I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've developed a self-discipline since the time I was a child.
Some of us, for better or worse, develop very stable, consistent, and largely predictable machineries of self. But in others, the self machinery is more flexible and more open to unexpected turns.
I think self-discipline is something, it's like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
Self-discipline is an act of cultivation. It requires you to connect today's actions to tomorrow's results. There's a season for sowing a season for reaping. Self-discipline helps you know which is which.
I have learned that I really do have discipline, self-control, and patience. But they were given to me as a seed, and it's up to me to choose to develop them.
Now I also discipline myself to do things I love to do when I don't want to do them.
Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.
I am absolutely and inherently self-destructive in that I am always making sure I'm doing what I want to do.
Every time I get something under control in my own life, the world provides more material.
I can have incredible self-discipline. But see, I think it's obviously a form of stupidity.
