For so many of us, discipline is a dirty word, conjuring up images of toil and labour as we strive toward impossible goals which we inevitably abandon. But discipline doesn’t need to be about deprivation and drudgery. If you are prepared to view it differently, then it can become your ally helping you to live your best life. The Dalai Lama even goes as far as to say that “a disciplined mind leads to happiness, while an undisciplined mind leads to suffering”. So perhaps it’s time to become a disciple of discipline.
