So.. What is discipline?

"Discipline is the ability to control and direct one's behavior and actions towards achieving desired outcomes."

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.

Discipline is the fuel that drives you towards your dreams and aspirations.

It's the consistent, daily choices that lead to extraordinary results

It's the willingness to sacrifice short-term gratification for long-term success.

So present in all areas of life but enhanced in anything physical/sports/education
