"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified." - The Apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Discipline is the human faculty of inculcating a determination to do what is right or useful, even when more pleasant activities are readily at hand. "

"Discipline generally refers to the proactive act of taking action to achieve a goal, often by following a set routine or plan, while "self-control" focuses on actively resisting temptations or impulses to avoid doing something you shouldn't, essentially saying "no" to immediate desires in favor of a long-term objective; in simpler terms, discipline is about "doing what you need to do" even when you don't feel like it, while self-control is about "not doing something you want to do" to stay on track with your goals."[1]

Children are first disciplined by their parents, and as they mature they participate in the process of becoming more responsibility through self-discipline. People who do not discipline themselves are subject to sanctions or punishments (also called "discipline").
