Get Tough With Yourself (Part 3)

Ephesians 5:15-16 says: "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."

Our quote for today is from Vishwas Chavan. He said: "If every citizen can get rid of the indiscipline syndrome, we have immense potential to build more productive, conflict-free, harmonious and peaceful communities, societies, cities, nations and world."

Today, in the Get Things Done podcast we are looking at Part 3 of Step 6: "Get Tough With Yourself".

Q: You recommend doing difficult things not just for the intrinsic benefit involved, but because they provide practice in self-discipline?

Correct. Each time you perform a difficult act -- or resist a temptation -- you make it easier to do so in the future. In the words of Hamlet,

Refrain tonight,
And that shall lend a kind of easiness
To the next abstinence; the next more easy;
For use can almost change the stamp of nature…

Q: So you would compare willpower to a muscle, which grows either stronger or weaker, depending upon whether or not it’s used?

Yes. The human mind, like the human body has an incredible ability to adjust to the demands made on it, and when the demands are steady, regular, and consistent, the result is growth, power, and greater ease of performance. In exercising your will you establish a mental “groove” -- a habit pattern -- that is deepened with each repetition, but which will gradually fade with lack of use.
