Discipline Is Not a Punishment

People who perpetually lose in life see discipline as a punishment.

Discipline is not a punishment.

Not having it is the punishment.

People confuse the two.

They treat discipline like it's a burden that's robbing them of the "fun" they think they're missing.

They never stop to think what the real punishment is.

Living in a body you hate.

Working a job you can't stand.

Being broke.

Being inconsistent.

Feeling powerless and weak for life.

Letting circumstances dictate your entire life.

Looking back on years of your life knowing you left nearly all of your potential on the table.

Having to admit to yourself when you are about to die that you really didn't try that hard.

Teaching the next generation to be exactly like the version of yourself that you hate living as.

That's the cost of not having discipline.

That's the real punishment.

Think about that.
