I have been a rebel for a multitude of reasons developed from bad experiences mostly childhood, another reason I choose to let go of. How long will I allow other peoples actions dictate my outcome? Enough, It is truly up to me to stop surrendering the control of my life. I am no longer a child, but the repeated cycle will continue only as long as I will allow. Making myself accountable, starting with goals, breaking it down, then setting a schedule to walk through the steps to fulfill my dream, reach my goal, this I understand, yet I'm still disabled that I have a lack of discipline. I must develop discipline in my life, I have never desired disciplne, but avoided it and very creatively at that. Anyone have suggestions or tips in achieving the next crucial step, how to build discipline into an undisciplined life?

I had to develop the discipline of going to the gym every day when I started my diet. I forced myself to go when it opened at 5:00 AM each day, which was great since I never even really woke up until about halfway through my workout ;-) Before I realized it, I was almost done. After losing almost all the weight I wanted (around 70 pounds so far), I'm at a steady four days a week, and if I get off track, I feel the same way I do if I haven't brushed my teeth yet. So I quickly get back in sync. Also, I made it a game to get those last few reps in, even though I feel like I may not. Making it a game distracts my discomfort for the very short period it takes to get over the hump. I can relate when it comes to exercise.

I can really relate to the roller coaster motivation part. I love the feeling of starting a new product but rarely have the drive to see it through to the end, which is one of my biggest problems. Lot's of food for though in this article. This is good article Scott. I can really relate to the roller coaster motivation part.
