But this is the essence of discipline. Discipline is the art of moving forward even when your emotions, energy level, or schedule make it difficult or unpleasant in some way. Discipline is self-control. Only doing what you find immediately or obviously rewarding is not discipline.

I only sort of agree with this.

I'm in my late 30s, I have a full time job and run a side business while also putting myself through college. I am the sole income to a house of 3, my younger brother lives with me and shares caregiver duties with me for our heavily disabled mother. He watches her and does most house duties while I work.

I work hard and have almost no social life now since this situation started with my mom over 2 years ago. I do this willingly because I love my mother and she is the only person I've ever truly been able to count on. I do this for and with my brother because I love him as well. After the situation with our mom changes one way or another we will have to work on getting him operating as a self sufficient adult sgsin, we both know that and we both understand it won't be instant and will take more work.

If I die today I will not have any regrets for what I'm doing. These are the people I love and I would walk to the ends of the earth for them.

I recently broke my hand; but after the doctor told me I have to take 6 weeks off I was telling myself “I’ll wait until I get the cast and I should be good to work.”It’s hard to not lose yourself in your work. My boss told me to take the 6 weeks to heal and collect disability. Upsetting but its better to let it heal properly.
