Discipline derives from the latin, discipulus, which literally means, “to learn”. Disciple, of course, has a very different intimation than discipline, especially in our contemporary landscape. With disciple comes thoughts of, 'instruction, teaching, learning, knowledge': basically, a student of education.
What is the source of discipline?
You can receive instruction or guidance from one or many sources, but the source of discipline is not external. It is internal. Discipline is not obedience to someone else's standards to avoid punishment. It is learning and applying intentional standards to achieve meaningful objectives.
