"Dreams get you started; discipline keeps you going."American Author / Motivational Speaker
1930 - 2009
We all have dreams and most of us never act on our dreams. We find excuses and reasons why we can't do something. We focus on all the obstacles we see in front of us. Dreams may inspire us to act for a day or two, but it takes discipline to keep writing and painting. And this goes for successful writers and painters as well as beginners. I have read stories of successful writers and painters who stop working. The first book or two made them a celebrity and they never finish the next book. They get caught up in the celebrity of being a writer. Being a creative leader requires discipline to sit down at the computer, to stand at that easel, or to sit at the piano.
Do you have the discipline to accomplish your dreams? Do you rise before everyone in your family so that you can spend an hour or two working on your art? Or do you stay up after everyone else has gone to bed? Do you do what many others only dream about? Discipline is key to your success.
