Importance of Discipline in Life

Discipline is vital to life. Discipline refers to the set of rules that regulate our lives. It brings orderliness.
It is ingrained in every aspect of human life, right from learning to use a litter bin to having good
thoughts.

Without discipline, people would do whatever they wish. They may not lead a healthy lifestyle and
may indulge in malpractices. Thus, without discipline, the world would be chaotic.

Types of discipline:
Discipline can be broadly classified into two categories: internal discipline and external discipline.
Let us discuss them one by one:

1. The internal discipline is about self-control and helps you to judge the difference between right
and wrong. One takes the right decisions and spreads positivity.
2. The external regulations or discipline refers to the laws and practices accepted as the norm in a
society. They make you socially fit. A person is expected to follow certain norms as per the society
where he lives.

Benefits of a disciplined life:

are more regular while exercising. Time-bound activities are essential for a fit body. These are the
foundation for time management skills.

2. You can lead a stress-free life


As one gets the habit of doing every work within the stipulated time, the fear of deadlines does
not affect them. Young children have ample time to concentrate on extra-curricular activities.

study time.

person executes his work well in the office too. Discipline lets you overcome laziness. As one
follows the social norms, they have amicable personal lives also.

3. You can stay happy and active


Discipline boosts your self-confidence. You are proactive and plan all your work. You become self-
confident and are ready to take up challenges. By having self-control, one becomes careful with
the words to use and behaviours to display. You do not hurt others knowingly or unknowingly. You
lead a conscious life and are aware of your deeds. You find it easy to build relationships with
people. You can avoid many problems in life.

4. You can develop leadership qualities


Discipline teaches you to be responsible. You can maintain consistency in life and observe the
well-defined rules. You take the right decisions at the right time. These qualities earn your respect,
and you are seen as a natural leader. A good leader must possess a magnificent personality. You
can improve your personality and become impressive.

5. Discipline enhances your mental strength


Self-discipline is the base for mental toughness. It gives the willpower required for facing
challenges and adversities. Restraint and practice help you determine your weaknesses. You tend
to have clear plans and execute them well. You can visualize the long term rewards, and not
bicker over small things. It also increases your tolerance levels. You are not bogged down by
failures. You know that making mistakes cannot be avoided, and they are a part of the process
that helps you in becoming better.

6. You can enjoy the real freedom


Discipline frees you from laziness and lethargy. You carry out all your responsibilities well and
become self-sufficient. Thus, you get freedom from expectations and demands. Similarly, you are
free from fear, doubt, and weakness. When you lead a disciplined life, you become the master of
your thoughts and emotions.

for the progress and welfare of society. At the same time, it is not easy to follow a disciplined life. It
requires practice and strict adherence. If not followed correctly, it could lead to a dubious life.
