Reflecting back on UBBT 8 as we wind down this year I am thinking about discipline.
When I started on this journey I felt that I had a lot of it.
I started off with an abundance of discipline and I felt like this would not be that difficult.
Wow was I wrong!
I have come to discover that one of my greatest weaknesses is discipline.
I realized that upon reflection that I don’t yet have it.
I have failed myself in this area and I am not happy with my self.
I have also realized that not only do I not have discipline when it comes to my UBBT 8 requirements; I don’t have a level of discipline that is at level in my personal/business life that I am happy with.
I now realize what I need to do. Right now to get that level of discipline the first step is to admit that this is an area of weakness.
Now that I have done this, I have become mindful of it and it is at forefront of my thinking.
To me this is so important that to not only acknowledge the weakness but to always be mindful of it.
I am going to use this learning to be more proactive and will be the start of my development. I am going to be mindful of my mental state and work toward changing my thinking and my actions. I know this will not be easy as this is who I have always been. However, it is never too late to start or want to start to change.
Today is the first step on my new (bumpy) path. Today I am mindful of my weakness and today I going to start to change my life.

Discipline is a lifelong struggle that comes and goes. You're right though, change begins with recognizing where you are at. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteJust dont drop out of sight while you're achieving that discipline! The year may be ending, but we're still teammates, and we're here to help:)
