The Five Pillars of Self-Discipline
The five pillars of self-discipline are: Acceptance, Willpower, Hard Work, Industry, and Persistence. If you take the first letter of each word, you get the acronym â€œA WHIPâ€ â€” a convenient way to remember them, since many people associate self-discipline with whipping themselves into shape.
Each day of the series, Iâ€™ll explore one of these pillars, explaining why itâ€™s important and how to develop it. But first a general overviewâ€¦.
What Is Self-Discipline?
Self-discipline is the ability to get yourself to take action regardless of your emotional state.
Imagine what you could accomplish if you could simply get yourself to follow through on your best intentions no matter what. Picture yourself saying to your body, â€œYouâ€™re overweight. Lose 20 pounds.â€ Without self-discipline that intention wonâ€™t become manifest. But with sufficient self-discipline, itâ€™s a done deal. The pinnacle of self-discipline is when you reach the point that when you make a conscious decision, itâ€™s virtually guaranteed youâ€™ll follow through on it.
Self-discipline is one of many personal development tools available to you. Of course it is not a panacea. Nevertheless, the problems which self-discipline can solve are important, and while there are other ways to solve these problems, self-discipline absolutely shreds them. Self-discipline can empower you to overcome any addiction or lose any amount of weight. It can wipe out procrastination, disorder, and ignorance. Within the domain of problems it can solve, self-discipline is simply unmatched. Moreover, it becomes a powerful teammate when combined with other tools like passion, goal-setting, and planning.
