Self-discipline best quotes, aphorisms, maxims, ideas, thoughts and words of wisdom about self-discipline or the right way to self-control and self-improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Self-discipline is strictly connected with self-control and with one’s willpower, being the ability to control your actions and feelings. Having discipline helps you focus on and complete tasks to achieve your goals. That is because the more control you have over yourself, the more you can control the results of what you do. Some synonyms for self-discipline are continence, restraint, self-command, self-containment, self-control, self-government, self-mastery, self-possession, self-restraint, will and willpower.<\/span><\/p>\n

The etymology of discipline comes from Latin, from “discipulus”, that is disciple. Therefore Discipline is something etymologically related to learning. But what is it exactly? Alongside the meaning of matter, that is, the sector of knowledge that is taught, it has an extended meaning of a system of rules – in particular, severe. In fact, sports discipline is a sport formalized with precise rules, military discipline is the iron rule of life of those in the army, and ecclesiastical discipline is that set of life behaviors that must be observed by those who want to be part of a certain church. In English Discipline dates back to the 13th century and took its meaning from the Old French word descepline “physical punishment, teaching,” and from Latin disciplina: \u201cinstruction given, teaching, learning, knowledge\u201d. The militaristic meaning \u201corderly conduct as a result of training\u201d comes from about 1500.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a world that has become so used to instant gratification, having the will power to forego immediate pleasures in favor of a more satisfying outcome is a feat in itself. Having self-discipline gives you power to say no to the misuse of your time, addictions, and other distractions. It allows you to always have the right mindset whenever challenges arise. In other words, being self-disciplined helps you find success in everything you do.<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes a certain level of maturity to achieve mental toughness and become self-disciplined. But with conscious effort and constant practice, this trait can become second nature. Then, success comes more effortlessly. Having self-discipline is necessary for creating healthy habits, and to quote Aristotle “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.\u201d In a similar way, it is only through discipline that one can reach his or her health and fitness goals. Discipline helps a person stick to their workouts until results are achieved. It is also what prevents someone from eating the wrong foods while on a particular diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discipline is like moonlight to cool the wild mind that is burning with anger, attachment, ignorance, jealousy and so forth. One becomes calm, concentrated, and magnificent, towering over ordinary beings like Mount Meru rising above the world. Others will be drawn to one’s strength and will find great inspiration and confidence in it. It pacifies our own being, and it brings peace into the way other people and sentient beings relate to us. Thus wise practitioners protect their discipline as they would their eyes.<\/span>

Discipline is teaching a child the way he should go. Discipline, therefore, includes everything you do to help your child learn. Unfortunately, it’s one of the most misunderstood words in the English language. Most people generally think of it as punishment or as something unpleasant. We need to understand that discipline is something you do for a child. Punishment is something you do to a child when discipline fails. Both Greek and Hebrew words denoting discipline include the meaning of chastening, correction, rebuke, upbringing, training, instruction, education, and reproof. The purpose of discipline is positive, to produce a whole person, free from the faults and handicaps that hinder maximum development.<\/span>
