The most important habit
you can develop for success, achievement and happiness
is
the habit of
self-discipline

of self-discipline comes

“Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you
should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.”

yourself to the degree to which you feel you are in control of your own life.”
