Will Power and Self-Discipline

By Remez Sasson
Sometimes, you wish to go for a walk, knowing how good it is for your health and how wonderful you feel afterwards, but you feel too lazy, and prefer to watch TV instead. You might be aware of the fact that you need to change your eating habits or stop smoking, but you don't have the inner power and persistence to change these habits.
Does this sound familiar? How many times have you said, "I wish I had will power and self discipline"? How many times have you started to do something, only to quit after a short while? We all have had experiences like these.
Everyone possesses some addictions or habits they wish they could overcome, such as smoking, excessive eating, laziness, procrastination or lack of assertiveness. To overcome these habits or addictions, one needs to have will power and self discipline. They make a great difference in everyone's life, and bring inner strength, self mastery and decisiveness.

Definitions of Will Power and Self Discipline

Will power is the ability to overcome laziness and procrastination. It is the ability to control or reject unnecessary or harmful impulses. It is the ability to arrive at a decision and follow it with perseverance until its successful accomplishment. It is the inner power that overcomes the desire to indulge in unnecessary and useless habits, and the inner strength that overcomes inner emotional and mental resistance for taking action. It is one of the corner stones of success, both spiritual and material.
Self-discipline is the companion of will power. It endows with the stamina to persevere in whatever one does. It bestows the ability to withstand hardships and difficulties, whether physical, emotional or mental. It grants the ability to reject immediate satisfaction, in order to gain something better, but, which requires effort and time.
Everyone has inner, unconscious, or partly conscious impulses, making them say or do things they later regret saying or doing. On many occasions people do not think before they talk or act. By developing these two powers, one becomes conscious of the inner, subconscious impulses, and gains the ability to reject them when they are not for his/her own good.
These two powers help us to choose our behavior and reactions, instead of being ruled by them. Their possession won't make life dull or boring. On the contrary, you will feel more powerful, in charge of yourself and your surroundings, happy and satisfied.
How many times have you felt too weak, lazy or shy to do something you wanted to do? You can gain inner strength, initiative and the ability to make decisions and follow them. Believe me, it is not difficult to develop these two powers. If you are earnest and are willing to become stronger, you will certainly succeed.
In this article, you will find some exercises and techniques for developing these abilities. These simple, but effective exercises, can be performed everywhere and at any time. Go slowly and gradually, and you will see how you get stronger and your life start improving.
There is a misconception in the public mind regarding will power. It is erroneously thought to be something strenuous and difficult, and that one has to exert and tense the body and mind when expressing it. It is a completely wrong concept. This is one of the reasons why people avoid using it, though they are conscious of its benefits. They acknowledge the fact that the employment of will power in their life and affairs will greatly help them, and that they need to strengthen it, yet they do nothing about it.
Will power gets stronger by holding back and not allowing the expression of unimportant, unnecessary and unhealthy thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions. If this saved energy is not allowed expression, it is stored inside you like a battery, and it becomes available at the time of need. By practicing appropriate exercises, you develop your powers the same way, as a person who trains his/her muscles in order to strengthen them.

Developing Will Power and Self Discipline

An effective method for developing and improving these abilities is to perform certain actions or activities, which you would rather avoid doing due to laziness, procrastination, weakness, shyness, etc. Doing things that you usually do not like to do. or feel too lazy to do, you overcome your subconscious resistance, train your mind to obey you, strengthen your inner powers and gain inner strength. Muscles get stronger by resisting the power of the barbells. Inner strength is attained by overcoming inner resistance.
Remember, strengthening one of these abilities, automatically strengthens the other one.

Here are a few exercises:

1) You are sitting in a bus or train and an old man or woman, or a pregnant lady walks in. Stand up and give up your seat, even if you prefer to stay seated. Act so, not just because it is polite, but because you are doing something that you are reluctant to do. This is an exercise in overcoming the resistance of your body, mind and feelings.

