We all have dreams and most of us never act on our dreams. We find excuses and reasons why we can't do something. We focus on all the obstacles we see in front of us. Dreams may inspire us to act for a day or two, but it takes discipline to keep writing and painting. And this goes for successful writers and painters as well as beginners.
I have read stories of successful writers and painters who stop working. The first book or two made them a celebrity and they never finish the next book. They get caught up in the celebrity of being a writer. Being a creative leader requires discipline to sit down at the computer, to stand at that easel, or to sit at the piano.

Do you have the discipline to accomplish your dreams? Do you rise before everyone in your family so that you can spend an hour or two working on your art? Or do you stay up after everyone else has gone to bed? Do you do what many others only dream about?
Creative leaders can become easily sidetracked by the next creative thought or the next creative idea. We are attracted to the energy within new creative ideas. It is a emotional high and can be addictive. If we are not careful we will jump from one idea to the next and never finish what we have started. Creative leaders must master the art of self-discipline if they are to be successful.
Are you struggling with your dreams or have you mastered the art of self-discipline? Do you procrastinate and never finish what you start or do you bring your projects in on time? Do you let the pleasure of the moment keep you from doing the work you were meant to do? Do you let the joy of new ideas get in the way of completing your work? Remember self-discipline is the key to your success.
