Where did it go?

Discipline instead of cockiness!

Where did the discipline go? It’s been replaced with impatience and immaturity. I see it everywhere I go now. On TV I heard Souljah Boy is now dissing Kanye for taking “his” grammy that he should have won. Really?!?! So what did he do? He made a song titled “Grammy” about it.

I see the same immaturity on Facebook with people constantly talking negative stuff and giving up on what seems to be hard to them when in reality it’s not that it’s hard; they just lack discipline and structure to overcome the obstacle.

During my day I encounter at least one person who lacks discipline and I know this by how much they complain about life. Patience is a virtue that can also be a tool for the weak. But the reason they’re weak is because of lack of discipline.

See, todays generation is the here and now type. They want it here and NOW! They don’t want to wait. Keyword- NOW.

Why fight so hard for something that to get to it takes time when the most convenient next best thing is almost at your disposal? Why try so hard to reach that goal the long way when there is a short cut to a much more easier goal the short way? What happened to hard work? Im not talking about the hard work that one puts to better just THEMSELVES. I’m talking about the hard work that others see that makes them want to inspire to be just like that person. Lets face it, NO ONE wants to be a labeled a B**** or an a**hole! But when your discipline starts to turn into a selfish discipleship and everything starts to become about you and how people view YOU then you need help. When did it ever become just about you?

I see a lot of people talk the talk about relationships and what not but still get sucked into the same bad habits as before. Discipline yourself! Why go for convenience when you can hold out for long lasting? Why settle for mediocre when you can wait for greatness? Why bother with the here and now when you can search for the one who is worth it all? Stop wasting your time playing childish games. If you want to be with the eagles you must soar among the eagles. You keep doing as children do, you’ll never grow up! Get rid of the childlike mentality and grow up. One day it will all make sense but why do we have such a big capacity to hate and such a small part that loves?

Mentors no longer teach how to be disciplined in life but rather the importance of being disciplined. SHOW the way. Just don’t direct and tell them what to do. LEAD by EXAMPLE! Where did that teaching go? Where did the passion for the people go? Is it all about just building your name? Or is it about building up peoples character? So many cocky people in the industry no wonder it is the way it is.

All I’m saying is that, it’s not all about YOU! We all need to wake up and stop being selfish and look at the big picture. Discipline ourselves to walk the straight and narrow. Let’s not take the shortcuts to get there quicker losing sight of our goal to begin with. Pave the way for other people taking the same route that they may see how we got there and take after us and the hard work to get there. Where did the discipline go? It disappeared the same time that we decided to get cocky and forget what being a humble person stood for!
