[Essay 14] Self-descipline

Okay so, let me project how to develop my life for the better, financially and... yes financially especially. I can't come up with anything else at this point, as I'm kind of struggling with it. Considering my age, even though I'm aware of that there are many who are burdened with debt at my age, which could be worse than my bank account, still I feel I need to earn like someone who can afford a good house, a good car, and even a good present for friends and family. On top of that, what should I do? What is the best strategy to make money at least 3x more than now? Since yawning and complaining on my current mediocre lifestyle doesn't make any change, prior to listing up about that, I need to keep in mind first --- Self-descipline. A must-do list.


1. Waking up

If I want to sleep more in the morning, it would mean that I should've slept earlier last night. I'm not a short sleeper and don't think it's healthy as well. 7 to 8 hours will be perfect for the most. There's no good in sticking to a bed all day. Wake up and take a shower too. Showering makes you feel much better in a way that you never expect or intend. Starting off with that results in pretty much positive end of the day. Give it a shot, even just for a day, then I'm confident that you will feel much fresher and more successful to some degree.


2. Planning

Listing a daily task is a vital key to stay on the right track toward your ultimate goal, as it envisions what I should do to feel achievement day by day. Imagine what kind of person you want to be. People who are often so called the great repeat that planning for a year, a month and a day is the point where they kick off every single morning. By doing so, not only does it organize your day, but makes a visualization more vivid, which can energize and excite yourself to be obsessed to take an action no matter what situation you're facing. 


3. Practicing

No one achieves a goal without practicing. Everyone, even including masters in a specific industry, needs to practice to maintain their professional ability and individual objectives. For example, authors are supposed to write, music producers to create, painters to draw, etc. All the individuals have their own specialty and that is what they want to grow and tend because it's likely to be what you do for a living. Without finding out a specialty to practice, I believe I would be nothing more than mediocre. 


4. Repeating

Putting myself into the repeated circuit is the hardest, because human nature easily can get sick of repetition. That's the deviding point, seperating people into two kinds of life. One who consistently keeps sustaining the productive lifestyle goes directly to their goals, and another fails at that point and goes back to "normal". We can't blame anyone living in the comfort zone, as all individuals have different perspectives on their own. I'm just not that kind of person and do want to live in an affordable life by working hard. That's why I always try to keep in mind that...


My emotion can't cross my mind.
