Personal development is not just about pursuing some high ideal or racing toward an achievement; it is about developing the processes that allow you to improve daily. The fact is that we do not grow overnight; it takes time and requires some level of commitment, focus, and effort. These 17 laws provide a straightforward, realistic approach to constructing a superior you.

1. Discipline Over Motivation

Motivation is good — motivation is the fire that ignites you. But discipline? That is what makes you continue even when the fire is out. It’s about turning up to give your best regardless of your feelings towards them. Remember when getting out of bed felt impossible, but you push yourself to hit the gym anyway? That’s discipline.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” — Aristotle

2. Set Big Goals

Clear, ambitious goals give your life direction and purpose. Instead of vague intentions, set measurable and realistic targets. For instance, deciding to earn $10,000 a month in three years gives you a reason to work hard every day and aligns your efforts with a specific outcome.

“A goal properly set is halfway reached.” — Zig Ziglar
