Do you know where discipline originates from?
Where does discipline originate from?
This is a simple answer.
Discipline originates from within.
Discipline is an internal force.
Sure, you can have discipline imposed on
you by a person,
like a drill instructor,
or that self-help guru on TV, but the
reality is: He won’t give you real discipline.
Because that external discipline is
not strong. It will not survive.
It cannot stand on its own.
What you are looking for,
what you need, is SELF-DISCIPLINE.
Self-discipline, as the very term implies,
comes from the SELF. YOU.
It comes when you make a decision to be disciplined.
When you make a decision to be better.
When you make a decision to do more, to BE more.
Self-discipline comes when you decide to make a mark on the world.
If you don’t think you are disciplined:
It is because you haven’t decided to be
disciplined. YET.
It is because you haven’t created it. YET.
You haven’t become it. YET.
So where does it come from?
It comes from you.
So make the decision.
Make the commitment.
Become the discipline-embrace its cold and relentless power.
And it will make you better and stronger and smarter and faster and healthier than anything else. And most important:
It will make you free.
