When you hear the word discipline what comes to mind? Most of us associate it with pain and suffering or some other negative connotation. But if discipline is hard, ugly, or brutal then why do so many successful people cite it as the path to Success? Does that mean that Success must always be difficult, painful, or brutal?
Not necessarily. There are plenty of people who have found success with relative easeĀ due to timing, skill, or circumstance but no one has found Success (or maintained it) without discipline. That’s because Discipline is misinterpreted by our culture as the hard way… but discipline doesn’t always mean harder. Actually, Discipline is usually the easy way.
