Perfect aim means nothing if you never shoot

Discipline services two primary functions:

  1. Drive action
  2. Restrain action

That is the main job, the first responsibility of discipline—to make you do or not do something.

If you do not activate that purpose, whatever else you think your discipline is doing is a distraction. What good is perfect aim on arrows you don’t fire? What use is a fast car you can’t steer or stop?

Only after fulfilling discipline’s two primary functions do its secondary duties become relevant and valuable.

Event + Response + Outcome. Do the work.
