Training Discipline - The Key to All Awesomeness

Discipline. The single most important thing to possess when it comes to developing your awesomeness. It's what allows you to resist any urges, and keeps you going when the temptation to quit is strong. If you have a strong discipline, nothing can hold you back. You can learn whatever you want, become whatever you want and do whatever you want. It is the cornerstone of a strong mind and body, and it will enable you to develop all other aspects of awesomeness as well.

Therefore, it is absolutely essential that you greatly develop your discipline!

So how do you do it?

Developing your discipline is a simple, straight-forward process. You develop your discipline every time you force your body or mind to act against an impulse, no matter how weak or strong. This teaches your body and mind how to more easily resist temptation, which is exactly what we're trying to accomplish here.

For example, say that your body is craving sugar, and you're thinking about going to the kitchen to get some candy. If you refuse to act on that temptation, you train your discipline, and you will have an easier time resisting the temptation in the future.Your discipline will have grown stronger. Then, when stronger temptations appear, such as the temptation to quit whatever you're doing, you will be able to resist it, since you've trained your discipline well enough. If you forfeit to that same temptation and go stuff your face with candy, however, you will instead find it even harder to resist it the next time temptation comes around.

This is the basics of training your discipline. All you need to do is to try and resist any and all temptations you feel during the day - no matter how small. Feel like checking Facebook before you get to work? Resist it! Want to get a soda with your meal? Resist it! Eventually, as your discipline grows stronger, you will find it easier and easier to resist these things.

A more detailed and in-depth guide about how you can develop your discipline will be posted in the future, but for now, this is all you need to know.
