When I sit and analyze the most fulfilling times of my life, I notice a lot of patterns,

a lot of similar characteristics.

During fulfilling times in my life, I'm usually healthy,

and I have a lot of people around me that I love.

And I feel creatively satisfied with my creative endeavors and

I have a healthy sense of self-discipline. Now, it's pretty obvious that being healthy, having loved

ones around and being creative would be present during a fulfilling period of life.

But self-discipline is a little bit less obvious, but yet when I reflect on the most fulfilling times of my life thus far, it is undeniable that having discipline plays a huge role in the good times of my life.

Now, when you look up the definition of self-discipline, you'll discover it says self-discipline is the ability to control one's feelings

and overcome one's weaknesses, the ability to pursue what one thinks is right, despite

temptations to abandon it.

In my own words, I feel like self-discipline is simply put striving towards an ultimate goal in life. Now your ultimate goal could be just to be a good person or your

ultimate goal could be to help people in a certain way, or your ultimate goal could be to start a family,

or your ultimate goal could be a combination of 10 different things.

And sometimes our ultimate goal changes over time,

you know, your ultimate goal can be different

every day. For all I freaking care okay but I think having

discipline is striving towards an ultimate goal in striving towards being the best person you can be.

That's sort of what it's rooted in.
