Today’s Motivation PAY NOW OR PAY LATER

PAY NOW OR PAY LATER

Great achievement blossoms from constant self-discipline.
With two choices in life it’s easy to take the path of least
resistance and live an effortless life, free from self-discipline,
or you can choose to pay the price for success. 

The “easy” life is the less demanding choice. Rewards are
immediate and it is the quickest route to a life of mediocrity.
If you don’t do much, nothing much gets done. So, head for
the lake, sit in front of the TV every night, don’t read a book
or write a business plan. Easy.

A life of self-discipline starts early every day, isn’t always fun
and requires self-control and will. Sometime you must choose
to do the unpleasant things. It isn’t always fun, but you accomp-
lish something, you make something happen in your life.

The late Jim Rohn spoke about the pain of discipline versus
the pain of regret. Either way, he said, you pay the price. You
can choose to pay the price of discipline now, today, and every
day. Or you can choose to pay later with the price of regret. He
pointed out that the price of self-discipline is pennies and the
price of regret is a fortune.

Just imagine the depth of pain you would feel when you realize
it's too late, that you no longer have the energy or the oppor-
tunity to make something of yourself. Wouldn't you rather pay
the small price of self-discipline now, and look back at a life of
accomplishment?

As Jim Rohn said, you can choose to go to the beach today, or
you can work today, and tomorrow, and the next day, and
eventually own the beach.
