Today marks the first one percent of the year. It might seem like I’m weird to count how many percent the year has gone. I actually admit I am. I kind of believe in tracking my progress in my goals for the year. That’s why the time tracking has been slightly too intense.
I planned to work today. I remember very clearly how last night I wanted to go to the office to make some phone calls and to find for more property listings. However, I just didn’t have the mood the moment I wake up. I felt like just chilling.
Normal dilemma question: Do I force myself to go to work? (as a mark of discipline) or do I just follow what I feel like doing? (as a mark of following my heart and the flow)
I guess we all have this normal dilemma, don’t we. We all have these days where we just want to just relax and just do what we like. I am aware of the importance of discipline though, but I am also aware of the importance of only doing things when you feel like it.
Discipline vs Being In The Flow
I don’t know actually. What I know is that through experience, only do doing things when you’re in the flow really brings me joy. Forcing myself to do something might bring me happiness, but only sometimes.
How do I reconcile this? Discipline vs Being In The Flow
What brings more fulfillment? Being In The Flow does
But…
What brings the results? I wouldn’t know which one though. Discipline is said to bring us results, but is results all that there is?
Why do we need to be so disciplined if we know that what we desire is going to manifest?
Just do what I feel like doing. I feel like doing some writing today. I feel like going for a walk today in the park. I think I’ll catch a movie later. I feel like just following my heart.
in the end how,Vic? =) did you follow your heart? =D
yup i followed my heart. i totally just chill.
but its the standard thing.
you feel guilty but you just dont follow the guilt to force urself to do things…
ever since last night, i have been more motivated to do my stuffs.
i believe truly that you have to do things truly from the heart cuz its where you’ll be more productive.
it’s hard, no doubt.. because other people would only care about the results. but im not in for the results. I’m in for the fulfillment.
Learn to listen to your heart more. It gives clues to what’s most important to you.
We are so caught up with having results and being disciplined that we fail to go deeper. Discipline comes from having the true understanding that we really want something and we are willing to pay the price for it. and that becomes the fuel for us to do things even if we dont really like it for the short term because we know for the fact how much we want it.
This applies for our dreams, relationships and any other endeavour. Discipline have to come from the true understanding of why we are doing it, not because we just do it for the results.
Hope it helps you understand things better.
