Self-discipline through personal boundaries will enable you to achieve your goals.
CHARACTER TRAIT:
Self-discipline is necessary when keeping and reaching boundaries and goals. If one knows where he/she stands before a difficult situation occurs, he/she will be able to remain within his/her boundaries regardless of feelings that seem overwhelming — like anger or sexual excitement. It is important to understand that part of self-discipline is acknowledging mistakes and setting new boundaries in order to continue toward one’s goals. For example, those who have become sexually active can stop having sex and exercise self-control until marriage.
