What if I was wrong

Discipline, discipline, discipline.

As guys, most of learned about true discipline was went we served as conscripts. During my time, I was to get up at a certain time daily, polish my boots, clean my rifle, go on about our daily routine of a series of exercises. I hated it. Because it is against my will to do all these. What choice do I have but to comply.

Now, when we get a chance, our discipline is largely a factor of our willingness to comply to ourselves.

But what if I was wrong? By being disciplined it actually brings about no benefits whatsoever?

Let's look at the natural laws surrounding "discipline". I believe there are four natural laws that govern self-discipline. And they work for you if you acknowledge them and they work against you when you ignore them.

First is time. If you acknowledge it and make optimal usage of it by being self-disciplined; it works for you as you will see that the investment you've made will pay off everytime, like clock-work.

Second is relationships. If you acknowledge the importance of relationships and maintain self-discipline; you will almost always gain a better relationship than otherwise.

Third is money. Invest it wisely according to a set of self-disciplined rules and you will reap your rewards; else you will lick your wounds.

And finally, its health. Maintain a self-disciplined lifestyle and you will be in the pink of health. Otherwise, you will be spending time and money trying to get it back and at the same time cannot achieve quality relationships.

So, what if I was wrong? I will be engaging in time-wasting activities, spending money where it offers no real returns, beating my body up with toxic waste, and having lousy relationships with others.

So, what if I was wrong? Well, big time loser I will be!
