Is Self-Discipline Actually Important?

One of the most important trait that you can have in creating the life you want to live is discipline. Most of the time, when people think of discipline, they automatically think 'punishment'. That is not the kind of discipline we're talking about. The kind of discipline we're talking about today is 'beating yourself into submission', so to speak. It's making yourself give up the short-term pleasures in order to achieve a long-term goal. Why is self-discipline so important? Practicing self-discipline is an integral part of every aspect of life, and is a major key to achieving your long-term goals. Self-discipline is not something that you just have; it is a skill that you have to constantly work at in order to see results. Contrary to popular belief, self-discipline isn't just being hard on yourself or living a restrictive lifestyle. It is simply the act of self-control. What do you need to do in order to develop self-discipline in your life? Is self-control something you already implement into your everyday life? What has helped you the most in your journey of self-discipline? I'd love to hear about your personal experience in implementing self-discipline in your life; the things that have helped, as well as the things that just didn't work for you.
