The Role of Discipline Now

"The Masters in the Art of living make little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their minds and their bodies, their information, their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which: they simply pursue their vision of excellence at whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing."
-James A. Michener
Discipline acts as a catalyst for me to understand how my body and mind work, both separately and together. So that I can learn, how and why they perform in the manner, which they do under the stress of training or competition. Discipline also makes me approach going to the studio as a job, because inspiration can strike at anytime weather I want to be in the studio or not. It also suppresses the self-doubt that often haunts me while I’m in the studio. Training and Triathlon nearly dissolve that self-doubt completely.
