MY REFLECTION ABOUT SELF-DETERMINATION AND SELF DISCIPLINE

I realized that the most powerful tool which helped me to minimize my weaknesses and strengthen my motivation
is my self-determination. According to (SDT) self-determination is not a one single quality. Self-determination
theory is basically concerned with supporting the natural intrinsic tendencies to behave in effective and healthy
ways. In other words, it is a macro theory of human motivation and personality which is concerned with human
inherent growth tendencies and innate psychological needs. If we look its larger view, we can see that it is directly
related to the theory of motivation. The significant factor of this theory is that it emphasizes humans' natural
growth toward positive motivation. However, if one is not trying to educate from the social environment, he/she
will not benefit and grow, and their basic needs will not be fulfilled. To be successful in life, my real strength lies in
my self-determination. I found it is my self-determining nature that helps me to develop to my highest level of
efficacy. It has a saying that any person who has high efficacy will have confidence in their own ability to perform
tasks and meet challenges. Thus, this quality develops a positive attitude in my thinking and boosts my confidence.
It gives me strength to remove obstacles which have blocked the path to my desired goal. I have always relied on
myself and my confidence when taking any decisions and I looked at things without being influenced by others. If I
looked back into my life, I find that throughout my life struggle my self-determination was the factor that
motivated me to face all my difficulties with courage. And also it provided me the strength to move forward in my
life. While discipline also is very much important in every walk of our life. In our schools, colleges, universities, in
offices or even at battlefields, we can’t have success and desired outcomes without applying discipline to our lives.
Discipline helps us in many ways. Firstly, discipline helps us to strategize our goals. It helps us to differentiate and
prioritize important tasks of our daily lives. And also we have learned the better use of time with the help of
discipline. A disciplined man knows how to prioritize his goals and make an effective policy to achieve the desired
goals. We learn to make planning before acting upon anything. Therefore, discipline helps us, firstly, to set
preferences and make planning for every goal in our life. Secondly, discipline helps us to track the pace of progress
over any given task. By giving exact time to each and every task we are in a better position to understand the true
challenges of any task. It helps to redirect and refocus our attention on any given task.  As it is said that effective
planning multiplies your chances of success. And lastly, discipline helps us to learn from our mistakes. It helps us to
stand up again after every failure for a great effort to success. It is because of the disciplined approach that we
become able to be strong, fearless, motivated and committed for the completion of our tasks. A self-disciplined
man knows where does he actually stand. He is able to figure out every issue successfully. With self-discipline,
proper planning and timely execution of planning we can become successful in the face of every challenge.
