Let’s take a look at some personal disciplines that will help you become successful however you define it. And personal disciplines spill over into spiritual disciplines.
Here is a story from a business book I once read. It seems a young man had a promising professional/managerial job. But he seemed to be going nowhere. He wasn’t really motivated. The bosses seemed to forget about him when thinking about people with promotion potential.
Problem was, he was always late. He was late to work. Late to meetings. Late with reports. He was always frazzled, disorganized, fuzzy thinking.
Then one day he faced up to his problem and decided to change. He set the alarm to get up 15 minutes earlier. He got to work early and organized his day. He arrived early at meetings and was prepared for the discussion.
His demeanor grew calmer. He became more organized and confident.
It worked so well that he started getting up an hour earlier so that he could read things that filled his mind spiritually and intellectually.
He began to be the executive that no one would have ever imagined just a few short years before.
It all began when he decided to not be late all the time.
Changing just one bad habit can change your life.
