How important is self discipline?

I'm 19 but i think i don't have any feats(achievments) to say,I look back and feel as if i had the potential(I have dabbled in playing music,practising ambidextrity,academics,soccer,tech ) but lack of self discipline has been my curse.

So what do you think..How important is self discipline?Will it help me become who i want to be i.e a awesome individual with great character?

Very important. Though you will meet people in society who will not have any, and you will be tempted to be like them. At the end of life from what i have seen, the self-disciplened life ends up being the more happy life.

It's very important, it helps you think situations out more rationally.

It has kept me from butchering that annoying kid named Jamie.

****ing fat ass trying to sag skinny jeans.

Oh I don't know OP, you say that lack of discipline is the reason you have achieved nothing whereas you could have. So how important is it?

Depends on your own principles tbh. Self discipline isn't essential for you to live a good life, but it is important if you truly want to reach the 'pinnacle' in any facet or even become the best you can in anything. Ultimately, it comes down to what you feel is important.

Self discipline is really just consciously choosing your behaviors and honoring promises you make to yourself.

Your life is too important to not be the one in charge of it.

The fact that you have the ability to engage in critical self-reflections and can recognize where you think you may have stumbled, is a good thing and should not be dismissed. Self discipline is pretty important because it allows you to focus your energy and resources into actualizing a self-identified goal. But, I also believe in the golden mean: too much or too little of something may not necessarily be ideal (in this case, being too rigid or being too flexible), though this usually is context-specific. Other important things include self-efficacy and self-forgiveness :)

Self-discipline will not raise natural-born livestock. Sorry.
