Discipline-(per Websters) training that corrects, molds, or perfects; control gained by obedience or training.

Discipline means sticking to your action plan no matter what. It means you don?t get sidetracked by watching TV or going out with your friends when you should be working on your plan. It means that nothing comes between you and the things you need to do to reach your goals. For example, my goal for today was to get up at 5:30am and go to the gym. Today is leg day, usually one of my toughest workout days. It would have been so easy to turn off the alarm, get back in bed and sleep for another hour. It?s so easy to tell myself that skipping one workout won?t hurt, after all, I can make it up tomorrow. However, before you know it, one missed workout turns to two, and then three and so on. It is so vitally important that you keep your long term in sight. you cannot achieve the results that you want by skipping workouts. Self-discipline involves what needs to be done rather than what you would like to do. Self-discipline is the key to achieving your desired goals. You have to take responsibility for yourself and your results. No one else cares about your goals as much as you do. They are your goals and it is up to you do what it takes to reach them.
