Self Discipline the Neuroscience by Ray Clear (Audiobook)

******

Self-discipline is a wonderful thing. It can mean the difference between achieving goals and not achieving goals. It can give a person a greater sense of self-worth. It can allow someone the ability to work harder for a shorter amount of time and accomplish much more than before. Self-discipline can make the process of dropping bad habits in favor of good ones much easier to accomplish. People who have self-discipline are happier in life. They have a greater sense of purpose overall and a greater sense of accomplishment in everyday life. Seeking self-discipline is the best way to a better life.

Self-discipline is a goal that will only be accomplished by following a path that will cause a great deal of pain. Walking this path will require a good deal of hard work and dedication because this path is not an easy one to walk. Sometimes, people fall off. Sometimes, the direction of the path needs to be changed. Sometimes, the path needs to be broken up into smaller trips in order to be able to complete the whole journey.

Self-control and self-discipline require hard work and serious commitment. If a person is not really serious about the need to develop self-discipline, then it just will not happen. No one can give anyone else self-discipline. It needs to be learned within.

However, consider what happens if self-discipline is never developed. Can a person go on in life without ever developing any level of self-discipline? Of course they can. What they will be missing out on is a lifetime of achievement. They will be giving up all sense of self-worth and self-fulfillment. They will lose out on the ability to replace bad habits with good ones. They will never know the joy of getting rid of addictions and temptations. They will be forever plagued by negative feelings of anger and regret and guilt. They will live their entire lives accomplishing nothing because they lack the necessary self-discipline to accomplish anything. They will not succeed.

Of course, it is a purely personal choice. It is possible to live life without accomplishing anything. It is possible to just skate through life devoid of any sense of self-worth and self-love. It is possible to get to the end and never achieve any type of goal. However, what kind of life would that really be?

The best way is to begin today to work on personal goals. Start now by deciding which habits are bad and need to be replaced. Make a list of good habits that need to be cultivated. Decide when this new lifestyle will begin - keeping in mind that sooner is better. Write down all the goals that need to be achieved and all the good habits that need to be cultivated. Post this list where everyone can see it. Tell family and friends. Get everyone involved.

Most importantly, remember that a successful outcome will be its own best reward!

I used to be self-disciplined before. I worked hard in school and all my efforts paid off. I played piano and become really good at memorizing the songs and could play with my eyes closed. As I grew older, I started becoming less motivated in life, and my grades curved down. I was depressed, still am. I'm glad I came across this video. I want to make a fresh start, and whoever is reading this, I hope you do as well. Don't give up! It will all pay off. I always look back at those moments when I was strong-willed and persistent, and all my efforts paid off.

[charlottesmith]

I had two little girls very close together (13 months difference) and their dad completely lost the plot. He kidnapped my first born several times, in and out of jail, started using drugs and endangering the wellbeing of my baby. He hasn’t met his second daughter as he was arrested and incarcerated for 4 months the day she was born.
I have always wanted to do well but seeing anything through to the end has been the hardest part for me, I now have two little girls that rely on me to be the absolute best I can be, so to come across this video at such a crucial time in my life is a godsend. I’m only half way through the video and intend to listen to it over and over, but the mere fact I managed to clean and tidy my downstairs this evening is proof in the pudding.
I know I’m capable of so much and I desire mostly to be the best role model to my children that I could possibly be.
I’m going through lengthy court processes and all sorts which is extremely draining and the past couple of days have been hard… but this is my turning point, as of now. I’m going to strive for the best so that my family can thrive. I’m going to do this. We can ALL do this. I wish the best to each and every one of you ❤️

The lamp is glowing! Now I understand why I succeeded many times the odds were against me and failed even when the odds were in my favour. I have been spending the time thinking about what I needed to do and how would it feel once I get it. Then I succeeded. So many other times I was just working on the next task and then the next and the next. Then I failed.

The conclusion is that I need to have the goal in mind while doing the work. That will motivate me to do the job just right, no half-assing nor going perfectionistic. Knowing this in the future will change my chances for success greatly.

I am about one hour in, let's see what else am I to learn from this book!

[miketapta]

They write less and less books containing old school wisdoms like this one. Boys, i have to admit that i do have an emotional longing for books like this....
Congratulations to every body who took 4 hours of the time to listen to this audio material. As for me i will be listening to this audio 3 months from now.
Peace!

[jamesrenfro]

I have listened to the entire book. Totally changed - my mind is transformed - words are to many to describe my thoughts and knowledge. Where was this book 20 years ago? My life would have taken a different course. Never too late

Don’t give up

[AdrianMei]

I had always work hard to get ahead, but then I tend to slow down once I get to a comfortable position. Then I stopped engaging & eventually fall behind. Beat myself up for awhile… then pick myself up again. The cycle repeats. Don’t make the same mistake y’all. I’ll need to stop comparing myself and take it easy. Just be humble and work hard, 1% change everyday and keep the flow going.

[diplomat]

I was a very strong headed girl back in my school days.I blindly believed I could do anything those days.In my teenage years I was constantly body shamed by my relatives..passing crude remarks on my colour, my acne, my weight, my height everything. First it never affected me but somehow I also started believing their opinions about me.I found it really difficult to meet people...ended up always thinking if they are looking at my pimple scars or facial hair(a Cyster here ).
I don't know how but I gradually lost all the confidence I had..I got in to medical school somehow..was a struggle...lived in the shadows of my so called friends.
Deep down I knkw this is not me...I really want a start over..I want to have control over my life...and I want to be able to not give a horseshit about wat people think of me ...like before..I hope this helps.
