discipline is very important to me and I am aware of it's necessity, but the problem is, I'm just terrible are it. I am a freshman in college and have not idea what the hell I'm doing. granted, I've made VAST improvements and learned a lot (more outside of class than in). I feel like I am rather mature for my age cognitively and morally and have amazing powers of perception that are well beyong my years (no boasting or arrogance intended, I could write you a list of humorously pathetic flaws about myself). the problem is, I lack the discipline or skills to use these abilities effectively and I feel like an adult with the competency level of a child. I bring up the maturity thing because I believe most people are motivated by fear and compliance with authority, but I lack the ability to be motivated by anyone but myself. this is hard when one is confused and lacking direction. so this all circles back to my main question of, how can I become disciplined more easily and quickly and without causing myself stress or unpleasant feelings? thankyou for your time =)
PS: that's not to say that I think I know more than my professors, quite the contrary I've learned a lot from them and ask them for advice frequently, but that's just it, advice.
