Self-discipline is not a mushroom that springs up of itself without the need for gardener. It is like a flower that needs energy,time, and investment. You have to constantly take care of this flower. Think of yourself as a gardener and ask yourself what kind of gardener you are for your flower. You plant the seeds the moment you stop coating through life and prioritize long-term rewards over instant gratifications. However, this moment is just the very beginning; as in the case of planting the seed for a new flowering plant, there’s a lot of time and energy you’ll still need to invest to make it bloom. If you want to have a beautiful plant, you can’t water it occasionally or move it from one place to another every other week.
