Lack of discipline

                When consistency and persistency combine, the dreams become reality.

Ali Khan

                A proverb states; slow and steady win the race. Discipline in daily life is of great importance. Self control, will power and mental stamina grow through the process of self discipline.

Lack of discipline simply disable someone from going big because every goal and every purpose is achieved through a process comprising of daily grinding.

If there is a lack of discipline or in other words, there is lack of daily basis progress, the dreams remain dreams forever.

There are many ways to practice discipline like meditation, sharp times of sleeping and getting up, setting a limit on social media usage etc.

Remember that self discipline and will power are like muscles. The more you exercise them, the more they grow.

Complaining

            Have you seen some of your friends, relatives or co workers always complaining? Of course you have.

One of the bad habits to leave is frequent complaining. There are people who always complain about the mess in their life. Their focus is always on the problems rather than blessing.

Lets accept the reality that every life has blessings and problems. The law of attraction tells us that we attract what we focus on.

So complaining about problems in life becomes an endless cycle because it does not seek the actual solution to the problems but rather increase the mental burden which deteriorates the mental peace and diminishes the problem solving ability.

Shift your focus from problems to blessing. Blessings will always be accompanied by problems like the flowers are accompanied by thorns. That is how the spice adds up.

Next time when you start complaining to people about your problems, keep in mind that 80% people around you do not care and 20% are glad to hear them.
