Accomplishment is often deceptive because we don't see the pain and perseverance that produced it.So we may credit the achiever with brains,brawn or lucky break,and let ourselves off the hook because we fall short in all three.Not that we could all be concert pianists just by exercising enough discipline.Rather,each of us has the makings of success in some endeavor,but we will achieve this only if we apply our wills and work at it.
How can we acquire stick-to-itiveness?There is no simple,fast formula.But I have developed a way of thinking that has rescued my own vacillating will more than once.Here are the basic elements:
"WON'T POWER".This is as important as WILL power.The ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said,"Men must be decided on what they will not do,and then they are able to act with vigor in what they ought to do."
Discipline means choices.Every time you say yes to a goal or objective,you say no to many more.Every prize has its price.The prize is the yes; the price is the no.Igor Gorin,the noted Ukrainian-American baritone,told of his early days studying voice.He loved to smoke a pipe,but one day his professor said,"Igor,you will have to make up your mind whether you are going to be a great singer,or a great pipesmoker.You cannot be both." So the pipe went.
