S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Before you attempt to conquer money, opportunity, or circumstance, there is one opponent you must face first, and most men avoid it for a lifetime.

0:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

It does not stand outside you. It does not announce itself. It lives within you, quietly directing your actions, and it decides everything.

0:18

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You can have knowledge, talent, and opportunity placed directly in your hands and still fail.

0:23

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Not because the world stopped you, but because you could not command yourself at the moment action was required.

0:30

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

That is the hidden battle. Self-discipline is not a trait you are born with. It is a victory you must earn.

0:37

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

A victory over impulse, distraction, and the quiet voice that suggests comfort when effort is necessary.

0:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And until that victory is secured, every goal you set will remain uncertain.

0:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Let me ask you something directly. How many times have you known exactly what to do and still not done it?

0:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Not because you lacked clarity, but because something inside you chose ease over execution in that moment.

1:06

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

That something is your first opponent. It does not need to defeat you openly. It only needs to delay you.

1:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You tell yourself you will. Start tomorrow. That you will do it later. That you will begin when conditions are better.

1:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And each delay feels small, but together they form a pattern that holds you in place.

1:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

This is how potential is lost. Not through failure, but through postponement.

1:33

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You begin with intention.

1:35

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You feel motivated. You create a plan.

1:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And for a few days, everything feels aligned.

1:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

But then the feeling fades.

1:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And what remains is the test most men fail.

1:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Repetition without excitement.

1:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

This is where discipline is formed.

1:52

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Not in the moments when you feel strong, but in the moments when you do.

1:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Not.

1:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

When the task feels heavy.

2:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

When your mind searches for reasons to delay.

2:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

When stopping would be easier than continuing.

2:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

That is the moment of decision.

2:09

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And that decision determines your future.

2:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Most people misunderstand discipline.

2:15

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

They believe it is about forcing yourself to act.

2:18

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

But force is temporary.

2:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

It cannot be sustained.

2:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

True discipline is different.

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

It is alignment between what you decide and what you do without negotiation.

2:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

The problem is not that you cannot act.

2:31

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

It is that you allow negotiation.

2:33

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You give yourself options.

2:35

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You allow exceptions.

2:37

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You weaken your own commands.

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

The moment discomfort appears.

2:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And every time you do this, something deeper is affected.

2:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Your trust in yourself.

2:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Because when you do not follow through, your mind learns that your word is flexible.

2:51

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

That your standards can be adjusted.

2:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And once that happens, consistency becomes difficult.

2:58

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Trust creates discipline.

3:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Without trust, you rely on feeling.

3:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And feeling cannot be trusted.

3:04

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

There will be days when you do not feel like continuing.

3:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

When progress seems slow.

3:10

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

When distractions appear more appealing than effort.

3:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

That is not a problem.

3:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

That is the process.

3:15

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

The process of building control.

3:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Because control is not developed in comfort.

3:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

It is developed in resistance.

3:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Each time you act when you do not feel like it, you strengthen your authority over yourself.

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Each time you follow through despite discomfort, you reinforce a pattern of execution.

3:33

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And over time, that pattern becomes identity.

3:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You no longer rely on motivation.

3:40

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You rely on command.

3:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

This is the difference between those who achieve and those who repeat.

3:47

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Those who achieve do not wait for the right feeling.

3:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

They act based on decision.

3:53

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Because decision creates structure.

3:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Structure removes hesitation.

3:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And hesitation is what breaks momentum.

4:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Most men hesitate too often.

4:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

They pause.

4:06

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

They reconsider.

4:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

They delay.

4:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And in doing so, they weaken their own progress.

4:11

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Because progress requires continuity.

4:15

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And continuity requires discipline.

4:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Discipline sustains movement.

4:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Without it, everything resets.

4:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

In this lesson, you will discover how to build self-discipline at its root.

4:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Not through temporary effort, but through consistent alignment between your decisions and your actions.

4:33

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You will learn how to eliminate negotiation.

4:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

How to act without waiting for emotion.

4:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And how to maintain direction even when resistance appears.

4:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

But before any method works, you must accept this truth.

4:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You are not lacking discipline.

