Discipline or self-discipline is the willingness to control or correct ourselves in order to be better.
"I keep my body under control and make it my slave, so I won't lose out after telling the good news to others."

SELF-CONTROL

As part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, self-control is very much needed it every aspect of our life.
Can you relate some of your experiences where self-control is needed?
As we understand and learn self-control we must also see what controls us? Is it …

a) Holy Spirit / spirit
b) Mind
c) Emotions
d) Feelings
e) Body

To help you understand the above, think of how a baby grows and how he is control by factors he cannot yet control.

Do read up on
Galatians 5:22-26

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Galatians 5:22-26
