No Excuses: The Power Of Self Discipline By Brian Tracy

This book was first published in 2010 by Brian Tracy. This is one of the best books by the author I have read till now. Not only for me, but people worldwide also gave this book an excellent review. One of the best things I’ve learned from this book is we do not need the motivation to do something; we need self-discipline.

I think the word motivation is now an overrated word. Self-discipline is more important than motivation. If you don’t believe me, look at the most successful people worldwide. Do they need the motivation to do what they used to do? They were internally motivated and highly disciplined to do the important things.

And they are still doing it. We have to stop looking for external sources of motivation. We should be focusing more on self-discipline. Here in the following, I’m giving some key takeaways from the book,

Our Eliminating Excuses

We have to stop giving excuses to ourselves. We all want to be successful in life, and we want to get the dream, a job, get the dream car, get in shape, and all of the stuff; we can do that. We know we need to go to the gym or give time to walk if we want the physique and health we want. But somehow, we can not consistently do it.

We find excuses, and everyone is busy in the world. Still, people manage their time for things they need to do. And you can also manage time for things you need to do when you can eliminate excuses.

Learn Self Discipline

This is the most important thing that was discussed in the book. This book is all about the importance of self-discipline. And how you can also achieve the highest success in life by practicing self-discipline daily. Self-discipline is what you should do, whether you want to do it or not. One of the best lines from the book is.

The unsuccessful people hate the same things that the successful people hate to do, but still successful can do it, whether they want it. Do not be overwhelmed by the word motivation. You do not use motivation as your driving power. You should be driven by yourself.

If you get used to any external source of motivation as your driving power, you may lose the power within yourself. We don’t need external sources to push and motivate us to do something. Don’t think me wrong; motivation is important. But self-discipline is way more important than motivation.

And we do not value self-discipline the way we value motivation. What you need is already within yourself. You need to understand the importance of a task and then have to be disciplined and do it consistently whether you feel it to do it or not. And you through away all the distraction that comes your way.

That’s what self-discipline is. You will find more in the book. Successful people often don’t wanna do the thing they know they should do, but they do it anyway, whether they feel to do it or not.

Focus On Long Term

Unsuccessful people do things that are tension-relieving, and successful people do things that are goal-achieving. That says the book. We often get stuck in things that give us short-term relief. And we don’t want to do something that does not reward us instantly.

This is a huge problem that needs to be fixed. In today’s world, If you want to achieve something bigger in the future, you have to focus on things that do not give you instant rewards but can be so valuable later.

We grow the habits of so many harmful things easily. And the habit makes what we are. One of the best lines I learned from the book is,

Bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with; good habits are hard to form but easy to live with.

Everything is hard before it’s easy. This book teaches us to focus on long-term goal-achieving tasks that we must do. Whether we feel like doing it or not. And the habit grows slowly; we have to continue with self-discipline.

This book also teaches us the value of integrity. We should not be fake. Our personal life and public should be the same. We have to be genuine to achieve bigger success in life.
