Master The Small Disciplines

Are you mastering the small disciplines in your business and life? It is the small disciplines that lead to great accomplishments.

Success is about accumulation. The accumulation of many small disciplines performed well leads to great accomplishment.

The next time you let something go that needs to be done with the attitude that “it really doesn’t matter,” remember this.

Accumulating many small examples of a lack of discipline leads to failure. Failure, like success, is also an accumulation. Failure is the accumulation of many small errors in judgment repeated every day over a period of time.

Why is this important? It is the sum total of our past decisions that lead us to our current circumstances.

Master the small disciplines. They show us the correct way to step into success and the good life!

Failure

What is failure? It is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day. They get repeated because people don’t think it matters.

When you hear about a business closing down it appears to be one big event. It is a big event for that day but the reality is that what caused it to close down had been going on for a long time. Just look at Montgomery Ward or Steak and Ale as examples of errors in judgment that were repeated every day over a period of time. They failed for years before it became official.


You may ask, “How come failure is not recognized sooner?” That’s a good question. Failure is not as obvious as it may seem. It can be like the fog that creeps in on little cat feet. What worked for years in a company may gradually not work as well. But people hold onto the hope that the old ways will work. Then, all of a sudden like the fog, you are in the middle of it and can see no way out.

The fact is that we are resistant to change. The first step to failure is in our thinking. We refuse to change the way we see things. We get comfortable with the status quo and how things were in the past and hope that somehow things will work out.

But, they never do, if we don’t change. Why? Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.

And there is only one way to lessen the likelihood of failure and increase the odds of success. We must not only embrace change. Even better we must be the change. With a strong personal philosophy in favor of change we increase the odds of success and weaken the grip of failure.

Peer Pressure-A Powerful Force

Peer pressure….much is said about it but what makes it so powerful. Very often we think of peer pressure as being around people who would like us to do things as they would do, even when it is not part of who we are.

Peer pressure more often than not is not direct. It is an especially powerful force because it is subtle.

If you're around people who believe that it is good to spend all you make, then you have increased the odds exponentially that you will spend all you make. If you are around people who go to more parties than concerts, the chances are excellent that you'll do the same thing. And, if you are around people who don't read, chances are excellent that you won't read.

Yes, peer pressure is subtle. It’s like the fog, as poet Robert Frost once said that, “creeps in on little cat feet.” Suddenly it has enveloped you and you lose your perspective. You cannot see things clearly.

Understanding the power of peer pressure is essential to lead a good life. People, many with good intentions can keep nudging us off course a little at a time until finally, we find ourselves asking, "What happened?" or “How did I arrive at these circumstances?”

Be aware of the subtle influences of peer pressure. Be a keen observer and when you are your life is much more likely to turn out the way you planned.

On what course is peer pressure taking you?
