Discipline

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."

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").
