What role does discipline play in your life?

Are you disciplined enough to focus on the task at hand, all the time?

Discipline is the key to overcoming any challenge. Discipline is the key to working towards a goal.

So why aren’t we more disciplined?

According to a Time Magazine article called ‘Why Self-Disciplined People are Happier’ by Maia Szalavitz it appears that self-disciplined people;
• “avoid creating situations in which their goals would conflict,”
• “reported fewer instances of having to choose between short-term pleasure and long-term pain.”
In other words they used this form of self control to avoid or deflect the problems in their lives.

Doesn’t discipline sound better now?