4:47

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

You are allowing disobedience.

4:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

And the moment you choose to obey yourself without exception, without delay, you achieve your first victory.

4:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

The victory that makes every other victory possible.

हेel lush a man may command wealth«umpstance or feeling

5:04

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

there is a quieter contest which must first be decided

5:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it does not take place in the world

5:11

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it does not require the presence of others

5:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is carried on within

5:15

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

between two opposing forces

5:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

decision and impulse

5:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if I were to begin again

5:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would concern myself first with this contest

5:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for it determines all others

5:26

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a man may decide upon a course of action with complete clarity

5:30

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he may know precisely what must be done

5:32

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he may possess the ability to do it

5:35

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet at the moment when action is required

5:37

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

something intervenes

5:39

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not a barrier, not an obstacle

5:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but a suggestion

5:43

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a suggestion to delay, to reconsider

5:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to choose ease over effort

5:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this suggestion is impulse

5:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and though it appears small

5:52

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

its effect is great

5:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for if followed

5:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it breaks continuity

5:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and continuity is required for all progress

6:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

most men are not defeated by circumstance

6:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

they are diverted by impulse

6:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

they begin with intention

6:09

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet fail in execution

6:11

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not because they lack knowledge

6:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but because they do not command themselves

6:16

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

at the moment action must occur

6:18

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this is the hidden conflict

6:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

decision speaks once

6:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

impulse speaks often

6:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

decision is firm

6:26

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

impulse is persistent

6:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and if a man does not

6:30

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

strengthen his decision through action

6:32

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

impulse will gradually overcome it

6:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this is not a sudden defeat

6:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is a quiet yielding

6:40

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the man does not declare that he has chosen comfort

6:43

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he simply postpones effort

6:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he tells himself he will begin later

6:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that conditions are not yet ideal

6:52

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that he will return to the task with greater readiness

6:55

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet this return seldom occurs with the strength he expects

6:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for each delay weakens the original decision

7:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

each postponement reduces its program

7:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

force

7:06

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

until the decision

7:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

once clear

7:09

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

becomes uncertain

7:10

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this is how potential is lost

7:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not through failure

7:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but through repeated surrender to impulse

7:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if i were beginning again

7:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would observe this pattern closely

7:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would notice how often i choose

7:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not between success and failure

7:25

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but between action and delay

7:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would recognize that each moment of hesitation is not neutral

7:31

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it shapes what follows

7:33

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for the man who yields

7:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

once finds it easier to yield again

7:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and the man who acts once

7:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

finds it easier to act again

7:40

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

thus

7:40

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a pattern is formed

7:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not in a single act

7:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but in repeated choice

7:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

there exists within every man

7:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a tendency toward ease

7:51

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this tendency is not harmful in itself

7:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but when left unchecked

7:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it becomes dominant

7:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it suggests that effort may be postponed

8:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that discomfort may be avoided

8:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that action may be delayed

8:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

without consequence

8:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet the consequence is always present

8:10

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for each time a man chooses ease over

8:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

execution

8:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he strengthens that choice

8:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and in strengthening it

8:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he weakens his ability to do otherwise

8:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if i were beginning again

8:23

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would not attempt to remove impulse entirely

8:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for it cannot be removed

8:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is part of the human condition

8:31

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

instead

8:32

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would learn to recognize it

8:35

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to see it as it arises

8:37

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to distinguish it from decision

8:39

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for impulse is immediate

8:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it seeks relief

8:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

decision is deliberate

8:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it seeks result

8:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the two are often in opposition

8:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and the outcome depends upon which is followed

8:52

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if impulse is obeyed

8:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the man remains where he is

8:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if decision is obeyed

8:58

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the man advances

8:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

thus

9:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the battle is simple

9:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet not easy

9:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it must be fought repeatedly

9:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

there is also a habit

9:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

which strengthens impulse

9:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

beyond its natural force

9:10

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is the habit of allowing negotiation

9:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a man decides to act

9:15

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet permits himself to reconsider

9:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he introduces conditions

9:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he allows exceptions

9:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he weakens his own command

9:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

by treating it as optional

9:26

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this habit is subtle

9:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet destructive

9:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for once a decision becomes negotiable

9:32

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it loses its authority

9:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and once authority is lost

9:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

impulse gains control

9:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if i were beginning again

9:40

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would remove this habit

9:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would not permit myself to decide

9:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and then reconsider without cause

9:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would treat decision as final

9:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not as suggestion

9:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would act upon it without delay

9:51

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

without argument

9:53

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

without excuse

9:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for it is not the decision itself

9:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that produces result

9:58

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is the action that follows

9:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that아�jeannie.gov

9:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is the action that

9:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

you

9:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

have

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

ห

झाल झाल झाल झाल झाल

10:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and action must be immediate to retain the force of decision there is also a cost which is not often

10:06

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

recognized each time a man fails to act upon his own decision he diminishes his trust in himself

10:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he teaches his mind that his word is not binding that intention does not require execution

10:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this lesson is learned quickly and it is repeated until the man no longer expects himself to follow

10:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

through he begins to rely upon feeling instead he waits to be moved he waits to feel ready yet

10:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

feeling is unreliable it changes it weakens it cannot be depended upon if i were beginning again

10:43

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would not rely upon feeling i would rely upon command i would give instruction and i would

10:51

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

obey it in doing so i would begin to restore trust for trust is formed through obedience

10:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not to others but to oneself each time a man acts upon his decision he strengthens this trust

11:04

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he proves to himself that his word carries weight that when he decides he follows through and in this

11:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

confidence grows not from success alone but from consistency there is also a visible change that

11:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

occurs when a man resolves this inner conflict others begin to notice it they observe that he does

11:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not hesitate as before he does not delay unnecessarily he does not speak of intention without action he

11:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

proceeds this quality distinguishes him for most men hesitate most men negotiate most men delay but the man who

11:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

who acts when he is decided becomes uncommon he becomes reliable and reliability is a form of strength

11:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if i were beginning again i would seek this strength not in outward display but in inward control i would train

12:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

myself to act at the moment of decision especially when it is difficult for it is in these moments the

12:09

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

discipline is formed not when action is easy but when it is resisted each act against impulse strengthens

12:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

authority each refusal to delay increases control and through repetition this control becomes natural

12:26

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the man no longer struggles as before he acts because he has decided this is the first victory it is not

12:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not visible it is not announced yet it is the foundation upon which all visible success is built for

12:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

without it no plan may be executed consistently and without consistency no result may be secured if i were to express

12:53

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this as instruction i would say do not permit impulse to overrule decision act when you decide not later not

13:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

when it is convenient but at once let this be fixed firmly within i act upon my decisions i do not

13:10

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

delay i do not negotiate i obey my own command repeat this not as encouragement but as rule for the mind when

13:18

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

given rule and obeyed consistently begins to follow it without resistance and when resistance diminishes action

13:26

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

becomes direct thus if i were to begin again from nothing i would begin here with the resolution of this inner

13:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

conflict for the man who commands himself at the moment of action has already secured the first victory and with

13:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that victory all others become possible having recognized the conflict between decision and impulse the next

13:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

condition if i were to begin again is to examine the habit which gives impulse its power it is not impulse

13:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

alone that defeats a man it is the permission he gives it this permission takes the form of negotiation a man decides

14:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

upon a course yet he does not treat that decision as final he leaves room for reconsideration he allows

14:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

himself to question what he has already resolved and in doing so he weakens the force of his own command

14:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this weakening is rarely noticed for negotiation does not appear as surrender it appears as reason the man

14:26

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

tells himself that he is thinking carefully that he is adjusting wisely that he is allowing for flexibility

14:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet beneath these explanations lies a simple truth he is not obeying his own decision and in not obeying

14:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he begins to lose authority over himself if i were beginning again i would remove this habit at once

14:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for negotiation is the doorway through which delay enters it is the moment in which action is postponed

14:55

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not by necessity but by allowance a man decides to act

15:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet he tells himself he will begin shortly he delays slightly then again and with each delay

15:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the original decision loses strength what was once clear becomes uncertain what was once

15:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

immediate becomes distant this is how progress is broken not by failure but by interruption

15:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

negotiation creates interruption it introduces hesitation where none was required it allows

15:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the man to stand between decision and action rather than moving directly from one to the

15:33

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

other and in that space impulse gains influence if i were beginning again i would not permit this

15:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

space to exist i would close it i would act at once upon decision removing the opportunity for

15:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

negotiation to arise for once negotiation begins it rarely ends with action it ends with delay there

15:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

there is also a deeper consequence which must be understood each time a man negotiates with

16:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

himself and chooses not to act he forms a pattern he teaches his mind that decision does not require

16:09

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

execution that intention is not binding that commands may be adjusted according to feeling

16:15

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this teaching is repeated and through repetition it becomes habit in time the man no longer expects

16:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

himself to follow through he begins to speak of what he will do without doing it he plans but does not

16:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

execute he decides but does not act and thus his words lose meaning not to others alone but to himself if i were

16:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

beginning again i would guard against this loss for the loss of self-trust is one of the greatest obstacles a man may

16:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

encounter without it he cannot rely upon his own direction he must depend upon circumstance upon feeling

16:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

upon external influence to guide him and these are unreliable trust must be built and it is built through

17:04

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

obedience not occasional obedience but consistent each time a man acts upon his decision he strengthens his

17:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

belief in himself he proves that his word has weight that when he chooses he follows through this proof

17:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

accumulates and in time it forms confidence not the confidence of appearance but the confidence of certainty

17:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if i were beginning again i would seek this certainty i would not permit myself to make promises i do not intend to

17:35

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to keep i would not give instruction without execution i would treat each decision as a command and i would obey it in

17:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

doing so i would remove negotiation there is also the tendency to disguise negotiation as exception a man tells

17:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

himself that this instance is different that he may delay this time without consequence that he will resume his effort

17:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

afterward with greater strength yet this exception becomes pattern for once an exception is allowed it becomes easier to be a

18:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to allow another another and another until the exception becomes the rule if i were beginning again

18:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would not allow exceptions where discipline is required i would understand that each exception weakens

18:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

structure and structure is necessary for continuity without structure effort becomes inconsistent

18:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and inconsistency prevents accumulation thus the man begins often but finishes little there is also the matter

18:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

of justification when a man negotiates he often provides reason for his delay he explains it to himself he defends

18:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it he makes it appear reasonable this justification is dangerous for it removes discomfort and discomfort is the

18:55

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that signal that something is wrong if delay feels justified it is no longer resisted it becomes acceptable and what is acceptable is repeated

19:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if i were beginning again i would not justify delay without cause i would recognize it for what it is a break in discipline

19:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a weakening of command and i would correct it at once there is also a difference between adjustment and negotiation

19:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

adjustment adjustment is guided by necessity it improves direction negotiation is guided by discomfort

19:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it avoids effort the two may appear similar but they are not the same if i were beginning again

19:37

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

i would distinguish between them carefully for adjustment strengthens progress negotiation weakens it others will

19:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

begin to notice when a man no longer negotiates they will observe that he acts when he has decided

19:51

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he does not speak of what he will do repeatedly without doing it he does not delay unnecessarily he proceeds

19:58

S… Speaker 2 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this creates a sense of

20:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

बस्डोरी कि प्रेशचारे बिएपन थोस जो फिर रोष्ट बिएज़ एफ प्रेश हैं इन इस अलिमेंगत रूपटेश हैं इस इस पने बेपूड़ सुगड दि दिए रूपरेश ये मृगले सॉग प्रेश जिए इसे बिएफिंध थे इंपूड अले प्रेशने ओिंपन

20:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

guru.

20:30

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

He becomes accustomed to acting.

20:32

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

He no longer pauses to reconsider.

20:35

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

He moves from decision to execution, without interruption.

20:39

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

This is discipline, not forced, but formed.

20:43

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

If I were to express this as instruction, I would say, do not negotiate with your own

20:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

decisions.

20:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Act upon them at once.

20:52

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Let this be fixed firmly within.

20:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

My decisions are final.

20:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

My actions follow immediately.

20:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I do not permit delay where action is required

21:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

repeat this not as encouragement but as law

21:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for the mind, when governed by law, becomes orderly

21:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and order produces consistency

21:10

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

thus, if I were to begin again from nothing

21:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

having recognized the inner conflict

21:16

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would do this next

21:18

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would remove negotiation

21:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for in removing it, I would restore authority

21:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and in restoring authority

21:25

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would establish the discipline

21:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

upon which all progress depends

21:30

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

having removed the habit of negotiation

21:32

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the next principle, if I were to begin again

21:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

is to understand that discipline is not merely the act

21:40

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

of forcing oneself to do what is required

21:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is the process of building trust with oneself

21:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

through repeated obedience

21:46

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for without trust, no direction may be held

21:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a man may decide, he may plan, he may intend

21:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet if he does not trust himself to follow through

21:58

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

his decisions carry little weight

22:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

they become temporary, conditional

22:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

subject to change

22:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

thus, the problem is not always lack of knowledge

22:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it is lack of internal credibility

22:11

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if I were beginning again

22:13

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would not seek first to strengthen my plans

22:16

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would strengthen my trust in my own execution

22:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for a simple plan, followed with certainty

22:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

will produce more than an excellent plan

22:25

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

followed inconsistently

22:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

trust is not given, it is earned

22:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and it is earned through evidence

22:31

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

each time a man acts upon his decision

22:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he provides evidence to himself

22:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that he may be relied upon

22:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he demonstrates, not in thought, but in action

22:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that his word has meaning

22:43

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

that when he instructs himself, he obeys

22:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this evidence accumulates

22:47

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and from it, trust is formed

22:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if I were beginning again

22:51

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would understand that this process

22:53

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

begins with small acts

22:55

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not grand achievements

22:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not extraordinary effort

22:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but simple obedience to what has been decided

23:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to act when it is time to act

23:04

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to begin when it is time to begin

23:06

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

to continue when it would be easier to stop

23:09

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

these acts appear minor

23:11

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet they are foundational

23:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

four, each one strengthens the connection

23:16

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

between decision and action

23:17

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

there is also a danger which must be recognized

23:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

trust is lost more quickly than it is gained

23:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

a man may follow through several times

23:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

yet fail once

23:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and in that failure

23:30

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he weakens his belief in himself

23:32

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not completely

23:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but sufficiently to introduce doubt

23:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and doubt once present

23:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

affects future action

23:39

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

thus consistency is required

23:42

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not perfection

23:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but consistency

23:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if I were beginning again

23:48

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would not seek to act flawlessly

23:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would seek to act reliably

23:52

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for reliability produces trust

23:55

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and trust produces strength

23:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

there is also a transformation that occurs

24:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

when trust begins to form

24:02

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

at first

24:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the man must persuade himself to act

24:05

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he must apply effort to overcome hesitation

24:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he must remind himself of his decision

24:11

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

there is resistance

24:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but as trust increases

24:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this resistance diminishes

24:16

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

the man no longer questions whether he will act

24:19

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

he knows that he will

24:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and in this knowing

24:22

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

hesitation disappears

24:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

action becomes direct

24:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it becomes immediate

24:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

it becomes natural

24:30

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this is the beginning of certainty

24:33

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not certainty of outcome

24:35

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but certainty of execution

24:37

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

and this form of certainty

24:39

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

is more valuable

24:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for outcomes depend upon many factors

24:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

execution depends upon the man himself

24:47

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

if I were beginning again

24:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would place my confidence

24:50

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not in results

24:52

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but in my ability to act consistently

24:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would trust that if I continue

24:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

results will follow

24:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

not immediately

24:59

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

you

25:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but inevitably. This removes anxiety, for the man is no longer dependent upon immediate success

25:06

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

for reassurance. He is assured by his own consistency, and this assurance strengthens

25:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

him. There is also the matter of keeping small commitments. Many men believe that only large

25:18

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

actions are significant. They overlook the importance of small follow-through. Yet it is

25:24

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

often in small moments that trust is formed or lost. A man decides to begin at a certain time.

