info_outlineDiscipline makes life easier by being difficult. It’s about doing what needs to be done before what you want to do.
Tim and Steve discuss how self-respect is the precursor to self-discipline and how it lays the foundation for personal growth and relationships — loving yourself allows you to care for others. Plus, they explore the importance of finding your "why" — the driving force behind your actions, from daily habits to self-defense.
“The more disciplined you become, the easier life gets.” — Steve Pavlina
