ROUTINE SETS YOU FREE

“Your ability to discipline yourself

To set clear goals

And then to work

Towards them every day,

Will do more

to guarantee your

success than any other

single factor.”

I wonder why people think that a disciplined life means, you cannot enjoy life. In fact, you start smiling only when you have a routine, because, there is no confusion or missing out on anything important. We don’t get stressed as there is nothing that has to be done in the last minute. Everything is well planned. In fact, you feel that you have more time at your disposal. There is also a sense of satisfaction when you complete each of the work you planned to do.

I know what I have gone through in my childhood, when I was not at all disciplined. Life was more pleasure driven. The result of living such a life gave me no returns, in terms of success. When I realized how I had messed up my life by not having a routine, I decided that I will not waste my time.

From then on, life has been an upward spiral. Contrary to what people believe, routine does not imprison you to a scheduled life, rather it sets you free. I started enjoying the benefits of having a schedule, devoting my time to my studies. Success came my way for the first time. I started feeling confident and even began to look up to myself. What a privileged life!

Mahatria says, “The best way to tell the world to shut up is to produce results.” This can be achieved only if we have a routine in our life that will provide us a route.

I started producing results. When we produce results, the feeling is so good. This is what motivates us to keep achieving. We need to give ourselves an opportunity to experience at least a small victory. This will be the beginning for us to be consistently motivated in life. At least, in my case, living a disciplined life gave me time to do everything. The quality of life changed dramatically. This itself is a motivation to stick to a routine.

Ask a Djokovic, or a Mukesh Ambani or a Rohit Sharma or an Elon Musk, what they do with their time. Their success comes from not only their intelligence, but the way they use their time to achieve their goal. Read about them to know how a disciplined routine can transform your life.

                                    “Time is what we want most

                                     But what we use worst.”

Time is the greatest resource. How much we gain if we have a daily routine! We can achieve so much more in life. Be conscious about time wasters and time stealers that do not contribute to our future. My day is used for my mental, intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Nothing like a planned day. We will do what is important and necessary. We will be productive. That is what differentiates a high achiever from a non-performer,  who underutilizes their time without a planned routine.

                                      “The secret of your

                                       future is hidden in

                                       your daily routine,”
