"Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion."

"I can do it!" "I can do it!" "I can do it!" and similar incantations are often thought to lead the way to success.  Each affirmation is meant to create a mindset of accomplishment.  The problem is without an affirmation followed by action, you are only deluding yourself.  You must resolve to do something, and then follow it up with action.

Jim Rohn said it best in this quote, "Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion."  He is saying you cannot just talk your way to success; you need to discipline yourself with action to make it happen.

Since we have Jim Rohn's quote above, let’s add another of his along the same vein, "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment." Once you have you affirmations for success, discipline yourself to take action and you have just made the connection between dreaming and reality. 

Discipline takes you from wishing for success to achieving it.  When you stay on track for a long period of time you can achieve any goal you set for yourself.
