Good morning gentlemen,
There was a time in my life that I thought that in order to succeed I had to just get lucky, or maybe get in the right circle. And yes, some have succeeded by doing these things, yet most of those who did eventually failed at one point or another. Why? Because most lacked discipline and they never learned or understood basic principles. I’ve failed at so many things in the early part of life, because of lack of discipline and part of this was not listening to people like my parents and grandparents who tried to impart these things. Yes, I am better now but lost at the cost, look at the time lost, and the pain that came at that cost.
A man who truly wants to succeed, must cut these five things out from his daily routine if he doesn’t, they won’t just slow him down, they’ll destroy him silently.
Here are five things that a gentleman needs to cut from his daily routine in order to succeed.
1. Cut off procrastination every I’ll do it later, eventually turns into I wish I had started earlier. What you delayed today becomes the enemy that defeats you tomorrow
2. Cut off the negative mindset, it is a quiet killer. If you already believe you’ll fail you, don’t even need an enemy and you become your own
3. Cut off laziness, good intentions don’t pay bills; dreams without effort dying; in silence while you sleep on your potential, someone else is awake and grinding
4. Cut off your vices, addiction is slow suicide; if you don’t control your habits, your habits will end up controlling your life
5. Cut off complacency; comfort is dangerous, comfort is where potential goes to die. The moment you stop growing you’ve already started declining.
Here is the reality, most men never learn; a discipline man is not controlled by pleasure, he is driven by purpose.
