Self Control
Many a time we set a routine & keep following. But there might come a distraction that might set us off the routine. That is when we have to exercise self control. We must stop that moment and differentiate what is necessary & what is not.
Practice with Discipline
Now comes the implementation part. You have to follow what you have set for yourself with utmost self discipline. There might be times when you would struggle. Acknowledge & make efforts to overcome them. Practice, practice, practice.
Measure your progress
Keep a check on your routine. You would fail. But keep moving ahead. Make corrections. And repeat. Once you are on track & understand the value of consistent work, you would not leave it.
Life is a journey. We can take any path & walk anyway. But self discipline makes us walk the path which gives meaning to our life and leads us to our desired destination.
