 "You put a great deal of effort into everything you do", exclaimed my TaeKwonDo instructor as he critiqued me after my form testing.    I smiled inside and shouted out a "Thank you Sir!".    I may be one of the older students and definitely the heaviest student in the class but I have shown persistence over the year as I have developed my skills.     I am now a Blue Belt Recommended and have about a year left until I attain the rank of Black Belt Decided. 

The best part of TaeKwonDo is that it forces me to attend every class.   With  two month testing cycles, I am afraid to miss one instruction or critique.   So over the year , I have only missed a handful of classes.   The discipline of TaeKwonDo overflows into other areas of my life and I have found myself settling into an exercise routine that has alluded me all these years.

Anyone having difficulty with exercise should find an exercise routine that has a hook that forces them to find the discipline to participate on a regular basis.  It might be just something that you love,  it might be to achieve a rank or excel in a competition or it might be because a friend or an entire team is dependent on your participation.   I'd read this years ago but had never internalized it enough to understand the real significance of utilizing these tricks to achieve discipline.    I need to find other methods to help me achieve discipline in other areas on my life.
