It becomes increasingly harder to be disciplined in a society that prizes instant gratification. We are more concerned about feeling good all the time, so we seek immediate pleasures, whether it’s a new car, an exotic trip or a new partner. Our long-term goals are not so important anymore. We get comfortable and wait for a special event to give our lives meaning, happiness and success. Successful people know how discipline works, how it shows they are in control of their lives. There are ten disciplines that motivate and helpe create a well-balanced and successful life. These disciplines are:

	Body		Desire
	Mind		Knowledge
	Intellect		Mastery
	Spirituality		Abundance
	Character		Wisdom

Discipline means making decisions regarding our lives and having the mind set to follow through with what we want to accomplish. It also means staying focused with the task at hand and holding ourselves accountable for our actions. When we persist towards our goals despite being faced with obstacles and challenges, we can have everything in life, but without disciplene, everything can go out the window.
