Discipline Determines Destiny

Book excerpt: Even if it seems nearly impossible right now, developing self-discipline is the most empowering and crucial quality any of us can possess. Without it, all of our ambitions would fail. Our obedience is not something that comes to us naturally; it needs to be trained. Without discipline, we are powerless to do anything since it demonstrates how to develop willpower, moderation, and self control in our daily lives. Discipline is not about abstinence; rather, it is about self-respect, attention, and balance. While discipline is never fun while it's happening, people who are disciplined in this way will reap the benefits of a righteous crop in peace. Even the most admirable qualities can turn into vices due to our inability to control them, but success and pleasure are still guaranteed; the trick isn't to have more of anything, but to have the perfect quantity.
