Discipline & Self-Training 

He who does not follow here the wheel thus set revolving, who is of sinful life, rejoicing in the senses, he lives in vain, O Arjuna.

Bhagavad Gita 3.16

The essence of effective time and life management is to organize and execute around balanced priorities... Most people say their main fault is a lack of discipline... I believe, that is not the case. The basic problem is that their priorities have not become deeply planted in their hearts and minds.

Stephen R Covey

Conscious change is brought about by the two qualities inherent in consciousness: attention and intention. Attention energizes, and intention transforms. Whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life. Whatever you take your attention away from will wither, disintegrate, and disappear. Intention, on the other hand, triggers transformation of energy and information. Intention organizes its own fulfilment.

Deepak Chopra

I know exactly what I want and I give my two hundred per cent to it. Other things, then, just take a backseat... It'll goad people around you to automatically tune themselves to your kind of thinking and approach. And believe me, it works.

Palash Sen

Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn nothing without being taught. He can neither speak nor walk nor eat, and in short he can do nothing at the prompting of nature only, but weep.

Pliny the Elder

Life is always a discipline, for the lower animals as well as for men; it is so dangerous that only by submitting to some sort of discipline can we become equipped to live in any true sense.

Havelock Ellis
