DO IT ANYHOW
“Do what needs to be done when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.”
“This is the way, walk in it.” It’s not an attitude that approaches with the clenched fist of demand, but with the open hand of love which reaches out to say, ‘’Come on, follow me. I’ll show you the way.”
One of the greatest gifts we can give to our children is consistent and certain discipline.
When we are small, we have no self-discipline; it has to be learned.
We can’t separate discipline and desire. If the desire is strong enough, if it is burning within you to achieve a goal, the discipline can be developed.

Will You Pay the Price?
There’s a price to be paid for success in any area of life.
We cannot do everything at once; but we can do something at once.
Do It Anyhow
Self-discipline is doing what needs to be done, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.
What are your challenges of self-discipline?
If you have been (or will be) smart enough to develop priorities and a value structure that incorporate the wisdom of self-discipline, then you can live with the finest of all motivation, the proper inner attitude!
You will know, as every self-disciplined person knows, there is always a price to pay for success, but it is never as great as the price you pay for failure!
