Discipline

Discipline begins with obedience- listening to our parents, instructors, positive role models, and law enforcement- the people who desire to keep us on the right path. For children, it’s as simple as brushing your teeth at night, because your parents care about your health and enforce this is as a habit.

As we get older, we rely more and more on self-discipline, when we no longer need to be told to what we are told all of the time because we’ve developed a sense of right and wrong. Soon you learn to brush your teeth on your own, without being told, because you understand it’s the right thing to do and because you respect the wishes of your parents.
