*this is often misattributed, but succinctly, as Aristotle's own: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
Those who truly excel in an activity tend to excel in life. Practice with discipline. Train with discipline. Live with discipline.

Achieving higher levels of discipline can be incredibly easy or it can be painfully difficult. It seems easiest when we have truly identified what we want. Then the behaviors necessary to achieve our goals
fall into place. Identify what you want by being brutally honest with yourself. If you can't be honest with yourself, then life tends to be filled with obstacles and poor motivation. After all, how can you be psyched if you don't really want it?
Finally, having discipline allows us to practice perfectly. We become cognizant of repeating behavior and identifying whether it is helping our performance or hurting our performance. Those with discipline know that repetition will set the mold. Again, practice perfectly.
