Developing self-discipline is not an easy thing to do. You have to have a goal in mind and an incredibly strong will which is what can increase your determination and willpower to that next level.
If you want to develop self-discipline, you have to have clear goals for yourself or put serious thought into the idea of developing good habits that can stick with you for life. Then respect should be there when the times get hard and you do not give up even when things don't go your way.
Some might say that it takes hard work and time investment, but truthfully only if used properly can it bring true success and happiness within yourself.
There is a quote by Denis Waitley:
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the majority of that time you spend at work won’t be on your career. The rest of that time is either spent with friends or family members or pursuing outside interests."
If you want to make progress in life, it's important that you respect your limitations and put all your efforts towards achieving your goal. With so many distractions around us now, it's also necessary to be able to say no and prioritize yourself.
Establishing a goal will help us set focus and execute more efficiently. What is even more important is we need to be willing to "pay" our way through the hard times; being patient while the process takes time will allow our efforts and perseverance to pay off in the long term. In this case, success means being present with someone close to you instead of surfing Facebook.
One of the other aspects that comprised self-discipline was the focus.
In order to develop self-discipline, you need to ask doable and measurable questions. Pushing your limits when using your magic dream power is not wise, as not all dreams come true in reality. Self-discipline is crucial in any journey and keeping this fact in mind is key to success. You have to work hard for success and should be able to maintain coming back the next day for a new quest until it is achieved.
The only true success comes from an actionable question that you answer with data-driven decisions instead of traditional self-talk or what people will say about you.
A determination to succeed in a certain measurable goal starts with identifying your dream and then working hard to achieve it so ideally by building an army of people who are willing to join in the challenge with a positive mental outlook granted through self-determination.
If you have enough willpower and if you set clear goals, then you'll be able to live within yourself and in turn, bring positive outcomes.
Many times we experience self-doubt or fear, believing that success is a long waiting time ahead of us. We might feel like giving up because putting in the work and effort often seems difficult. However, if we tackle this doubt with persistence, then our dreams will come true soon after.
Despite the apparent sacrifice, working hard pays off. It’s being mentally tough that makes an immense difference more than anything else in life - determination equals success!
I've found that if you can create a permanent habit out of your self-discipline act, it doesn't feel a like a discipline measure anymore. The discipline act feels more like a way of living after few weeks of repetition. So keep doing your "push-ups" as long as you end up liking them and get used to them. But you're absolutely right, you have to have strength to push trough the times when you have difficulties to maintain your daily tasks on your way to success. 💪😎

This is so very true. Pushing limits might be why we aren't consistent in building what we have. Sometimes, hardwork isn't all about doing but thinking and channeling energy to where it is most appreciated! This is a very educative post. I loved it!
I appreciate your feedback @deraaa, you said it beautifully. Have a great day :)
