When I think of self discipline I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I think I am quite self disciplined, but looking a little closer, I see I fool myself about that. Just because I have a busy center and work 6-7 days a week doesn’t mean I am self disciplined. Quite the opposite. I’m just busy.
There are many, many books written about this. Many tips on how to make your life happier, more prosperous, more peaceful etc, but without self discipline nothing works.
You don’t have to be the brightest crayon in the box to have a great life, in fact, the shelters are filled with some very bright people. You don’t have to be the most talented at your craft for it to enrich your life. I have several family members who are rather mediocre thinkers, but they are very happy and very prosperous. I have other family members who are probably geniuses and have very miserable lives.
One of the keys to anyone’s success is self discipline. I love this quote:
“Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.” -Thomas Huxley
