YOUR TWO WORST ENEMIES
Just as self discipline is the key to success, the lack of self discipline is the major cause of failure, frustration, underachievement, and unhappiness in life. It cause us to make excuses and sell ourselves short.
Perhaps the two biggest enemies of success, happiness and personal fulfillment, are first the path of least resistance and, second, the Expediency factor.
The path of least resistance are what cause people to take the easy way in almost every situation. They seek shortcuts to every situation.
They arrived at work at the last minute and leave at the first opportunity.
They look for get rich quick schemes and easy money. Over time, they develop the habit of always seeking an easier way to get the things they want rather than doing what is hard but necessary to achieve real success.
The Expediency factor, which is an extension of the law of least resistance, is even worse when leading people to failure and underachievement.
This principle says, People invariable seek the fastest and easiest way to get the things they want, right now, with little or no concern for the long-term consequence of their behaviors.
Most people do what is expedient, what is fun and easy rather than what is necessary for success. Every day, and every minute of every day, there is a battle going on inside of you between doing what is right, hard, and necessary.
You most fight and win this battle with the expediency factor and resist the pull of the path of least Resistance if you truly desire to become everything you are capable of becoming.
