Here are some self discipline quotes to help remind you that success or failure is all up to you. Yes, it’s easier to do what we feel like at any given moment but in order to get what you want, you will have to be able to get yourself to do the things that you know you should be doing even when you don’t feel like it. It can be a daily struggle but when you reach your goals despite as a result of doing what you needed to do even when you didn’t feel like it, you will know it was all worth it. If you have any quotes on self discipline you’d like to share, do so at the bottom of this page. Enjoy!

Following a self disciplined path of life will certainly take you where you were longing to reach.
very nice quotes page. I like it.
Your description is spot on. I am 34 yrs old and a complete failure. i dont have control over myself. complete lack of discipline. i always wait to feel like doing things.
That’s a challenge lots of people have. I think the first thing one should do is to have a dream/goal that truly excites them. When the desire is strong enough, discipline becomes much easier.
I am motivated . I even shared it with my students in a counselling session . Thankx
You’re welcome!
