Self Discipline Affects Self-Esteem

I really enjoyed the book "Eat That Frog". Here's a little excerpt:

Elbert Hubbard defined self discipline as "the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether or not you feel like it or not."

In the final analysis, success in any area requires tons of discipline. Self-discipline, self-mastery, and self-control are the basic building blocks of character and high performance.

Starting a high priority task and persisting with that task until it is 100% complete is the true test of your character, your willpower, and your resolve. Persistence is actually self-discipline in action. The good news is that the more you discipline yourself to persist on a major task, the more you like and respect yourself, and the higher your self esteem. And the more you like and respect yourself, the easier it is for youto discipline yourself to be more persistent.
