The Value of Self-Discipline

When you see someone who is fit, has a thin abdomen, a firm buttox, and well-toned muscles, do you think that they got this way by sitting around feeling sorry for themselves, habitually living a sedentary life and eating excessive amounts of junk food? Or do you think they have consistently exercised self-discipline, when it comes to their habits of diet and exercise?

You may not want to discipline yourself. Yet, you know that everything you desire lies on the other side of self discipline.

When you see a masterful musician or martial artist, there is but one obvious conclusion you can reach about their capacity for self-discipline.

Most wealthy people worked incredibly hard to achieve their wealth. Flying first class to tropical vacations is the result of prior self-discipline, more often than not.

Without self-discipline, your life will probably never be more than mediocre.
