The last two weeks have been beyond busy (10-12 hours days plus) and my morning discipline of posting to Active Rain has taken a back seat to meeting real estate commitments along with some personal commitments. My first revisited learned lesson is sometimes one must prioritize one’s actions and recognize there are only 24 hours in a day. This first revisited discipline lesson has been experienced in the past and I know will again surface in the future.
Looking forward to the next four weeks, the real estate activity will continue to be very full from listings to managing the existing real estate transactions in escrow.
My second revisited discipline lesson is not to have regrets about not adhering to a specific discipline. Regrets are counter productive because regrets are about the past and not the present as definitely not about the future. Additionally, regrets work against inner peace as noted by Mike Ditka:
"Success isn’t measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace."
The final lesson is to return to one’s discipline as soon as possible. This means to do what you need to do now and not later. This quote by David Campbell helps us to return to our discipline.
Discipline is remembering what you want.
Others have shared their thoughts about discipline.
Discipline yourself, and others won’t need to.
John Wooden
Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but nonetheless doing it like you love it.
Mike Tyson
Few men are born brave. Many become so through training and force of discipline.
