#6 - The Law of Discipline

As usual, I keep on trying to practise something useful everyday. But honestly I've skipped those habitual activities for several days due to my laziness. I admit that I've no discipline to do anything, and even fail to start a new resolution for myself. Sigh, I know I really can hardly control myself even just to follow my timetable and finally end up playing in the whole day and staying up late at night. Although I understand it's a bad habit that people shouldn't follow, I just couldn't help myself. Is it because the devil of me?

Well, discipline is the instant willingness and obedience to all orders, respect for authority, self reliance and teamwork. The ability to do the right thing even when no one is watching or suffer the consequences of guilt which produces pain in our bodies, through pain comes discipline. Initially, we practise school discipline when we are in childhood. However, not everyone is well disciplined, instead they commit to the increasing disciplinary problems in school, included me.

Self discipline is very important yet no one can actually maintain it in 100%. I want THE POWER TO DISCIPLINE ONE'S OWN FEELINGS, DESIRES, ETC. which is called SELF DISCIPLINE, PLEASE! in order to beat the devil of me and unblock the intention to improve myself. Generally, self-discipline is the assertion of willpower over more base desires, and is usually understood to be a synonym of 'self control'. Self-discipline is to some extent a substitute for motivation, when one uses reason to determine a best course of action that opposes one's desires. Virtuous behavior is when one's motivations are aligned with one's reasoned aims: to do what you know is best and to do it genuinely gladly. Continent behavior, on the other hand, is when one does what one knows is best, but must do it by opposing one's motivations. Moving from continent to virtuous behavior requires training and some self discipline.

Well, let's see who can really maintain its own discipline...
