Sports Worx Daily

I was listening to a speech the other day in which the topic was the role that discipline plays in goal-setting. One of the main characteristics of self-discipline is the ability to forgo instant and immediate gratification and pleasure, in favor of some greater gain or more satisfying results. Self discipline gives you the ability to stick to your decisions and follow them through, without changing your mind, and is therefore one of the important requirements for achieving goals. Contrary to common belief, self-discipline is not a severe and limited behavior or a restrictive lifestyle. It is a very useful inner power, which enables one to persevere and not give up, in spite of failure and setbacks. It gives us self control, and the ability to resist temptations and distractions that tend to stand in the way of attaining aims and goals. Discipline is one of the most important pillars of real and stable success.

The importance of discipline has been a topic of many studies and dissertations for thousands of years. As Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, (563-483 B.C.) said: “Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.”

This is the basis of the SportsWorx philosophy.
