It’s a secret to positive growth and healthy achievement in any domain of life. We have the ability to rise above ourselves, or stand outside ourselves, and monitor and appraise our own conduct. It’s a subordinate virtue, depending on its positive value for the other virtues it serves. Self discipline is by nature a partner of wisdom, but of course can be used toward foolish and evil ends, and so is never the same thing. And that’s one of my definitions of wisdom.

It is a process in which we act as our own coaches, advisors, and trainers, laying out practices of behavior and monitoring and correcting actual performance to that end. I want to suggest that self discipline is a process of guidance and guardrails, offered internally, within our own hearts and minds, for the sake of attaining a state of heart, mind, or body that we desire, or else an external goal that we seek. Our word ‘discipline’ comes from the Latin ‘disciplina’ (you can see the resemblance already, whether you haven't had your coffee or have had your cocktails and more implications on that later) which meant “instruction, teaching, training, knowledge.” That eventually gave us the late 14th century meaning of “system of rules and regulations” often used in the Catholic Church, but not before the 12th century French (‘descepline’) and a few Old English had translated the Latin, or added on the additional gloss of “chastisement or punishment.” First, I’ll not hyphenate the word, in order to emphasize both components. At first, I thought 'Eventually, when I get around to it.' Then I said, 'No, get down to it now!' So, Ok, before you leave due to this opening lame humor, like a philosophical DJ, I’ll spin that platter by request. A friend asked me this morning to ponder this idea.
