Let us evaluate what self-discipline means. Self-discipline requires an honest look at our strengths and weaknesses. It means building the will to say no when a powerful appetite inside us screams yes. For example, when we utilize self-discipline, we can (1) say no to friends and situations that will lead us away from Christ, (2) saving our virginity until marriage, and (3) say no laziness. Self-discipline is a long, steady course in learning attitudes that do not come naturally and channeling our inner desires toward God’s purposes.

1 Corinthians 9:25
25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
