I really do not like when people who don’t know me assume I have to be disciplined. Being Lorded over by some authority figure is one of my pet peeves.
To make sure that is not necessary, I do all I can to avoid it, and I exercise self-discipline. I hold myself to a higher standard than is expected of me so someone else doesn’t have to discipline me.
Self-discipline is doing what you must do, when you must do it, whether you feel like it or not.
Are you your own master? Or do you spend your days dodging another one?
I second the gratitude for Jeff Nelson.
