absorbing to some human beings that they never
pause long enough to think about tomorrow.
But what if we did develop a new discipline to
take just a few minutes every day to look a
little further down the road? We would then be
able to foresee the impending consequences of
our current conduct. Armed with that valuable
information, we would be able to take the
necessary action to change our errors into new
success- oriented disciplines. In other words,
by disciplining ourselves to see the future in
advance, we would be able to change our
thinking, amend our errors and develop new
habits to replace the old.
One of the exciting things about the formula
for success- A few simple disciplines
practiced every day - is that the results are
almost immediate. As we voluntarily change
daily errors into daily disciplines, we
experience positive results in a very short
period of time. When we change our diet, our
health improves noticeably in just a few
weeks. When we start exercising, we feel a new
vitality almost immediately. When we begin
reading, we experience a growing awareness and
a new level of self-confidence. Whatever new
discipline we begin to practice daily will
produce exciting results that will drive us to
become even better at developing new
disciplines.
The real magic of new disciplines is that they
will cause us to amend our thinking. If we
were to start today to read the books, keep a
