I've had an unfulfilling life so far. Although I think it's better to spare you guys from another blogpost similar to the ones posted here everyday, after some inteospection I concluded that my dissatisfaction towards life mainly stems from the fact that I've been unable to consistently commit to many things that could've made me achieve personal growth or a bit more overall happiness . Thus, once again, how can I *start* being disciplined?

Discipline is just the strength that comes from building habits. It's the reluctancy and refusal to ruin those habits once formed. All you need to do is decide what habits you want to form and then make small actionable steps to form those habits. Doing it consistently and routinely until it solidifies. Then you got the discipline.

Discipline comes after the formation of habit, not before. Most people got it backwards and lament they have no discipline because they find themselves unable to do shit. They can't do shit because they need to start shit. Starting requires allowing doubt fear or anxiety without apology, but doing it anyway, starting the habit while feeling no motivation or feeling crummy. Just start it anyway and see it through, allowing yourself to feel weird about it. You'll know the habit formed when the crummy feelings go away and quieten down, because the habit becomes your new normality.

Then you got discipline as a result.

Interesting that you pointed that out, since I'm extremely perfectionist, to the point where I've given up on many things (such as hobbies) because if I couldn't perform flawlessly every time I engaged with certain tasks, then I would choose to not do them at all. It's been like this for a decade or so.

So there's the big obstacle to work on, perfectionism. Perfectionism ironically sabotages chances of achievement because it doesn't allow the necessary process to occur which leads to success. That necessary process is imperfection, mistakes, failure. You actually need those to learn and adapt. Without them you never reach your ideals.
