Persist and resist

Self-discipline can be structured in three parts: physical discipline involving diet, physical activities, and environment; mental and emotional discipline involving focus, temper control, and self-motivation; a fusion of both disciplines for real-world scenarios requiring monk-like or transcendent levels of self-control. It is vital to understand that self-discipline involves both avoiding and engaging in certain behaviors, as summarized by the advice 'persist and resist' from Epic Tetus.
