Lack of self-discipline
“Do what needs to be done, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.” The fact of the matter is that we will all be disciplined in life. Discipline has never been optional. Discipline will either be supplied from an outside source or from within ourselves. We are not talking so much in terms of punishment as we are in terms of restraint and willpower.
Self-discipline is all about becoming the master of doing the things we prefer not to do.
Self-discipline requires sustained, perpetual, massive action. If that sounds like an every day, every moment kind of thing, that’s because I believe that’s what it is.
Discipline is not something we are born with; rather it is something we develop. Our every day actions can initiate, reinforce, enhance, and refine that state of inner self-discipline.
If we are going to achieve the becoming of the best versions of ourselves, then we are going to need to put in the effort, dedication, and purposeful commitment to the process that it will take to get there.
