No other single requirement for individual success is as important as self-discipline . Self-discipline , or self-control, means taking possession of your own mind. . . . All of the principles of this philosophy are for the express purpose of enabling you to develop control over yourself. The matter of self-discipline is one of the greatest of all essentials for success. Indeed, if one cannot master himself, he has little hope of mastering anything or anyone else. . . Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you do not control your thoughts, you cannot control your deeds. Therefore, in its simplest form, self-discipline causes you to thinkfirst and act afterward. Almost everyone automatically does exactly the reverse of this. People generally act first and think later—unless they take possession of their minds and control their thought and deeds through self-discipline .
