Understanding Self-Discipline

Self-discipline is defined as the ability to pursue what one believes is right, despite the temptations to stray from that path. It involves exercising self-control over our base desires, helping individuals make better choices regarding their finances and life. Many people mistakenly believe that self-discipline is a fixed trait, akin to having a specific hair color or eye color. However, it is a skill that can be improved and strengthened over time, much like a muscle that can be exercised to gain strength.
