Discipline

"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."

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").
