"Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most." Abraham Lincoln The desire to seek immediate gratification can be our mortal enemy. It drives us towards the comfortable choice. The safer option, or the compromise. What we lack in those weak moments is discipline. Discipline is the willingness to stick to goals we set out to do. Emotions and conditions can tempt or sway us. Where our discipline can see the temptations for what they are and make the right decision. This skill, as it truly is a skill, is one that we can practice and has been linked to being a critical component of success. What our emotions drive us towards today, may very well be directly against what we want in the long run. So we must question them. Stacked side by side, here we need to choose. Which one do we want more? There can only be one.
