Discipline

Anything worth doing is worth doing all the way.

Some times I get so wrapped up in the big picture that when I immerse myself in the details, I give up.  I feel as though I must know what I am working toward to be able to pursue it.  If I dont have this "vision" at the front of my my mind, the small tasks and details feel like rowing with one paddle;  lots of energy spent going no where.

I am starting to realize, though that this mentality is a cop out.  Or at least it is not working for me.  If everything has to be clearly laid out before I begin exerting, most times I will never start.

Discipline for me, then, is following through on an agreement (with myself or others) even though I dont have a clear picture of the outcome. 

Discipline is the fifth of my five core values.
