Dinner before Dessert:
My dear friend! The simplest rule in the
practice of self-discipline is to eat "dinner before dessert".
The habit of taking the easy way, cutting corners, get rich quick mentality, doing what is fun and enjoyable, or eating dessert before dinner becomes stronger and stronger, and it leads inevitably to personal weakness, underachievement, and failure.

By and large, bad habits are easy to form, but
hard to live with. Good habits are hard to form, but easy to live with. And as
Goethe said, "Everything is hard before it's easy". It is hard to
form the habits self-discipline, self-mastery, and self-control, but once you
have developed them, they become automatic and easy to practice.
In general, when the habits of
self-discipline are firmly entrenched in your behavior, you start to feel
uncomfortable when you are not behaving in a self-disciplined manner. I have a
good news for you. The good news is that all habits are learnable. You can
learn any habit you need to learn in order to become the kind of person that
you want to become. You can become an excellent person by practicing
self-discipline whenever it's called for. When you master the power of
self-discipline, you will become unstoppable. I charge you become unstoppable
now by practicing self-discipline!
