Discipline + Persistence = Accomplishment!

-

There is an equation in life that, simple as it may seem, is often underestimated, forgotten, or even unknown by many.

It consists of two key elements plus a fundamental operation, the result of which is the basis for the path to success: Discipline + Persistence = Accomplishment.

Discipline

Discipline is the first element of this equation. However, it is not that military discipline, rigid and inflexible, but an intrinsic, internal, self-determined discipline.

She’s the one who makes us wake up early every day for work, even when the bed seems much cozier. She is the one who leads us to choose healthy food over fast food, even when the hamburger looks much more delicious.

It is the discipline that keeps us studying, even when television or social networks try to seduce us with passing entertainment.

Persistence

The second element is persistence, the resistant sister of discipline. If discipline is the engine that puts us in motion, persistence is the fuel that keeps that engine running.

It keeps us running, even when we’re exhausted. To keep fighting, even when the odds seem against us. She makes us keep believing, even when others doubt our ability.

The fundamental operation that unites these two elements is the simple “more”. It’s not a multiplication or a division, which could complicate the equation. It’s just a simple “more”.

This means that discipline and persistence need to be present simultaneously. There is no point in having discipline without persistence, just as there is no point in having persistence without discipline. One without the other is like a car without wheels or a boat without oars.

Realization

Finally, achievement is the end result of this equation. But what is achievement? That’s what it feels like to accomplish something you set out to do. It is the satisfaction of achieving a goal, of overcoming a challenge, of overcoming an obstacle.

It’s the joy of seeing a dream come true, a project come true, an idea materialize. But most of all, she is proof that discipline and persistence really work.

This equation, although simple, requires hard work, dedication and, above all, time to show results. It’s not an equation that can be solved in a day, a week or even a month. It must be resolved throughout life.

So, the next time you feel tempted to give up, abandon a dream or discredit yourself, don’t forget this equation.

Remember that discipline and persistence, when combined, can lead to achievement. And even if the journey is difficult, the end result will always be rewarding.
