Whatever you aim to do and achieve in life, whomever you wish to become—the ability to discipline yourself is sure to play a major role in your success. Whether you’re seeking financial security, increased physical strength and fitness, a clear and organized home, professional achievement, improved relationships, or inner peace—if you can cultivate the ability to discipline yourself, you’re halfway there.

It’s all too easy in life to get caught up, to drift along, and to let life pass you by. In modern society, the forces vying for your attention, your focus, and your will are sophisticated and ubiquitous. You have every tool of distraction you could ever dream of at your disposal. Most people, it seems, choose the path of least resistance—succumbing to temptation, choosing comfort, and avoiding the reality of the gap between where they are and where they could and should be.
