How you build your life depends upon what you intend to do
with it. Your success,
achievement, happiness, goals and dreams
should arise from your intrinsic abilities, not from others or
from your belief in fate, unless you want to handover the
control of your life to them and place more trust and confidence
in them than in yourself. If you start early in your life, with
definite aims and goals, cultivating certain prerequisites, you
have a better chance of achieving success and prosperity early
in your life, when you are physically and mentally fit enough to
make the best use of them and bear the pressures they create.
The following requirements for success, referred here as the
building blocks of life, are timeless. They are required by
everyone, irrespective of age, place and gender, who wants, to
be successful and distinguished. If you have opened your eyes to
the possibilities of success rather late in your life, you may
have to work a little harder and longer. It does not mean that
you cannot achieve success late in life or that you cannot enjoy
it, but that many doors begin to close upon us, as we grow
older. However, if you are determined and adaptable, age is
hardly a matter of concern.
DISCIPLINE
Discipline does not mean that you have to wake up early in
the morning, do meditation and then stick to some daily routine.
Many successful people are in fact disciplined this way, with a
rigid daily program of their own, such as waking up early, doing
some exercises, eating certain types of food at specific times
and focusing on the demands of their occupation.
However, there are also some successful people, who wake up
late, but manage to live well and achieve success in their
professions.
Your sleeping habits depend upon whether you are a late night
person or an early morning person. Discipline has nothing to do
with it, unless you want to force your body to break its
biological rhythm or reset its biological clock.
