Discipline is the action step that makes solutions materialize.
Those who are mentally tough know that their own accountability, focus, and hard work cause positive outcomes.
In other words, optimistic people know they control their own lives because they tirelessly translate hope and confidence into success through disciplined action.
In this way, discipline delivers success.

Discipline applies to all aspects of mental toughness, from following through on articulating and refining your life purpose and priorities, to setting and evaluating goals, to focusing on the tasks that deliver leadership performance and drive the achievement of your win.
Without following through on any aspect of the plan, you jeopardize your success.

That’s why developing discipline is the last, and most essential, mental toughness fundamental.
