How Discipline and Action Lead to Success with Renard Walker

The right discipline and action lead to success. But it takes time and effort to see results. Discipline equals order. When we have discipline, we know how to take action and when to do it. We can identify which ones are our priorities and plan out the steps we must take.      

Disciplining ourselves does not mean we are punishing our minds and body. Rather, we train ourselves to behave in certain conduct. And when we train to obey this code of conduct, success follows.

Of course, it is possible for us to do it, but not all can develop it. It takes time, passion, will, and determination to call someone “disciplined”. So, how can we do it? How can one use discipline to earn success?
