Self-discipline

Self-discipline means really self-control.

It is getting yourself to do what you really want to do, rather than being tossed around by your feelings like a leaf in the wind.

It means that you don’t lose control of yourself when you feel hurt or angry, but you decide how you are going to talk and what you are going to do.

Self-discipline is being temperate in all things.

I am awake, alert and self-controlled.

Self-discipline reaps the harvest of a peaceful and upright life.

Self-discipline is saying no to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly.

Affirmation:

I am self-disciplined. God did not give me the spirit of timidity but the spirit of power and love and self-control [2 Timothy 1:7].
