Success Book ~ Million Dollar Habits

Excerpt from Million Dollar Habits written by Robert J. Ringer

Part Time Verses Full Time Self-Discipline
There’s a big difference being self-disciplined in a certain situation at a certain time and being a self-disciplined person. Being a self-disciplined person is what the self-discipline habit is all about. Anyone can display self-discipline on occasion, but to get consistently positive results takes consistency. It’s the day-in, day-out practice of self-discipline that determines where you’ll be at the end of the week, a month, a year, or a lifetime. Remember, a lifetime is nothing more than an accumulation of years, months, weeks and days, and what takes place in those smaller increments of time will determine whether or not your life, on a whole, is successful. If you aspire to play in the big leagues, you must be prepared to play every point as though it were match point. In other words, you have to be constantly focused. Dabblers are rarely, if ever, successful. It’s when you focus totally, intensely and consistently on one project – a project that has the potential to yield a worthwhile payoff – that you have the greatest chance for success.
