The Race for the Future We Want: Discipline as a Prerequisite

Life is a race. Most times, we know exactly what we want but the problem is always paying the price. We all face this problem -the difference is some conquer, some don't.

The Africans being very practical have a proverb that says "except the road leads nowhere, there will be hitches." The hitches in our personal journeys differ. Sometimes they may be distractions that come when we haven't gone anywhere yet and at other times it may be that laxity that develops as we make little successes along the way. In the latter case, we become unruly and defocus from the big picture.

So one must really, really be strong to succeed. Discipline is essential. Simply put, discipline is remembering where you are going. 

From burning that extra belly fat to becoming the best that we can ever be, one must not forget where he is going.
