You need to have dreams in life. Dream's not what you get during sleeping.But dreams which do not allow you to sleep. If you are not scared by seeing your dream then you are not dreaming big enough. Dreaming and imagining is a gift to man, as only sky is the limit for your imagination to fly. You can imagine you as a CEO, an artist, song writer, astronaut walking in far distance planet. The power of dreaming is to see what you want to become in future. All the things got done twice. First in your mind and then in reality. Also dream doesn't come true when you are sleeping. You need to act on in to bring it to reality. When you have the singular focus, determination, dedication and commitment you can bring any dream to reality. 

If you want to add one more powerful word near to discipline is the word 'Consistancy'. Everyone born with a natural talent and gift.

Every day is what matters.

When you are consistent you can conquer the world 

This strategy was practice by a Canadian stock broker Trent Dyrsid to track his sales call and improve his productive. Every day the first thing he does is have two small bin one full with paper  clip and another empty bin. The full bin contains 120 paper clip.  Every day his target to do 120 calls, when he finishes each call he move one clip to the other empty bin. End of the day the empty bin will become full! That's 120 sales call. Another tip is he does this as a priority task first before checking his mail or other day to day activities. Small step day after day brings big results!