2) There are dishes in the sink that need washing, and you postpone washing them for later. Get up and wash them now. Do not let your laziness overcome you. When you know that in this way you are developing your will power, and if you are convinced of the importance of will power in your life, it will be easier for you to do whatever you have to do.
3) You come home tired from work and sit in front of the T.V., because you feel too lazy and too tired to take a shower first. Do not succumb to the desire to sit in front of the T.V, and go and take a shower.
4) You may know your body needs some physical exercise, but instead you keep on sitting doing nothing or watching a movie. Get up and walk, run or do some other physical exercise.
5) Do you like your coffee with sugar? If you do, then for one whole week drink it without sugar. Do you drink three cups of coffee each day? If you do, then drink only two cups a day for one whole week.
6) Sometimes, when you want to say something that is not important, decide not to say it.
7) Don't read some unimportant gossip in the newspaper, even if you want to.
8) You have a desire to eat something not too healthy. For the sake of the exercise refuse the desire.
9) If you find yourself thinking unimportant, unnecessary, negative thoughts, try to develop a lack of interest in them, by thinking about their futility and uselessness.
10) Overcome your laziness. Convince yourself of the importance of what is to be done. Convince your mind that you gain inner strength when you act and do things, in spite of laziness, reluctance or senseless inner resistance.
Never say that you cannot follow the above exercises, because you certainly can. Be persistent no matter what. Motivate yourself by thinking about of the importance of performing the exercises, and the inner power and strength you will gain.
Trying to attempt too many exercises when you are still a beginner, might end in disappointment. It is better to start with a few easy exercises at first, and then gradually increase their number and move to the more difficult exercises.
Most of these exercises can be practiced anywhere and at anytime, and you don't have to devote special times for them. They will train and develop your inner strength, enabling you to use it whenever you need it.
If you practice weight lifting, running or aerobics, you strengthen your muscles, so that when you need to move or carry something heavy, for example, you have the strength for it. By studying French each day, you will be able to speak French when you travel to France. It is the same with will power and self-discipline; by strengthening them, they become available for your use whenever you need them.
If for the sake of an exercise, you stop doing something that you usually do, and overcome the inner resistance concerning it, you may resume doing it, if it is not harmful. For example, if you love drinking orange juice, and for the sake of an exercise you switch to drinking apple juice, after doing so for some time, and after it makes no great difference to you, you may go back to drinking orange juice, if you still like it. The point here is to develop inner strength, not making life difficult for you or continue doing things you don't like to do.

Benefits of Possessing Strong Will Power and Self Discipline

You need these skills to control your thoughts, improve your concentration, and to become the boss of your mind. The stronger these skills are, the more inner strength you possess.
Being the master of your mind you enjoy inner peace and happiness. External events do not sway you, and circumstances have no power over your peace of mind. This might sound too unreal for you, but experience will prove to you that all the above is true.
These skills are vital for achieving success. They give you more control over your life, help you change and improve habits, and are essential for self improvement, spiritual growth and meditation.
Practice the exercises presented here earnestly and persistently, and your life will start changing.
self-control, overcome laziness and procrastination, and become more decisive and assertive, you need to read the book "Willpower and Self Discipline".

You will find in this book full guidance and instructions to help you attain inner mastery and inner power. You will also find a lot of practical information, advice and powerful exercises that you can practice at any time you want and at any place.

PREPARING FOR OPPORTUNITIES

Ready, fire, aim…today’s top executives know that they have to prepare for opportunity before it arrives. QS TopExecutive editor, Dawn Bournand, takes a look at the key to moving your career forward and getting it on the fast track.

Turn on the television set, surf over to your favourite online news channel or pick up the local newspaper and you are bound to read or hear about the doom and gloom of the economy and the continuing financial chaos that goes along with it. What would happen though if you decided to tune all of that noise out and focus on what is going right? How would it change your career if you decided to look at life as an endless flow of opportunities coming your way? Once you realize that preparing for that next door to open is your best bet, how do you go about doing it? How do you prepare for opportunity before it even knocks?

For many successful professionals today, the first big step they take into that unknown realm of possibility is signing up for an Executive MBA. This is one action that shows your superiors, your colleagues and even your friends that you are optimistic enough about your future to invest both your time and money into preparing for what is ahead. According to Bernie Zanck, Director of Recruitment and Admissions at the Chicago Booth Executive MBA program, “Our approach to business education prepares our students for all possibilities. Graduates leave equipped with a mastery of business fundamentals and a global network of friends and colleagues. They emerge with a new way of interpreting the world now and beyond, transforming how they think, how they network and how they impact.”

Have a plan
Setting yourself up for professional success isn’t something that happens overnight. Most high-level executives will tell you they took the time to plan out their path. Sure, they may have gotten a lucky break or two along the way but as Louis Pasteur said, “Chance favours the prepared mind”. Joan Coonrod, Assistant Dean of Executive MBA admissions and marketing at Emory University’s, Goizueta Business School agrees, “You must prepare yourself for a life-long career, and build career resilience into your planning. It’s not just about moving up-it’s about moving laterally when necessary and building a wide enough “base of value” to make you more marketable. You need to be able to navigate the uncertainty that has become a contestant in high level careers.”

