Success Key: Discipline Yourself for Success
Your thought habits are subject to your control and self-discipline.
By Napoleon Hill and Richard A. Catalina, Jr., Esq.
When the going was the hardest, Benjamin Disraeli, on of England’s greatest prime ministers, drew on his willpower to its greatest capacity. It sustained him through the emergencies of temporary defeat and brought him through to victory. In summarizing his achievements in one short sentence, he said: “The secret of success is constancy of purpose!”
All too often people quit when the going gets tough, often when just one more step would have carried them triumphantly to victory. There is one unbeatable rule for the mastery of sorrows and disappointments, and that is transmutation of those emotional frustrations through definite planning. It is a rule that has no equal.

Your thought habits are subject to your control and self-discipline. They are the only circumstances of your life over which you have complete control. This privilege carries with it a heavy responsibility because it is the one privilege that determines, more than any other, the position in life you shall occupy. If this privilege is neglected by your failure to voluntarily form habits designed to lead to the attainment of definite ends, then the circumstances of life which are beyond your control will do the job for you, and what an extremely poor job it often becomes!
If you make your thought habits to order, they will carry you to the attainment of any desired goal within your reach. Or you can allow the uncontrollable circumstances of your life to make your thought habits for you, and they will carry you inexorably to failure’s shore on the great river of life.
Turn on the full powers of your will and take complete control of your life. Your mind was given to you as a servant to carry out your desires. No one may enter it or influence it in the slightest degree without your consent and cooperation. Harness its power and use it to serve your needs.
Freedom of body and mind, independence and economic security are the results of personal initiative expressed through self-discipline. By no other means may these universal desires be assured.
REMEMBER: You are where you are and what you are because of your habits of thought! Change your thought habits (cause) and you change the circumstances of your life (effect) - it is that simple.
