How to Build Self-Discipline and Become More Successful (365 Powerful Thoughts From the Worlds Brightest Minds)

Its lack makes you unable to achieve your goals. Without it, youll struggle to lose weight, become fit, wake up early, work productively and save money. Not embracing it in your everyday life means that youll never realize your full potential. Ignoring it inevitably leads to regret and feeling sad about how more successful and incredible your life could have been if you had only decided to develop it.

What is this powerful thing? Self-discipline.

And if theres one thing that self-discipline is not, its instant. It takes months (if not years) to develop powerful self-control that will protect you from impulsive decisions, laziness, procrastination, and inaction.

You need to exhibit self-discipline day in, day out, 365 days in a year. What if you had a companion who would remind you daily to stay disciplined and persevere, even when the going gets tough?

365 Days With Self-Discipline is a practical, accessible guidebook for embracing more self-discipline in your everyday life. Youll learn how to do this through 365 brief, daily insights from the worlds brightest minds, expanded and commented upon by bestselling personal development author Martin Meadows.

This isnt just an inspirational book; most of the entries deliver practical suggestions that you can immediately apply in your life to become more disciplined. Here are just some of the things youll learn:

- why living your life the hard way makes it easy (and other suggestions from a successful entrepreneur and longevity scientist);

- how to overcome your initial resistance and procrastination based on the remark made by one of the most renowned Renaissance men;

- why, according to an influential neurosurgeon, its key to see problems as hurdles instead of obstacles (and how to do that);

- how to embrace an experimental mindset to overcome a fear of failure (a technique recommended by a successful entrepreneur and musician);

- how to quit in a smart way, according to a world-famous marketing expert;

- how to improve your productivity at work by implementing the advice from one of the most successful detective fiction writers;

- how a trick used by screenwriters can help you figure out the first step needed to get closer to your goals;

- how to maintain self-discipline in the long-term by paying attention to what a bestselling non-fiction author calls necessary to survive and thrive;

- how your most common thoughts can sabotage your efforts (and other valuable insights from one of the most respected Roman Stoics); and

Table of Contents

Prologue
Ouzouk woke up with the first rays of sunlight hitting his face. He scanned the interior of his dusty hut, constructed with twigs, mud and dry grass. He scratched his back, which, as always, had been bitten by insects over and over again throughout the night. Grateful that the night had passed without any danger to his family, he crawled out, careful not to make any sounds.
It was a crisp and clear morning. He would have loved to take his family for a walk around the waterfall and play with his little son, but there was work to do. It had been five days since the tribe ate something more substantial than a fistful of berries. Unfazed by the bloodthirsty mosquitoes buzzing by, Ouzouk walked over to the fire pit and warmed his calloused hands. The light scent of wood smoke filled his nostrils. He rubbed his hands together, still feeling the painful absence of his index finger lost during that fateful hunt many moons ago.
One by one, his fellow tribesmen crawled out of their huts and joined him at the fire. There was Dhizgab, his friend who was bitten by a snake and was left partly paralyzed on his left side. Gnokk limped along next, with his broken foot badly healed, and a part of his skull partly caved in after a stone thrown by an enemy tribesman hit him smack dab in the middle of his forehead. Rekknodd sauntered into the group next. So far, he was the luckiest of the band, with only a deep scar on his cheek, left from an attack by a tiger that had massacred a half of the tribe. Other mensome missing limbs, some having lost their entire families, some with even more horrible memoriesjoined the group.
When the men were ready, they separated into two groups and ventured out to secure food for the tribe. They made it back to the camp in the early afternoon, forced to make a hasty retreat after spotting a leopard resting in the thick bushes. Yet again, they had failed to obtain food, but at least they were grateful that (unlike two moons ago) this time nobody had been hurt.
With empty stomachs, the adults gathered around the fire pit while small children, supervised by teenagers armed with spears and bows, played by the creek a short distance from the camp.
They reluctantly decided that the area could no longer support them. While clean water was plentiful and predators rare, food was becoming increasingly scarce and successful hunts were few and far between.
The next day they would gather their belongings, put them on their backs, and walk for a long time until they would find another suitable place for a new temporary dwelling. Some would die along the way, some would get hurt, but such was life, Ouzouk thought to himself. A human being couldnt ever stop struggling and fighting to survive each day.
I can hear you thinking, What a weird prologue to a book about self-discipline! Bear with me, please
Our basic human nature hasnt changed since the days of Ouzouk. While the vast majority of humans fortunately no longer have to live in constant discomfort and fear of death, we would still do well to possess even a fraction of mental toughness and self-discipline our ancestors had. In the modern world, its easy to live without even a modicum of self-discipline.
Back then, nobody could avoid discomfort. It was a fact of life that one couldnt thrive unless they ventured into the world, facing unknown risks and possible death in a quest for a better life.
Today, most people are unable to wake up early without an alarm clock, and even then, it takes them thirty minutes just to crawl out of bed. Most would find it impossible to sleep on the bare floor, with insects crawling over them and biting their bodies the entire night. If they experienced just a slight ache, most would skip work and complain about how much pain they were in. Most wouldnt be able to fast for an entire day, let alone go without food for five days in a row.
Compared to our ancestors, we have it easy .
Yet, or perhaps because of it, so many people struggle with self-discipline today. A great majority of them do nothing to fix that, and the ones who try are often met with ridicule. If you belong to the group that is trying to better themselves or wanting to do so, the book youre now reading is for you.
I wrote 365 Days With Self-Discipline with the intention of creating a daily companion to help you embrace self-discipline in your everyday life.
As the author of several bestselling books about self-discipline and being a personal growth junkie myself, self-control is a topic close to my heart. I believe that if a person wants to reach their full potential, he or she cant avoid discomfort. Doing things that might not be entirely pleasant is key to achieving long-term objectives.
In the following pages, Ill share with you one thought for each day of a year that is devoted to the topic of self-discipline, mental toughness, success, or self-improvement in general. The thoughts come from some of the worlds brightest minds: successful entrepreneurs, athletes, bestselling authors, researchers, performers, bloggers, and more.
Since the entries are brief and get straight to the heart of the matter, youll be able to quickly find ongoing inspiration to continue working on your most important long-term goals and on becoming an ever better person.
Due to the large number of days in a year, some themes will inevitably repeat, but I strove to address each subtopic from different perspectives. Please note that I have quoted various people from numerous sources, including books, articles, blogs, speeches, interviews, and more. By citing their words, I dont necessarily endorse their works or their persona.
(A note on quotes in the physical and ebook version of the book whenever I could, I cited the source and included an endnote. Unfortunately, the exact source of a small number of quotes, particularly those by historic figures, was elusive to me. Whenever I couldnt find the author as is often the case with many inspirational quotes circulating around the Internet instead of risking misattribution I wrote Unknown.)
Lets turn the page and start with Day 1 and the most important thought that defines the difference between a self-disciplined person and a weak-willed one.
WEEK 1
Day 1: On Living the Hard Way
Lifes easy when you live it the hard way... and hard if you try to live it the easy way.
Dave Kekich
Self-discipline means living your life the hard way: resisting temptations and instant gratification, in order to receive bigger and better rewards in the future. Its certainly easier to avoid all kinds of discomfort and indulge yourself whenever you want, but in the end, all that you get from that approach is fleeting pleasure now at the expense of your future, which otherwise could have been much better.