25:31

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

He delays. He tells himself it is insignificant. Yet in doing so, he weakens his command. If I were

25:39

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

beginning again, I would treat small commitments with seriousness, for they are the training ground

25:44

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

of discipline. If a man cannot rely upon himself in small matters, he will not rely upon himself in

25:51

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

large ones. But if he follows through consistently in small actions, he builds the capacity to do so

25:58

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

in greater tasks. Thus, trust expands. There is also a connection between trust and confidence.

26:06

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Confidence is often mistaken for a feeling, yet true confidence is built upon evidence. It is the result

26:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

of knowing through repeated experience that one can act and continue. If I were beginning again,

26:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would not seek confidence through encouragement. I would build it through action. For each act

26:26

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

completed strengthens belief. Each follow-through increases certainty. And over time, the man no longer

26:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

doubts his ability to proceed. This is confidence. Others will begin to observe this change. They will

26:40

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

notice that the man no longer hesitates as before. He does not require persuasion. He does not depend

26:47

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

upon motivation. He acts with a steadiness that appears natural. This steadiness inspires trust.

26:54

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

For men rely upon those who rely upon themselves. They recognize, even without analysis, that such a man

27:01

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

is dependable. And in this perception, opportunity begins to form, not because it was sought directly,

27:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

but because reliability, but because reliability attracts it. There is also a shift in identity that

27:14

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

occurs. At first, the man sees himself as one who is attempting to be disciplined. He exerts effort to

27:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

maintain control. He views discipline as something separate from himself. But as obedience is repeated,

27:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

this changes. He begins to see himself differently. Not as one who tries, but as one who does.

27:34

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Discipline becomes part of his nature. And in this shift, effort is reduced. For what is natural

27:41

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

requires less force. If I were beginning again, I would pursue this transformation. I would not be

27:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

satisfied with occasional discipline. I would aim for consistent obedience until it becomes automatic,

27:56

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

until I no longer question whether I will act, until action follows. Decision without interruption.

28:03

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

This is self-trust. And it is powerful. For the man who trusts himself is not easily shaken. He does not

28:12

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

depend upon favorable conditions. He does not wait for external validation. He proceeds. And in proceeding, he

28:20

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

advances. If I were to express this as instruction, I would say, do what you decide, every time, without exception,

28:29

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

where possible. Let this be fixed firmly within. I trust myself because I act. I follow through. I do what I

28:38

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

decide. Repeat this not as encouragement, but as standard. For the mind, when given a standard and upheld

28:45

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

consistently, begins to operate within it. And when operation becomes consistent, trust is formed. Thus, if I

28:53

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

were to begin again from nothing, having removed negotiation, I would do this next. I would build trust

29:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

through obedience, through action, through consistency. Until my word to myself becomes law and my actions

29:07

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

follow it without resistance. Having established self-trust through consistent obedience. The next

29:15

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

principle, if I were to begin again, is to separate action from feeling. For many men do not fail because they

29:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

lack direction or discipline, but because they have made their action dependent upon their emotional

29:27

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

state. This dependency is subtle, yet it is destructive. A man tells himself he will act when he feels ready,

29:36

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

when he feels motivated, when he feels strong. Yet these conditions are not constant. They rise and fall.

29:43

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

They change without warning. And in tying action to feeling, he ties progress to instability. Thus,

29:49

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

his effort becomes inconsistent. And inconsistency prevents accumulation. If I were beginning again,

29:57

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would remove this dependency entirely.

30:00

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

I would not wait to feel prepared, I would act because I have decided, for decision must lead, not emotion.

30:08

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

There is a common belief that motivation precedes action, that a man must first feel inclined, and then he may begin.

30:16

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Yet experience proves otherwise, action produces feeling, not the reverse.

30:21

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

A man who begins, even without inclination, often finds that energy follows.

30:28

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))

Clarity follows, momentum follows, but the man who waits rarely experiences these, for they are the result of movement, not the cause of it.

30:39

S… Speaker 1 (In-Depth_Lesson_on_SELF-DISCIPLINE__The_First_Victory____Napoleon_Hill(48k))
