A key difference between successful people leaders and those who struggle to get by, is self-discipline. As Confucius wrote, "The nature of people is always the same; it is their habits that separate them." Successful people have formed the habits of doing those things that most people don't want to do.

Self Discipline Self Control Being Able to Say Yes When You Want To Say No

If discipline is a key to success, most people would rather pick the lock. Delaying gratification is a good example. It's much easier to live in the moment and let tomorrow take care of itself.

Our discipline and habits spring from our passion and commitment. I find that when I have the least amount of self-discipline ! it's often because my heart isn't in it. So to motivate myself, I need to find ways to increase my passion.
Discipline Can Be Habit Forming

Visioning creates passion. The more clear and compelling the vision, the stronger the passion. The stronger the passion, the more likely we are to hang in there during the inevitable downs and defeats as we reach for our dreams. Visioning or picturing my preferred future has been my greatest source of energy and focus

TaeKwonDo Plus Manual

Politeness
"Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in."
Sir Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

The strong reach out and connect with others. They unite, uplift, and improve the world. Those who act kindly ennoble life because they imitate God.

Whenever someone treats you kindly, show your appreciation, express your gratitude, and offer your thanks. For as Seneca taught, "There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it."

Act kindly toward others without expecting anything in return. To act in the expectation of a reward cancels out the kindness.

Treat others with respect. Treating royalty, political leaders, or movie stars with respect is a common occurrence, but treating beggars, the homeless, and ex-cons with respect is the mark of greatness. It is not only the downtrodden that need respect, it is our children, too. If we don t already respect them for what they are, how can we help them become more than they are?
