A Good Read – The Power of Discipline

By

Brian Tracy is a well-known advocate for professional development. In his book, The Power of Discipline, Tracy provides seven (7) ways discipline can change your life.  As the 2024 New Year happens tomorrow, I thought this would be a good read to end 2023 as we LEAP into 2024. With each way, I have included one of the many quotes that help emphasize or summarize the way.

Tracy begins with the first way – Self Discipline and Goals.

"When you decide upon a goal, you override your failure mechanism and change the direction of your life." 

Brian Tracy

Then the other ways follow:

#2 - Self-Discipline and Character

“What you do speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

#3 - Self-Discipline and Time Management

"You cannot manage time you can only manage yourself."

Peter Drucker

NOTE:  Time is an oxymoron as time is a  constant and hence cannot be managed.

#4 - Self-Discipline and Personal Health

"Your goal in life should be to enjoy the highest levels of health and energy possible."

Brian Tracy

#5 - Self-Discipline and Money 

"The key, however, is to pay yourself first, off the top, any money you earn."

Brian Tracy

#6 - Self Discipline and Courage

"Courage is not the absence of fear; it is control of fear, mastery of fear."

Mark Twain

#7 - Self-Discipline and Responsibility

"When you practice self-discipline and willpower in the acceptance of responsibility, you take complete control of your thoughts and feelings, and become a more effective, happy and positive person in everything you do."

Brian Tracy

Thank you for supporting my postings in 2023 and I look forward to improving my own discipline in supporting your postings.  May 2024 bring every Active Rain Member and those who come to Active Rain to learn about real estate a year filled with incredible peace and abundance along with the Power of Discipline.
