Discipline is hard to obtain especially in situations where you aren’t likely to have discipline. For some people this could be for example to start eating healthy.
As children everyone is forced to have discipline in different situations. At a younger age a framework is what often forces us to be disciplined. If our parents tell us we have to study well or we will be punished we will be more inclined to spend some time studying. However the older we are becoming the less these frameworks are remaining in place. A place where the framework starts to decrease is when you continue to study for example at university. At this point you have to find a reason yourself to remain disciplined to continue to put study hours in. A second example is when you are working for your employer. While there are plenty of employees who only work a couple of hours a day you should mirror yourself on their performance. You should rather focus on yourself in to continue to improve.
Most people want to avoid pain, and discipline is usually painful. – John C. Maxwell
Discipline without a framework surrounding it is really difficult. A framework is something that makes it easier, that creates an extra reason in order to be disciplined. For example if you are still studying but were able to land yourself a job already for after graduation you will have more motivation to succeed. It’s the people who are disciplined time and time again without framework who are the people that can achieve anything they set their minds on. Doing nothing is easy but unlocking the ability to use discipline in no matter the circumstances is very powerfull. This is especially true because having discipline in certain situation may feel like being in pain. For example being disciplined to continue to work out when it’s difficult will be challenging.
When someone has a great amount of discipline it means that they can stay consistent in doing what needs to be done to accomplish or maintain their goals. The reason why everyone appreciates someone with plenty of discipline is because everyone knows how difficult it is. If there is a certain goal you want to achieve look for the reason why you want to achieve it and become disciplined in going for that specific goal. For example if you need discipline in your job for better performance a reason could be that you want job certainty and financial stability. Someone who outperforms at work will be less likely to lose their job. If so you would get a good job very quickly.
