These are the vegetables, so what am I getting for dessert?

Our lapses in discipline often come when we aren’t connected to our goals. The question above will remind you why you’re exercising uncomfortable discipline: to reach a specific outcome. To be disciplined means to accept discomfort so you can benefit in the future. Disciplined behavior is the vegetables; the payoff is the dessert.

  2. Ensure your objective is worth the reward.
