Self-Disciplined Motivation Day 5: Add Value Every Day

            "The greatest success is becoming someone whose discipline improves

A good part of motivation comes from the people you involuntarily affect.  Those lives you change just from the simple things you’ve done to grow yourself.  What you consider small can be huge to others.  Simple random acts of kindness or support can mean the world to those who are lost and have no discipline.  Even when you believe that was not my intention, it serves the same.  Your strength becomes the flickering light for others.  Your small gains in discipline become small motivators for you, but they are more than that to people around you.  Knowing that you are influencing others is not your goal; that is a separate motivator, one that should keep you humble rather than prideful.

Your main focus should be on adding value to your lives.   Do you know how you should perceive your growth?  You add value to your knowledge and strengths each day as you look to increase who you are by the smallest of steps.  Small steps are more easily remembered than large strides.  We can correct our steps more easily when we take small steps to our goal.  We always have to backtrack when our steps are larger than our memory can hold.

Why add value to yourself:  Become stronger so you can protect.  Become healthier so you can inspire.  Become wiser so you can teach.  Become kinder so you can encourage.
Success becomes far more satisfying when other people rise because you chose to improve yourself first.
