Discipline really means our ability to get ourselves to do things when we don't want to.

That kind of flexibility helps people sustain change, and it's also a way of treating yourself with kindness and respect.

When you know who you are, and live it, you are at home in the world.

That's what makes it a resolution. It's more likely to succeed if you go through all of these steps before you make the resolution.

Realize a resolution is a decision. It needs to come from inside, rather than what somebody else thinks.

Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.
