Why is it important to be disciplined ?

Suppose you have a passion for something, say physics, but you lack the devotion and dedication to pursue that vision and on the other hand you have another guy in your class who just “naturally” happens to be smart in that subject. Of course, when he/she beats you in class test, you will be questioning your intelligence, but this is the part where you should questioning your devotion and not your intelligence.

See, hard work beats intelligence when intelligence doesn’t work hard !
And by “work hard” I mean the word devotion or as you refer to it as “discipline”
Discipline is so very much important in the area where you want to master.
Discipline teaches us a lot of things that we cannot learn by reading or just sharing with other or by listening to some great stories of great men.

Can you learn how to swim without ever standing in the pool ?
I bet you cannot.
This the same reason why discipline is so very much important to master anything in life. Here are a few pointers for you to understand the importance of discipline :-

1. DISCIPLINE MAKES US WORK HARD WITH SOME STRATEGIC PLANS AND PROCEDURES. 
   Discipline factor only comes into force when you do something in a planned and a proper way. Without Scheduling there is no Craft Mastering. Please remember this.
   
2. DISCIPLINE MOTIVATES US ALONG THE WAY OF SUCCESS.
   
   Discipline is the best teacher we could ever get. We get to learn a lot in the process of our struggles and in the journey to achieve our dream goal. Whenever we sit down or we lack the motivation to do something, the discipline factor motivates us from inside and makes us roll our sleeves again. Ready to fight and hustle for dreams.
   
3. DISCIPLINE STEMS IN US THE EXTREME VALUE OF TIME
   
   When we are doing something that requires our disciplined action, the value of time passing by is realized much attentively than sitting on the couch and eating pizza all day does.
   
4. DISCIPLINED HARD WORK REPLENISHES US AND COMPLETELY CHANGES US FROM THE INSIDE.
   After you have really worked hard for something, just look at yourself in the mirror. You will completely see a NEW YOU !!!. And how does that happen ? Because the act of disciplined work makes us focused, releases various motivational factors and chemicals in our brain and makes us feel euphoric. Ever wondered how difficult it is for that caterpillar to escape the cocoon ? It is that never ending thirst to escape, backed by disciplined action which turns a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly, ready to fly in the world !

Discipline is the backbone of all success. All great inventions, till day, have been a product of relentless passion and never-ending disciplined action till the goal got achieved.
I myself believe that there is nothing that can beat a person who has disciplined action and burning passion in his armory. 



Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.
