You could be wondering right now, 'Why am I delaying my gratification?' because pleasure is such a powerful sensation. Especially in this era, despite all the nearly perfect techniques that brands, the digital world, and culture employ to manage and control us, I believe this question is relevant...
Should I postpone my pleasure?
Is it possible for me to give up the things I want but have to give up?
How skilled am I at doing things I don't want to do but must?
If you're scared to ask yourself these questions or put off answering them, consider what discipline means to you. The items listed below will make it easier for you.
Here are some indicators of a lack of self-control.
You're feeling sluggish.
You have a proclivity for procrastination.
You're having difficulty meeting deadlines.
You have bad habits including overeating, sleeping too much, spending too much money, and using social media excessively.
Your daily routine becomes monotonous.
You have a proclivity to avoid doing what needs to be done.
You become enraged at how little you've accomplished.
You succeed at a fraction of your potential.
You are often disorganised, even if you know you can do better.
Perhaps most crucially, you keep stating, "I need to realise myself," yet you are instead a bystander to others' self-actualization.
According to research, some people never develop this ability. Although the answer is unknown, the function of genetic effects is also unknown. However, the majority of the signals plainly suggest that the quality of the parents' upbringing is the decisive factor! Culture, child-rearing methods, and educational systems are all key variables in the development of self-discipline at this time.
So, why is self-discipline and delayed gratification so important?
The cornerstones of self-discipline are a sense of value, taking care of oneself, and exercising due caution.
Love is self-discipline! In his book "The Path Less Traveled," Scott Peck describes love as "the resolve of a person to expand one's self in order to assist his or another's spiritual progress." The will is powerful enough to be put into action. Love is a deliberate act.”
How similar does this definition sound to the words "love" and "will" that you use in regular conversation?
The act of will also entails a decision. Self-discipline is a commitment to your own life that you make voluntarily.
While you keep putting off the activities and hobbies that you wish to do... Even as an adult, you fight to not buy the necklace you see on the internet, not to eat the hamburger, and your parents continue to actively blame the environment and society for the schools you can't attend, the departments you can't attend, the jobs you can't do, and the relationships you can't establish;
In other words, can you genuinely say you love yourself when you've entrusted your will to others?
Our desire to delay or regulate our joys as a subject is what will lead us to the state and meaning we truly desire.
volition removes the temporal aspect that acts as a curtain in front of our eyes, preventing us from recognising the cause-and-effect relationship between the circumstance, event, and myself.
Willpower, discipline; the ability to retain self-belief and self-dream on any given day, month, or year, no matter how short or long!
Do you see ways to strengthen your resolve to help yourself and others?
I hope you are able to put your plans into effect...
