The words determinant and discipline can be defined as:
· Determinant: a factor that causes or influences something to happen in a particular way
· Discipline: to instruct or educate; to inform; to prepare by instructing in correct principles or habits
A “Determinant Discipline” causes or influences something as a result of preparation in correct principles or habits. The Determinant Disciplines in your life become the rungs in your ladder of success.
Author Jim Rohn said, “There are two gigantic pains in life: the pain of Discipline and the pain of Regret. One weighs in ounces, the other weighs in tons.” The biggest regrets in life are not because of what we have done, but what we weren’t willing to do. Successful people recognize that the short-term pain of discipline must be embraced to achieve the desired change or growth. Otherwise, the long-term pain of regret will be the reward. Just as the pearl needs the sand to reveal its beauty, we need short-term discipline to reveal true long term success.
So, don’t wait for someone to tell you that you need to live up to your potential. No one knows your potential like you do. Elevate your determinant disciplines, as they become the rungs in your ladder of success!
