describes self-discipline as, ‘the ability to get yourself to take action regardless of your emotional state.’
He goes into some depth on the subject and it’s an interesting article but the basis of it is stated here (taking action regardless of your emotional state).
I thought that was both so common sense and so interesting that I decided to repeat it here.
Daily training is as much about self-discipline as it is about inspiration. The simple tasks I complete during the course of my daily training improve my abilities in both the short term and over the long haul.
I have found that being inspired can be a hit or miss thing. Having the self-discipline to train whether I’m inspired or not builds a confidence in me that allows me to take greater advantage of those times when I feel inspired.
I have also found that upon those occasions that I have been forced to call upon my skills, a daily routine keeps them sharp.
Without prejudice
