I've got some discipline, but I want to say, "I don't have any discipline." Many people generalize and say that a shortcoming of theirs is total and universal throughout their behavior. But, we sell ourselves short by not recognizing shortcomings are usually limited.
I know at least two things I have good discipline in: exercising, and personal hygiene. So there! I didn't underrate myself this time!
I am attempting to commit to writing my blog daily, for some good reasons. First, if anyone reads it and wants to read what's next, a new writing will be there the next day. And, if I do write it daily, it will be somewhat of a paradigm shift in my routine, of which I have very little of, routines. I have a great deal of difficulty managing myself.
That might have something to do with never having been a manager or leader. I have an MBA, and have worked over thirty years, and never have been a manager. Low self-esteem is another cause of that I am sure. And, I believe something I discovered in my mid-fifties is another important reason. That is being a scapegoat in my birth family, which included what I call a "pathological sibling rivalry" with my nine years older brother. I think that is a major factor in my excelling in many things, then walking away from what I achieved; I was trained not to do better than my brother.
You can see that I have lots to write about, and in subsequent writings I will delve into these sorts of things and some progress I have made in dealing with them. And, I have other subject to write about, also.
