The truth about real freedom

What is your definition of Freedom?

What is your definition of Discipline?

Do your definitions hold to the classics of wanting all the rewards of success whilst being unwilling to work for them? Many people are held back by their lack of understanding of what a true sense of discipline takes and what real freedom gives.

True discipline takes awareness and a sense of self-mastery. A lot of us feel that if we follow a daily schedule, then we forego our freedom. However, the reality is these are only choices. Learning the value of discipline will teach you how to make consistent choices that continually empower you. Your decision and choices will be focused, clear and consistent.

Are you willing to take full responsibility for your successes and your failures?

You need to see discipline as the quickest and easiest way to real freedom. True freedom brings with it the ability to focus, a clarity of intention and a sense of inner peace.
Deserving success without discipline does not give you the freedom desired. The only way to truly grasp and obtain freedom is to embrace discipline.

Through becoming more disciplined, you will use your time wisely and start to think about the big picture rather than being reactive to your moods and environment. Discipline will help you to accomplish everything more easily.

1. Can you count on yourself to finish the task that you start?
   
   
2. How many projects are left undone in both your personal and professional environment currently?
   
   
3. What would your life look like if you practiced disciplined freedom?
   
   
4. What could you accomplish if you were more disciplined?

Understanding the difference between discipline and freedom will give you the motivation and willingness to accomplish what needs to be done with less fear or resistance.

1. Complete a daily time log to establish the activities that are keeping you from achieving your goals.
   
   
2. Determine whether it is adding to your life in the area of your chosen goal or whether it is subtracting from your desired outcome.
   
   
3. Add up the total number of hours where you have procrastinated or used a roadblock and then the number of hours you applied discipline and utilized your time effectively.
   
   
4. What do you need to do differently?
