Make A Habit of Doing Things When You Don't Feel Like It

Zig Ziglar gave the advice contained in the title of this post when he said "Discipline yourself to do the things you need to do when you need to do them, and the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them"!

How true those words are! Come off it, there are times when we just don't feel like doing something important at the time we are supposed to do them. We procrastinate and say it will be done "later" and then it is never done.


                                  
If you want to become a person of achievement in whatever endeavor you choose, then you must make a habit of doing things when you are supposed to. All it requires is personal discipline on your part.

As Ziglar also said "you cannot feel your way into acting but you have to act your way into feeling". What this means is that to achieve in life, you should not wait until anytime you feel like carrying out any of the plans toward achieving your life's dreams, but rather, you should discipline yourself to carry out the plans as soon as the need arises and you will soon find yourself feeling good after every successful step you accomplish, which will spur you to carry on.

To develop the discipline required to acquire the habit of doing things when you don't feel like, you need to account for the hours you spend each day of your life. Now ask yourself honestly, how many hours of each day do you spend in pursuit of your current dream in life?

I'm not just talking about moving aimlessly in pursuit of your life's ambition. Recall, in one of the earlier posts on this blog, we talked about creating plans and even how to create them. That is where to focus your efforts when moving in the direction of your dreams.

Spend valuable time on activities towards achieving your life's ambition that you can reflect on at the end of each day with a sense of accomplishment. And before long, you will forever cherish the discipline you have formed as a habit because any day you did not do something valuable in the direction of your dream, you will feel somehow incomplete.

But that feeling will now spur you to action the very next day and every other day thereafter because it has now become a habit.That is one major difference between achievers and non-achievers.

There you have another wealth secret! Now get to work.
