How many of you are used to completing tasks? How many of you are not? How many of you have been given a school assignment and halfway through decided you didn't like the subject, it was too difficult, something else in your life was more important at the time or you didn't like the teacher?
Follow through on things is an important part of growing up and enables us to achieve some sort of success in life. That's one reason we're in school to, hopefully, learn something of importance, along with structure and discipline.
If you can get away with not completing a basic school assignment, what makes you think you're equipped to handle a marriage, a job or complete basic training?
How does one achieve this discipline? In the majority of cases we start off on the wrong foot because we're stubborn; --"nobody's gonna make me do this", etc., or we're too intimidated to ask what we perceive may be a stupid question. There are a variety of reasons.
The good part is when someone comes along and points this out to us, letting us know we're on the wrong path and that this inability to follow through on things will adversely affect us later on in life.
Now we've been alerted to something that is hindering our life path and our growth.
But the longer we let our stubbornness or our fear (or whatever it happens to be) be the determining factor, we will be unable to make strides toward success.
If this post happens to describe you then it was meant for you. If not, hooray, you apparently don't have this problem. But for you that do, now's the time to take action before this bad habit becomes a permanent one.
Get your act together before life does it for you. The sooner the better.
