Self-Discipline / Master Your Mindset.

99% of people are not willing to do, what it takes to make their dreams come true. The Marines have a saying, “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.” The centre of bringing any dream into fruition is self discipline but every day we are choosing stuff that’s not in our own best interest. So, if the world’s attacking you and the world wants to fight you and the world’s trying to hold you down so, will you stop yourself from getting what you dream? 

I think the word “discipline” has kind of gotten a bad name. We think about it in terms of punishment. I’m not talking about discipline in that way. I’m talking about discipline in the sense that you forego immediate pleasure for the change of long-term self-respect. I believe that self-discipline is the definition of self-love that when you say you love yourself, it means that you have behaviour towards yourself that is loving. Self-discipline is the centre of all material success. You cannot win the war against the world if you can’t win the war against your own mind. If you wanna be happy you have to love yourself which means you have to discipline your behaviour. The road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behaviour. 

We tend to base our self-esteem on what other people think and that’s not really self-esteem. Self-esteem is how we supposed to be how we feel about ourselves and I was just saying how dangerous it is to allow other people to determine how you’re going to feel about you and it’s kind of like looking into a broken mirror. You’re gonna look in a broken mirror and then change your face to try to look good in this defiled, busted broken mirror and it just other people’s opinions. There’s a really crappy way to determine how we feel about ourselves. It don’t matter whose fault is that something is broken if it’s your responsibility to fix it. For example, it’s not somebody’s fault if their father was an abusive or alcoholic but it’s for damn sure their responsibility to figure out how they’re gonna do with those traumas and try to make a life out of it. Fault and responsibility do not go together. It sucks, but they don’t. If something is somebody’s fault we want them to suffer, we want them punished, we want them to be their responsibility to fix it but that’s not how it works. Your life, your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone. As long as we’re pointing the finger and stuck in whose fault, we’re jammed and trapped into victim mode. When you’re in victim mode you’re stuck in suffering. The road to power is in taking responsibility. Your heart, your life, your happiness is your responsibility alone. 

The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel who have dreams that want to do things. Talents you have naturally while skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft. For instance, You don’t try to build a wall, you don’t say, “I’ve build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.” You don’t start there. You must say, “I’m gonna lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. There will not be one brick on the face of the earth that’s gonna be laid better than this brick that I’m gonna lay in this next 10 minutes.” And you do that every single day, soon you have a wall.

Try to avoid distractions when you begin to develop your self-discipline. Make it harder to engage in the activity you're trying to avoid. For instance, if you need self-discipline to focus on work instead of looking at social media, then use internet blockers such as Anti-social so that social networking sites aren't available to you at the office.


It's important to develop self-discipline in life. Self-discipline is what enables us to do high-quality work, even when we're tired. It keeps us pursuing our goals through tough times, and it helps us to stay professional, even when we're not feeling great. Self-discipline is an essential quality, and it's a key differentiator between people who are successful in life and those who aren't. Make sure that you develop it!

Most Common Etiquette Mistakes.

Etiquette isn’t something that just evaporated from society over time. Even though we do much of our communicating online, it’s still necessary to practice good manners when attending parties or having in-person chats. It may sound old-fashioned, but you still need to know your manners out of respect for the people around you. If you’re a little rusty on proper etiquette (like most of us are), here’s a little refresher. You probably didn’t know that you were breaking these essential etiquette rules!   Welcome to - Live Bold And Bloom With Ishika. 1. You Avoid Eye Contact While Talking - When you chat with others, do you find your eyes wandering? You look at what’s going on in the background, rather than looking at your conversation partner’s face. Even if you’re actually listening to what they have to say, not making eye contact gives off the impression that you’re not. You don’t need to stare into the person’s eyes creepily—intermittent glances make for a more comfortable conversa...
