When you read articles about self-discipline, you will always see a sentence, self-disciplined people are not necessarily excellent, but excellent people must be self-disciplined. It is not difficult to see that a self-disciplined life should be the most beautiful life. Many times, we know this truth, but we can't get out of the countless excuses we give ourselves to avoid difficulties and persist. In fact, all the excuses are colorful umbrellas for yourself. Most people always give up at the critical moment when they need to try to restrain themselves most. Self-disciplined life has its own bright spots, and the whole body has been circled with colorful auras. Self-discipline is a process of self-confrontation and final compromise, which may bring pain and suffering, but life without self-discipline may be failure or complete failure.
My junior high school classmate Jun is a fat man. After he got married at work, his weight soared to more than 200 kilograms. In addition, he is not tall, and he can't walk with his hands, which has been bothering him for many years. The road to losing weight is always full of twists and turns, and you have to make great efforts every time. However, when I saw him recently, I suddenly felt that my eyes were shining. Visually, I should have lost about fifty or sixty pounds at once, and the whole person is much more energetic. According to him, high-intensity exercise and unremitting efforts have made today's achievements. Of course, only he knows how hard this process is. Not only that, after losing weight, I developed a healthy and self-disciplined lifestyle. After that, you can always see him on the track of the stadium and in the gym. At this moment, he started a new life of self-discipline.
My friend Hui runs a liquor store, so there is no shortage of wine in her life because she is close to the water tower. Every once in a while, he will invite friends to have dinner together, and every time he will drink himself to a good mood, then he will find fault and fight, and finally there will be some quarrels. Everyone knows that he is like this, and then try to avoid inviting him to the reception again. He is always looking for any opportunity to drink, and he wants to eat a meal without a chance to find a way to create an opportunity. When he doesn't drink, he is upright, not only chivalrous, but also generous in aiding needy people. It can be said that he has many friends. Many close friends tried to persuade him to drink countless times, but all had little effect.
During the epidemic, there are fewer things for friends to push a cup for a change. After the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, I seldom go to restaurants to eat. During this period, I saw that Hui changed a lot, from not drinking every day to not drinking for three or five days. Friends feel very strange, too. They are all speculating about his changes and feel incredible.
It turns out that the problem lies in the contradictions within the family. Hui's wife is gentle and virtuous, and she never competes with others outside. She is also a good wife and mother at home. This time, Hui was given an ultimatum because of the three highs. If he doesn't give up drinking, his wife is determined to get a divorce, saying that she doesn't want to see him collapsed in bed at last, let alone wait on him. For many years, because he drank and fought, he never came this far. This time, his wife may have taken it seriously. External factors affect internal factors, and the escalation of this contradiction touched him greatly. Touching around, the problem itself is still on Hui himself. If he doesn't fundamentally realize the seriousness of the problem and try to solve it, it's still the same.
At first, Hui made a three-day plan for herself. He thought that if the short-term plan was successful, it would gradually become a long-term plan. According to this train of thought, when I put it into practice, at the initial stage, after I became addicted, I was always at a loss, twisted inside, tired and restless. Fortunately, the pain was overcome after some time. From the initial liquor to beer, from beer to red wine, step by step, he didn't touch a drop of liquor or get drunk for half a year.
Let self-discipline become a way of life and enter everyone's heart. Self-discipline is something that people need to identify with in their bones and accept and obey unconditionally in their hearts. Again, self-disciplined people are not necessarily excellent, but excellent people must be self-disciplined.
