The elegant secret to self-discipline
Quote on the importance of discipline:
"The discipline of desire is the background of character." — John Locke
Discipline is the ultimate act of service to your future self.
In 10 years, you'll either be paid for your actions in the present, or you'll pay for them.

The pain of not achieving your goals must outweigh the pain of living a comfortable life.
Self discipline is removing the distractions numbing you to the pain of becoming who you were meant to be (and not achieving your goals).
Constant reminder of your vision.
Constant self education
Constant building towards your vision using skills developed in that self education.
— Dan Koe
This is the secret of the disciplined and successful. Self-discipline is when the desire to become the highest version of yourself outweighs the desire for cheap pleasures.
