We need to be in discipline to live a fulfilling life and if someone is not in discipline..its like lose strings hanging everywhere. It is so important that we are taught to live under discipline since the time we gain our conscious. That’s why we have schools, whatever we are taught there at small scale has a relevance in life at a much larger scale when we grow up. Once we grow up, there is no one to impose things on us, so we need to do that ourselves. However, we are so use to of breaking discipline and hating that, we are conditioned to hate discipline, so we break it. As a child if you do not get up on time, you reach late and then you are punished. In life if you do not follow your discipline, you lose goal. You lose your vision. Whatever you want to achieve, this is the first step you need to incorporate because this will keep you on the path. If you keep breaking self discipline, you will keep siding yourself. All the determination, dedication, focus comes with self discipline. If this is so important then we do we break it?
Well, to be honest, no one likes something which is imposed upon us. When we start going to school and we are told this is what you have to do, whether we like it or not, we start dreading that. We get in a defensive mode and we want to break it. However, instead of that if its not imposed and its given as a choice to kids, they will not break it. Do not worry that they will never goto school, they will. They also want to but are conditioned to oppose. They might go one year late, however, in a fast growing world, we are in so much competition that we just keep imposing things on them. If they pick it as a choice, they grow as responsible one for their decision and they will themselves learn to live a disciplined life. They would grow as a disciplined person.
If you do not incorporate discipline in your life, you cannot reach to where you have decided as every thing would lure you to side track and you will keep losing the sight of your goal. Self discipline is so important, that without that you cannot even have food available to you when you are hungry. Just imagine if your wife/mother does not get up on time to cook for you, you would be going to office empty stomach. She understands her responsibility and gets up on time so that you can leave for office on time. Everyone has an aim to run for and that cannot be achieved without self discipline. If your goal demands dedicated hours for something, you have to give.
