Self-discipline whines
discounting hefty losses...
Demanding dessert

I go to the conference,
she explains, no self-discipline,
no self control, just lazy
an F student

I agree, he has none
but neither do i,
no one taught me,
so how do i teach him?

"I guess we are losers"
She is angry...

This is not me
When anger consumes me
This is not me
I cuss, I shout
I let my tongue out
This is not me

I lose control
I lose self-discipline
I lose myself
I lose God
When I'm fuming mad
This is not me

A new Me born
Each time I get myself burn
And I, always hated myself

"Livid"

We have to find that space in mind

To create a self discipline that defines

The life we want, and which we need

Nothing that good ever comes easy

We have to focus and create that place

Where we can let our creative dreams escape

We have to find the motivation

To show the world our creation within....

Talent has never just one face
Your self-discipline  is needed
Your self-improvement also show
That you're also blessed by heaven
But you haven't noticed that
One Malaysian leader confess
I rather choose good character
Who will work for my country
Than has outstanding diploma
Who gallivanting in workplace
I stand in awe after knowing this....

You have to roll a six,
With four dices on the board.

The odds are not in your favor,
Playing a big game of chance.

Critics are saying it’s impossible,
But you still play in the tournament.

Self-discipline increases the luck,
Determination reduces the risk.

Regardless the outcome of the game,
A dream is better pursued than left alone....

Hillary Clinton has become legendary
Many states she will eventually carry
Power of concentration and self-discipline
That is way above most of the men.

No one is powerless against their addiction.
All that's truly required is to seriously practice self discipline,
and work on those issues of yours unresolved within,
that prompts you to hide behind drugs or abusive drinking.
I celebrated thirty years of sobriety by having a drink.
That was five years ago, and I can count on one hand the drinks I've had since....

Saints sight at senses and self-discipline
Solicit sanctity and salvation
Solitude, sustainable supplement 
Shows spiritual scholarly sources
Showers significant serene success
Subjugating suffused sullen sorrows.
Seclusion sketches spotless sacred souls.

The one thing I absolutely love about texting,
is that I can complete a full sentence without any interruption.
This has become acceptable behaviour among the majority of the population,
but interrupt me while I am speaking and that's the end of the conversation. Regarding that kind of behaviour I have zero tolerance.
I refuse to drive myself crazy because others lack self discipline....

What has to be done must be done
Lazing around just will not pay
Grab hold of yourself and move on
Do what you have to do today

Despite the mood you may be in
Know time and tide wait for no one
Get busy, start the ball rolling
If not, you will be overrun

Hold on and sustain the effort
Though you may not feel to do so
Stand firmly for no matter what
Be assured success will follow...

Silence mourning,  you who've borne no children;
mute derision and bear it no longer.
Beg not for mercy if you are barren
for barreness may prove you the stronger.
Your fruit lies in the way which you conquer
scorn - apparent un-productivity.
Another's offspring -  your proclivity.
Teach them truths which bearers fail to mention;
teach self-discipline as necessity.
Deliver well, mothers of invention.

As oneness in consent, some hopefulness not spent
you bring to mind, in even kind, a spirit of advent.
Beginning Thy will's course, nor empathy's divorce,
I try my understanding, in your truth's whole resource.

No guesswork could proclaim, nor ego bring self aim,
I pray for nearness' unity in Thy complete remain.
A broken course might end, but courage still amend,
the spirit of self discipline, in Thee my noble friend!...

M-aximum self-discipline
A-ims to place under control
Y-our heart and mind, 
L-ife, spirit, and soul.
E-arly fourteenth of July, 
N-ever bow to temptation; 
E-ither wrong or error won't win over your conviction.

L-et your true faith work, 
U-sing your determination; 
N-ever succumb to sin, 
G-ive in not to bad situation.
A-llow your love to win and keep your living clean; 
Y-ielding not to iniquity, maintain maximum self-discipline....

I remember as a young boy
Sitting on top Mount Parnassus
Consumed in writing I enjoyed.
Mostly poetry to express
At the time my innermost thoughts
While below my childhood playmates
Romped and played and most often fought.
And myself trying to translate
Feelings into coherent thought
And writing them down on paper.
I recollect those times that taught
Self- discipline behavior.
Yet if I lived it all again
I would be one of those children....
