Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.

Discipline is doing what you really don't want to do so you can do what you really want to do.

I am a believer in discipline; it takes a lot to do well. You need discipline for those little excursions into the chaotic that make life interesting.

Discipline is remembering what you want.

My writing practice taught me the important thing is steadfastness. It's not necessarily discipline. Discipline can become a prison. When your spiritual practices become another thing for you to be anxious about, they've lost their usefulness.

Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone's watching or not.

I think I am disciplined when I need to be, and relax when I can.

It's just a matter of understanding what's necessary and discipline yourself to do it.
