Discipline is the basis of success. Nonetheless, the word seems to have a negative connotation for many of us. It reminds us of school, work, law enforcement, the military and we associate it with rules, punishment and strictness. We start getting ‘disciplined’ since our early years. We are told what we have to eat and when to go to bed and we are told that we cannot play until we have finished our homework. Later in life, we have to obey the law, we have to follow work policies, and we have to be able to function in society or we will be punished. As adults, we change from a state of explicit discipline to one of implicit discipline. We are expected to act and behave a certain way, but ultimately we have the freedom not to comply. If we don’t, however, there will be consequences. It is how the world works!
