Do you view discipline as a punishment rather than as something positive? Unfortunately, that mindset is a losing strategy. Much as with a crash diet, if you find yourself exercising discipline but inwardly thinking, \u201cI can\u2019t wait till this is over,\u201d you\u2019re heading down the wrong path.<\/p>\n<p>Discipline means you have the determination, inner strength, and fortitude to <em>do what\u2019s right<\/em> \u2014 even if it\u2019s difficult. That may require you to speak up when others are silent, search for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/blog\/honesty-the-plain-and-simple-truth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">truth<\/a> when others jump to conclusions, question the status quo when things are set in stone, hold firm when others cave in, find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-win-win-relationship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">common ground<\/a> when others won\u2019t compromise, or sacrifice something today so that you can benefit tomorrow. It\u2019s not always easy to do what\u2019s right. That\u2019s what makes it so special!<\/p>\n<p>You have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/blog\/make-good-choices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choices<\/a> every day \u2014 to be true to yourself or bend to peer pressure; to live within your means or shop to your heart\u2019s content; to control your desires or give in to temptation. It all comes down to discipline. Do you:<\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Make yourself proud or do just enough to get by?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Think for yourself or yield to popular opinion?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Defend your beliefs or abandon your principles?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Adopt a can-do attitude or embrace a victim mentality?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Live within your means or shop till you drop?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Own your life or become <em>totally<\/em> dependent on others?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Invest in your future or succumb to instant gratification?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Compose yourself during tough times or lose control of your emotions?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Set the bar high or tolerate mediocrity?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Celebrate others\u2019 success or envy their achievements?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Focus on your priorities or become distracted by so-called emergencies?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Forgive and forget or harbor anger and bitterness?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Make decisions based on facts or act primarily on emotion?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Let things go or worry about the past?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Stay true to yourself or betray yourself to win the acceptance of others?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Sweep problems under the rug or address issues head-on?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Adopt a healthy lifestyle or surrender to temptation?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Invest in your personal growth or leave your learning to chance?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Accept personal responsibility or shift your obligations to others?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Give selflessly to others or focus primarily on your own needs?<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p>Discipline is a sign of inner strength. You demonstrate it by your willingness to accept personal responsibility, your ability to make hard choices, and your determination to live your life with honor. Your choice is to set the bar high and live with integrity or take the easy route because it\u2019s convenient to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out Frank\u2019s new book<\/strong>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0D2VB6RQ2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>BECOME: Unleash the Power of Moral Character and Be Proud of the Life You Choose<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Do You Have the Discipline to Do What\u2019s Right?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><b>Please leave a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/posters\/do-you-have-the-discipline-to-do-whats-right\/#respond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comment<\/a>\u00a0and tell us what you think or\u00a0share it with someone who can benefit from the\u00a0information.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Additional Reading: <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/blog\/do-you-choose-convenience-over-principles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do You Choose Convenience Over Principles?<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franksonnenbergonline.com\/blog\/never-lower-your-personal-standards-never\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Never Lower Your Personal Standards.
