Self discipline is an is imperative attribute in our lives as humans as it proves us to be special and improves our mental stability. Being self disciplined is an act done willingly, it's an act you decide and determine to achieve as it can't be forced on you. Once you see and realize it to be something very necessary to apply in your daily activities, you possess it wherever you're found maybe at work, church, school and even at home.
The first thing that comes to our minds when we talk about DISCIPLINE is "a systematic method of obtaining obedience, a punishment to train or maintain control or an enforce compliance or control. It entails one abiding by some rules and regulations to avoid punishment but talking on SELF DISCIPLINE, it is you up to you as an Individual to unlock it. It is the control of oneself or willpower. You taking charge of your behavior to live right and control your weakness.

Self discipline implies a lot of things. Various aspects of our lives includes self discipline. This incorporates the way we talk and react to situations around us. We all need to control our tongue and emotions because, when you try to do things with the leading of your emotions especially when it has to do with words, you may end up saying hurtful words to others but irrespective of how angry or emotions can lead us, apply self discipline. Our attitude to things around us portras if we are self disciplined especially when it has to do with the public. Do you tolerate some things and let go or do you express your weakness? Sometimes, it may not be easy to let go of of something's especially when you feel like it's your right but applying self discipline only makes you look more smart and wise.
Personally, I have exercised self-discipline in so many ways basically through my conduct and timing but I am going to share a one-time experience briefly with you guys.
During the just called off academic strike, I got a job in a bookshop where my boss was not pretty nice and considerate of her workers. She'll always want to be in total control of our lives monitoring our calls, family, relationship and even when we eat just because we where he workers. But one funny thing was that, she always left the bookshop to our care and back then, there where no cctv cameras to see and monitor us or the cash. My colleagues saw this as an opportunity to always ass extra cash fir customers and collecting the extra cash added to themselves. I really wanted this money as I was very very angry at my boss but realizing that I'm only doing hurting to the innocent customers, I refused to do this. Even if this caused problems between us, we later resolved it and I got my respect fir that.

Trust some Nigerians as they will always bring up another reason to exract money for on one way or another. It happened one time that my boss didn't pay for up to 4 months and this Gabe them another reason to make money. This time around, they decided to not extract from customers but directly from my boss. At first, this sounded so enticing but thinking about it, I just couldn't do it. Despite how much I needed money that time. Even if it cost me the good relationship I had with my colleagues because I never supported them in that act and they weren't happy with me and called me an stupid and unwise human being. The 4 months salary was later paid in full and I was happy that I could control myself. So, let's all try to discipline ourselves no matter the situation we're caught in as it's better to be called a good name.
Thanks for reading guys ☺️