Establishing the roadmap to where you want to go and then taking small steps in that direction on a daily basis is essential for creating opportunities. As Francis Petit, Associate Dean for Executive MBA Programs at Fordham University, Graduate School of Business Administration sees it, “I strongly believe that individuals do not spend enough time planning for their future. We live in a "wired" world in which all of our stakeholders want instant responses and gratification. Everything in our lives has moved into the "priority pile". However, planning takes not only time to strategize but also time to reflect. If only individuals spent a few minutes a day thinking about their goals and also thinking on what they have done today to move closer to those goals. If that were to happen, I think many individuals would have more achievements in their lives.”

Opportunity disguised as change
Best made plans can sometimes be thrown off course by the winds of change though. What is the best way to deal with sudden, unexpected and seemingly unwelcomed circumstances? According to Hannelore Forssbohm, Senior Program Manager of the Kellogg-WHU Executive MBA program, “Opportunities are a matter of attitude: it could be change that may not initially be perceived positive (e.g. reorganization within a company); discovering, developing and implementing a new business idea; changing your line of work or personal interest. These all are “opportunities” in one way or another; a chance to make a change, for the better, for oneself, the company or, in some cases, the world. Being ready and courageous enough to absorb and act in a new situation is one way that an Executive MBA can help to prepare today’s managers to be in a position to face and manage whatever comes their way.”

Even when change comes in the form of a crisis, favorable outcomes can still occur. As Dean Coonrod points out, “In 2001, it was the tech/telecom bust – over half a million jobs in those sectors gone. In 2008-09, it was real estate and financial services sectors that shed jobs. Preparing for opportunities means being able to move to where the opportunities are regardless of your current industry expertise.”

The aftermath of a crisis can be a bit like a forest after a sweeping fire, new growth will begin. Stephen Adamson, Associate Director of Admissions, for IE Business School’s International Executive MBA suggests that “Preparing for opportunities in this context means being ready to take advantage of the burst of hiring and growth which will occur as the crisis eases. As has always occurred, a huge number of corporate and entrepreneurial opportunities will be created and deciding to take an EMBA once things improve may be too late.”

Broaden your horizons
Perhaps the real question then is where to look for these opportunities that are sure to show up. Maria Puig, Executive Director of the IESE Global Executive MBA believes that, “In our time, many business opportunities are appearing at a global scale. Our Global Executive MBA Program helps you develop your global mindset and acquire the additional skills needed to succeed in today's increasingly globalized and competitive business. Our participants say that they feel better equipped to identify business opportunities and to take the necessary decisions to make these opportunities valuable for them.”

As you see these opportunities appearing, you may find that your current skills will not be enough to take you to where your next possible steps lie. Cristèle Fernand Admissions Director at the EMLYON Business School believes that “developing new skills (both technical and behavioural), enlarging your network and being able to think out of the box” are essential components of broadening your career path. Not so coincidentally, these three elements are all benefits of participating in an Executive MBA program.

Though traditionally created to help executives get the necessary training to work better and smarter in their current positions, today’s EMBA also focuses on preparing participants for the constantly changing landscape of modern business. Dean Petit adds that “the EMBA is a great vehicle for careers beyond management in the Fortune 500. It allows you to think differently about creating, delivering and sustaining value within any industry. Such a mindset can be very powerful.” And very valuable when considering what else is possible.

Invest in yourself
It comes down to thinking about your future and how you can best invest in it. Director Zanck affirms “the Executive MBA is a transformative experience and an investment in the future of one of your organisation’s greatest assets – you. Investing in your education will prepare you to become a more effective leader and equip you to analyze and solve complex business challenges because you’ve been taught to approach them.”

Beate Baldwin, Program Director for the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA, agrees “[pursuing an EMBA] means taking an active part in your career as well as in your personal development.” She also advises to take full advantage of the EMBA networking opportunities. “Conferences with alumni associations, courses with academics and business leaders, social events with Executive MBA tracks at partner schools, leadership courses, and individual and group coaching sessions, all help our participants to get to more self and social awareness and to grow personally.”

In the end, an Executive MBA is the ultimate prep course for opportunity. Perhaps Dean Petit sums it up best when he says, “Students will learn just as much if not more on how to survive and excel in "the process" in addition to the content of a program. Surviving the process is a learning experience in and of itself. Learning how to take on these risks will allow candidates to grow and be ready for future professional challenges and opportunities. Behind every great success story in business usually lies a big initial risk. Imagine if the founders of Facebook or Starbucks or Cirque de Soleil weren't brave enough to take the risks? That is what it is all about!”
