Art in Memory

Interest level is measured by how much you remember.

1. Create a Vision Your inner vision and your energy are connected. If you wake up in the morning and focus on all the bad things

level will be low. If you wake up and imagine exciting possibilities and focus on all the great things that you get to do, your energy level will lift. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. David Campbell said, “Discipline is remembering what you want.” The more reasons you have to do something, the better your inner movie will be, and the more energy you will create to do it. If your excuses are high and your reasons are low you will have no discipline to start. If your reasons are high and your excuses are low, you will have lots of motives, and motive in action creates motivation. Always ask yourself, “How badly do I want it?” If you really, really want it, you will create a strong vision and you will have the self-discipline to do it.

2. Make a Decision Change happens only when you make a true decision to change. A true decision means you will not allow for any other possibility. Make a commitment to yourself that this is the way you are going to live your life. Of course, for anything to happen in your life you have to schedule it. Decide to make it part of your routine. 3.

These pictures and voices, which we control, create our feelings. If you want emotional mastery, learn to take control of these pictures, movies, and voices that run your mind. Some people say, “I have to listen to my inner voice because it guides my intuition.” You can listen to your intuition or feelings when you are decidin...

a discipline, these feelings only get in the way. When it comes time to floss your teeth, you don’t have to consult your intuition, you just do it. When you have to exercise, you don’t have to listen to your feelings, you just do it. William James said, “The more we struggle and debate, the more we reconsider and delay, the less likely we are to act.” Schedule a time in the day for memory training and practice—whether you feel like it or not. 4. Daily Action If you want to develop a habit, the only way to do it is by practicing daily. Only by consistently practicing your discip...

longer. Some people think that once the 21 days are up the brain will take over. Then after 21 days they give up and wait for their brain to do the rest. Self-discipline requires you to make decisions daily. Self-discipline requires you to start fresh every day. Every day is a new day. If you need incentive, tell yourself you don’t have to practice this skill for the rest of your life—just for today. I believe that life does not reward idleness. If you put your arm in a sling for a week you would start to lose the use of many of your major muscles. Your brain is made of flesh and blood like the rest of your body, so if you use i...
