How to Build Discipline

In continuation of Om Swami's discourse on discipline given to a group of young teens and students in the self-transformation retreat for teens.

The question is how to build discipline. We all agree that to be successful you must be disciplined but how should we go about it? The first thing is to set short term goals that are feasible and practical. It is very important. If you set very long-term goals you will not be able to measure them.

Yes, everybody wants to be rich and maybe you want to have a Ferrari or a Mercedes but you have to set a short-term goal first. You set a goal that for the next two weeks I am going to cover this subject. Because you have to cover a certain amount of syllabus, you can either run a marathon or you can run a sprint. It is up to you how you want to cover it. Everybody has an individual style. However, you cannot escape. You need to know the stuff to write in the exam. You cannot escape from it. But it does not mean that you have to study all year and cram stuff and try to remember everything. You just have to understand. If you understand then more than half of the stuff you will remember on your own.

Listen to this discourse by Om Swami on how to build discipline.
