The Chuck Norris Story
If you’re like most people, you hope to achieve success in your life. It would seem strange, to say the least, to hear someone wish for his plans and dreams to end in failure! So, what does it take to be truly successful? Ask a dozen different people that question, and you’ll probably get at least thirteen different answers!
But through it all, you’ll find there is a simple basic character trait that must be present! If it is missing, then all else fails. That very special, absolutely necessary key to success is…self-discipline.
Our lives are full of disciplines from without—parents, schools, jobs, government, even nature provides it. Unfortunately, a lot of people resent those kinds of disciplines. So then, it’s important to understand this: If you discipline yourself, others won’t have to!
Take control, and remember that developing a sense of self-discipline will provide the basis on which to truly build success.
