A short motivational monologue (YouTube transcript) by speaker Ram about success principles—specifically self-discipline—building on a prior segment about enthusiasm. Ram argues that discipline is an internally given command that starts in the conscious mind: thoughts generate feelings, feelings produce bodily vibration and actions, and actions create results. He stresses knowing what you want (clear goals), using the mind’s power to choose, resisting short-term impulses, and establishing routines to gain control over health, work, and relationships.

Foreign. Continue with the same success principles. Yesterday I was talking about enthusiasm. Now enthusiasm is what enthusiasm is like showing your energy of what you are doing. You are passionate about what you do. Now if you are not passionate about what you do, things will not work. Because that enthusiasm is a feeling. And unless you don't have right feeling, that energy at body level will not come. So your actions will not be as you want. Enthusiasm is very important and it is a feeling part. And today I am going to cover is another success principle which is self discipline. Now do you agree that self discipline is very important in our life? Now when we hear this word, mostly either we remember military because that's where people say that okay, those people are disciplined. Or maybe bosses tells employees that okay, be disciplined, come on time or complete your work on time. Or parents will tell children that okay, be disciplined, complete your homework on time. Now that is this discipline world. Conventionally we understand. But you know something that discipline is not somebody else tells you to do and then you do it. Discipline is giving yourself a command and then do it. Now that can be in any area of your life. That can be like starting from the morning if you want to wake up early. And if you are not able to wake up, that is because you are giving yourself a command a night before. But then you are not able to follow early in the morning any other activities. If you have decided to take care of your health and you are not able to do is again related to self discipline. Maybe certain activity which you know that. Yes, if you do that, it will help you in your profession, in raising your income, in increasing profit of your business, or maybe improving your relationship. Everything is connected with self discipline. And then if I tell you that self discipline has a lot to do with mind, would you agree with me? I'm sure you will. If you have not, I will explain you again from this diagram of his mind. Now see, discipline starts from here, from conscious mind. What you are thinking now, if you are thinking from your present result or if you are thinking from outside information. Now that's what our actions decide. Action starts from here. It is body which is going to take action. Protection starts with thoughts. Thoughts become feelings and feelings become vibration of body. Body will take action and that will turn into results. So self control or self discipline has a lot more to do with mind. And unless you don't understand mind, being in self discipline will be difficult. And see why you need to be self discipline. Now you should know that, yes, what you want to achieve out of this, what you really want Unless you don't know what you really want, you will keep on drifted with present circumstances. Like see imagine that there is a wooden log and there is a river flowing. And that log is going as river flows. That is a drifting. Now are you drifting because of this present circumstances of COVID or you are in control now you can gain control by being self disciplined person. Now self discipline can be anything. Like have your routine daily decide that yes, this much time you want to spend on yourself, maybe on your health, maybe on your mind by study. See we have lot lot more time or at least few hours of extra time which this present situation has brought in our life every day. Now we make a choice. We make a choice by sitting in front of TV or Netflix or social media. That is a power to choose. Or we are disciplined enough and we take care of ourselves by our mind, by investing in us by learning something new. Again that is a power to choice. So this mind is having power to choose. This mind has ability to accept or reject anything. If suppose you get some impulse to get some instant gratification to some short term gain. But then when you think that okay, is this helping me? Is this helping me to be in self discipline? Is this helping me to get the results I want? And if you get answer as no, you have ability to reject from here. Not necessary that you accept everything. But this mind has no ability to reject. So whatever you plant from here, conscious mind, whatever thoughts you allowed, whatever thoughts you generate, ideas you generate, or information you allow from outside and it becomes dominating thoughts. And those dominating thoughts are planted or impressed upon your subconscious mind. Then your control has gone. Control is here. The moment you lose control here, this has gone out of your hand. Then this physical part of our self as body will do whatever our feeling says. So now suppose this situation. If you are worried about what is happening and if you are keep on busy yourself with the same thoughts that when this will be over, what will happen? And if you are influenced by News which says 70% of companies in Dubai will be affected by this. Now are those thoughts are helping you? Even that may be reality. But that's where asking yourself what you really want comes to your rescue. So unless you don't know what you want, you will keep on thinking about what you don't want. So I am sure you don't want worry and doubt. But your mind will be always busy with worry and doubt. Take my word, this is going to happen. Unless you don't know or you don't have a bigger picture of what you want. You don't have understanding of what I am talking about since many days about your mind. If you don't have that understanding unconsciously you will be here. See, this is how our mind works. If we don't give mind a target mind will be busy with these kind of things. And then we lose the discipline. So it is our choice whether we want to control our life. All the areas of our life, health, wealth, relationship, discipline is very important. And when you take control of your thoughts everything will be aligned. Because thoughts are connected with feelings. Feelings are connected with body. And that body's body is what it takes action. And action brings results. So yesterday what I was talking about enthusiasm is here. If you are not enthusiasm, if you are not having you can say passion about what you do. Your actions will be will not be. You can say aggressive or those kind of actions which can bring those results. Because your thoughts now you go back. Your enthusiasm connects with your thoughts. What you are thinking, are you thinking doubt and worry? Or you are thinking with understanding. Are you feared about what is happening? Or you have faith in yourself, in universe, in your creator. So we have to make a choice. And we have that power to choose. We are given that power but we are not using somehow. Because we are not educated on this. Our school system. Our education system doesn't cover anything about mind. It doesn't cover anything about faith. So command and then follow it. But to give yourself need this. What is the purpose of getting what you want? So think over this, what you want. Have a clear direction, clear goal of what you want. And then you will see the difference. Then that will help you to become a self disciplined person. That's all for today. Hope you are enjoying your day. And we'll come back again tomorrow with new principles of success from this think and grow rich book. Till that time good day, good evening and good night. See you tomorrow. Ram.
