I like to be in control of things, but life teaches you that there are really few things that are in your control, and the healthiest thing is sometimes to let go and trust; but having discipline in certain aspects of my life, like my work and the gym, helps me personally a lot, not only physically but mentally; I like to know that if I put discipline into something, you are able to see results, even if they are not always exactly what I expected.

I grew up in a small city in Texas named Waco. The town itself is associated with negative things and only recently has it risen above the noise with fame from certain TV personalities and the local university. But none of that has been a representation of me, of those in South Waco, nor us Mexicans. Read More>>

Ironically my self discipline was born from a lack of it originally. I was always overweight as a child to a teenager and could never control the amount of food I ate, so as a byproduct of that – obviously, I grew horizontally more than vertically at times. Read More>>

I was raised by my grandmother in the Dominican Republic until the age of eight. As many immigrants, my mother came to the United States seeking better life and career opportunities. While my grandmother only attended school until the third grade, being the oldest daughter out of fourteen children, she was stern, serious, organized, and highly self-disciplined. She became my number one role model. Read More>>

Education from a young age and communication with parents generate a bond of generating consistency and order. It has helped me a lot to have this since I was little. Now, for the challenges that arise, a discipline is very important, which is not only work-related. Read More>>

Absolutely my parents. Both of them survived the Vietnam War and made it to North America. They never pushed me in the whole, “tiger-parent” way; they always gently supported me and encouraged me to pursue what I loved. But I saw how hard they struggled to survive in a foreign land – finding work to support me and my sisters, learning the language, and quietly enduring what they had to, and I thought, if Mom and Dad can do that, I can and will find the resolve to find my own way too, even if my battles are different than theirs.

Honestly I think it comes a lot from my parents growing up, but more than anything my experiences, my failures and learning from them. I think self discipline is important and you should always be chasing a goal, whether it’s career oriented, fitness related or personal. Always aim to accomplish goals nobody has to know about!

Self-discipline is a principle I work on every day. Its not something that can be gained over night, but rather something that has to be meticulously developed. I’ve developed my self-discipline over many years by doing the things I don’t want to do. It could be working, exercising, or going to school but regardless of the challenge its about training my mind to ignore the laziness and persuing the hardships. Read More>>

Gymnastics is a competitive sport that taught me that to be among the best you must be willing to commit time and continue efforts to perfect your practice. Sports taught me the sacrifices you need to make to excel. Read More>>

In big part my self-discipline was something that my mom always taught my brother and I since we were very young. She’d often tell us stories about the struggles that she endured at a young age growing up in a big family in Mexico. Having lived in time where even getting to school in the mornings was a feat in and of itself, she made us understand that we had everything at our disposal to succeed if we put in the work.

The importance of maximizing my potential through hard work and perseverance was instilled in me from a young age. My parents and grandparents taught me to take responsibility for my actions. My guardians were excellent examples of people who overcame barriers to achieve their goals. Read More>>

Coming from a rough neighborhood and just wanting to do better in life I just always figured if I put in the work and stay focused I could over come anything. Knowing that educating more by reading and staying out the way of the wrong things and knowing it’s something better out there I always just stayed mentally grounded and always followed my own path.

My self-discipline comes from a desire to be the best version of myself, and this journey includes staying motivated. I don’t compete against others but rather challenge myself to reach new heights. To maintain this self-discipline, I remind myself of my long-term goals and the satisfaction I’ll experience when I achieve them. I also break down these goals into smaller, manageable tasks to make them less daunting. Surrounding myself with a supportive and positive environment, including people who believe in me, is essential for sustaining my motivation. Read More>>

I think it comes from the fact that I got here in this country with nothing, 9 years ago. So I had to create my own opportunities. I have to constantly be creating and giving the best I have so I don’t feel like I’m stagnated. It’s like starting a new life, so its your choice if you gonna make it excellent or just ok.

From a very young age, I learned the invaluable importance of self-discipline. Growing up in a household with my Dad, a Navy veteran, instilled in me and my siblings the significance of hard work in achieving our goals. Additionally, my training in Ballet played a crucial role in cultivating my self-discipline. Read More>>

I have always been drawn to the world of art, and it seems only natural that I ended up as a professional graphic designer. Surprisingly, my artistic journey began through the realm of dance. I’ve come to realize there are numerous avenues for creative expression, be it through the physicality of dance, the written word, or the visual arts like graphic design, painting, and drawing.

My self disciplined came from working for my dad in israel from a very young age. I quit school when I was 10 years old and start working for my father in his crane company, and in order to be in the construction business, you have to wake up super early in the morning sometime 4 o’clock in the morning sometime 5 o’clock in the morning and you come home very late so being on time super early in the morning was the first discipline.
