One of the most essential skills for unlocking our potential is self-discipline. We asked some of the most inspiring creatives and entrepreneurs where their self-discipline comes from.

I can confidently say that my self-discipline is deeply rooted in the values instilled in me during my upbringing in Venezuela, where I learned the importance of dedication and perseverance. I was fortunate to receive a valuable education from tutors and teachers who emphasized the significance of service and staying true to commitments. Read more>>

A wise man once told me I could pay the price of discipline, or the price of disappointment. Personally, I do not want to look back in 20, 30 or 50 years from now thinking, what if I tried harder? What if I applied myself more? What if I was more disciplined? I want to know the answer. Even if things do not work out in my favor, at least I can look back and say I tried, I gave it my all, I was disciplined. I will not look back and be disappointed regardless of the outcome, as long as I know I gave it my best shot and remained disciplined throughout this journey. Read more>>

I feel like time is precious. We only live on the Earth a short while so I don’t want to waste my time. This is what fuels my drive for my creative output. I always think what can I do to make my time worth it. I never waste time. So with this thought, it fuels my self-discipline.
Secondly, I can’t stop creating. If I do, I feel lost. If I go without it for a few weeks I feel something is wrong. Then I start to make music or start drawing and something happens. I feel happy. I feel clear and balanced again. It’s like someone switched off the electricity and stopped the flow and tirned it back on again. Read more>>

It comes from daily hard work and being the one in control of my decision to “do.” We have all kinds of desires, distractions, and Compulsive actions. These things affect us from moment to moment and drive us to act on auto pilot. It can be as simple as an addiction to drink coffee before you start your day, or to check your notifications on social media. That action is, in a way in control of you. My aim is to break free from these and act according to my own free will and the will of the creator. It is my aim to liberate myself from the limitations of the physical world. This is where my self discipline comes from. Read more>>

I suppose majority of it came from when I was younger. I have a mum who is incredibly supportive & in her own right is very self disciplined so I always had someone to look to for that. When I was younger & to be fair now, if something was thrown my way & it was either complicated or really short notice that’s where it really came into play. I think it was also mixed with that thing you have as a kid where you just don’t feel anxiety you are totally in your own world. Now it’s a lot more awareness of if I want to accomplish something I have to keep pushing towards it. Read more>>

If you have a dream, something you want to do more than anything in the world, something you love so much you’re completely unsure of who you would be without it, you have no other choice than to give that passion every chance it can have to be your life. I have always wanted to do music and I figure if I continue trying every single day, being consistent in practicing the guitar, the piano, producing, writing, and singing – if I stay consistent in promoting myself on social media, performing live, walking up to people and pitching myself, that’s what I have to do.
