"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced everyday." - Jim Rohn

This month we are discussing self-discipline in our classes.  As the quote by Jim Rohn illustrates, self-discipline is the key to success in any and every area of our lives.  We must create regular habits that will aid us in accomplishing our goals. 

In our Martial Arts training, that means practicing our techniques regularly.  In school, it means creating good study habits.  At work, it means developing the ability to focus on those activities that will lead to better performance.

Success is not a permanent condition.  It requires constant work and effort to achieve.  We must choose every day to do those things we know will make us better students, teachers, parents, employees and business owners.  Fortunately, after a while of doing these things, it becomes almost a habit.  You feel off, or incomplete, when you don't do them.

Here's some more good news.  You are not alone in your efforts.  You have people all around you who want you to succeed.  Parents, teachers, supervisors, friends, etc. are willing to help you reach your goals.  And so are we.

If you are having trouble reaching certain goals, ask yourself if you are doing the things you should be doing each day to reach them.  If you find you need help or guidance, ask someone.  You'll be surprised just how many people are  willing to help you be successful!
