A CERTAIN man’s garage is attached to his house. It’s a wonderful convenience in inclement weather, but it’s also a terrible temptation because all winter whenever he does not know what to do with something, he puts it in the garage.

  Usually by March he is so ashamed of his garage that he doesn’t want to open it up to the neighborhood.

  By contrast, his neighbor keeps his garage spotlessly clean. He is one of those people who has a place for everything and keeps everything in its place.

  He has hangers for his shovels, hammers, screwdrivers, and rakes.

  He paints his garage floor, and he actually vacuums his driveway.

  About mid-March the contrast finally gets to the first man, and he finally says, “This Saturday I’m going to tackle the garage.”

  He gets up early in the morning, opens the door, tears into it, and by 4:00 in the afternoon, he has thrown half of it away.

  Then he gets all the rest organised, and feels absolutely fulfilled.

  In fact, he leaves his garage door open for three weeks so that everybody in the neighborhood can see how good it looks!

  But within six months, it’s starting to look a little tacky again. Doesn’t that sound familiar?

  Self-discipline is one of those rare qualities because it has to do with pushing yourself without a task master to do now that which is such a drag and a pain – in order to gain the good that will come of it tomorrow!

  Yes, I know that many of us fail lamentably in this particular area! How many times have you said, “Okay, starting today, I will wake up every morning and do that jog round the block!” or “Starting this New Year, I will be saving without fail 10 per cent of all my income!” or “I am going to be giving away a portion of my income to the been there too! needy or to the Lord!” Yeah, I know!

  The difference between the rich and the poor is that the rich learn very early to be self-driven and self-motivated.

  They learn that true riches come from the utilisation of time – a totally free but priceless asset – and effort to create wealth.

  They learn that laziness will never get you anywhere because true wealth is the result of hard work and self-discipline.

  “Instant gratification and the want to eat now is the greatest enemy of the poor”

  I always say this, if you give a poor man $100 dollars, he will go spend it at the local mall or pub, but you give a rich man the same money and he will invest it! Which of these two are you?

  The reason most people do not invest either in themselves through knowledge and information or in opportunities that come their way is because they are caught in the consumerism of the moment.

  “It’s payday! I got’s me some money that needs spending bruh!!!”  

  That is the motto of the simpleton whose entire life is led from one paycheck to the next!

  This is normally gapped by incessant borrowing and groaning about the economy or politics!

  Beware of such living for it will keep you trapped in poverty for life!

  No horse gets anyone anywhere until he’s harnessed, no steam or gas drives anything until it is confined, no Niagara ever turns anything into light or power until it is tunneled, no life ever does great things it is until focused, dedicated, and disciplined.

  That is the true mark of greatness, the ability to take your freedom, your money, and your time and then harness it by focusing totally into one activity and maintaining that activity until you start to see results!

  There is power in being disciplined my friend!

  USA Today polled 238 players who participated in at least one of the

  NCAA Final Four Championship games from 1977 to 1986.

  The survey indicated that an amazing number of these athletes have been able to match their achievement on the basketball court with continued excellence in life. What is their secret?

  The pollsters concluded that those who make it in school “seem able to channel the athletic lessons of discipline and self-sacrifice into their academic lives.”

  It is the same for wealth creation and becoming rich!

  If you have been struggling with money or business and seem to be at your wits end about how to come out of the quagmire and start living your best life today, I have a little positive self-statement that I want you to write out, place by your mirror and begin to speak out each day either in the morning or evening but two things must happen for this to work, you must write it out or print it out and you must speak it out! Come on! Do not let laziness stop you!

  “I did not come this far – nor to this place-alone, but in the presence and power of my God.

  The circumstances of this moment are not greater than my God.

  He knows them better than I do, yet He permits them.

  And He will overcome them-within me if I will allow Him.

  Mine is not to fret as though He does not know, or care, or cannot overcome. Mine is to walk on knowing that He is here.

  I am His by His creation, and His new birth. I am His to do with as He chooses-to bless or to use up, to serve or to simply endure.

  The day belongs to my Lord, and it is the only day I have to serve and glorify Him. And so I shall give all that I have and am that for this one day

  He shall be honored.”

  You are the greatest you there ever has been or there ever shall be!

  Utilise it through self-discipline and bring out that giant that has been latent in you!
