Self Discipline is the my thing. I learned it when I was 15 years old. I remember it well, it was when I realized that nobody in my life was paying close attention to me. If I didn't make noise I was left alone. I liked that. It allowed me to do whatever I wanted and never get a second glance. It allowed me to really be myself with nobody telling me I was wrong or right.
Self discipline isn't about being good or bad. It's not about behaving in a social environment. It's about how you act when your by yourself. When your with yourself you have no inhibitions, nobody to answer to, nobody to judge you. This is when you build yourself..when you determine who you are. If you are tough on yourself, nobody/nothing can break you.
I used to push myself to do things I knew I didn't necessarily have to do, but knew would help me at a later time if it went ahead and did them when I didn't want to. It would be insignificant chores that most would laugh at. But, this shaped me, it made me realize that being in motion physically or mentally will make you feel accomplished and you can't have accomplishment without getting something done.
I now realize self discipline will create success in anything you do. It gives you the mental toughness necessary to attack problems and projects. It helps you stay steady through all of the ups and downs life brings and most importantly keeps you on track during those ups and downs to be where and what you want to be. I think to much emphasis is put on where we want to go, but not enough on how to get there.......Self Discipline
