Even adults can acquired self discipline through practice if fuelled by adequate motivation, especially if self discipline is not the goal in itself but rather a means to a higher end.

But, how does one acquire said motivation?
I am not necessarily lacking in it - it comes and goes. But I do not really understand the underlying mechanisms.

Maybe you now do things you earlier thought you should have done because the motivation for some reason is stronger now than before?

So, what is the key to acquiring such motivation?

Unwanted desires need to be repressed through self discipline, though they, to some extent at least, can be diminished if ignored.

It seems like repression works for some - but for othere they just wind up, well, repressed.
