The only real difficulty with becoming disciplined is when you buy into the notion that happiness comes at the price of sacrifice. The reality is this: Discipline becomes freedom when you are doing what you love.

About This Quote

Hard work with discipline is the only true way to achieve success without exception. Discipline means working with a sense of purpose and doing what you love to do. When people apply discipline, they are doing what they love with a firm focus on the future. They are both happy and successful.

There are many people who have achieved success by working hard for years, but they eventually fell into the trap of believing that happiness comes at the price of sacrifice. They believe that there is no way for them to succeed if they are not willing to give up all that they have accomplished so far. The truth is, however, there is no way for anyone to succeed without putting in the effort required to do so.

Hard work without discipline will always lead to failure. To become disciplined means to work harder than you have before so that your actions can lead to success.
