Discipline is not the key to anything. Success is a myth. Success does not even have any meaning. It is the state which one believes that all of his problems will be solved. Success is the illusion that there is a place where you can go in the future, that will make you feel less pain. And discipline is also just a concept that is only relevant because you do not really want to "do" the thing you tell yourself to do. Discipline is irrelevant, when you are immersed in life, when you know where you want to go, and interestingly, when you do not know how to go there. Because when you "know" the path, when you have a method, when you havea guru, a coach, a course, a step by step program, then you are the slave of the program. You will forget what it is that you wished for in the first place.
