Why creating self discipline also creates self-confidence and ultimately freedom. Many people value what they think is “freedom” because choice in their minds means they don’t have to follow rules and that feels “free”, but ultimately that thinking creates less freedom and stops your progress.

So how to develop self discipline? 1. Be clear about your why and create a long term and short term plan that focuses on progress. 2. Prepare for distractions. 3. Create good habits and an environment for success.
