“The fact is, discipline is only punishment when imposed on you by someone else. When you discipline yourself, it's not punishment but empowerment.”
— Les Brown

Simplified Meaning:
When someone forces you to follow rules or punish you for not following them, it feels like control or punishment. For example, if your boss tells you to work late even when you're exhausted, it feels unfair and harsh. But when you set your own rules and hold yourself to them, it's different. Imagine you decide to go to the gym every morning. You're doing it because you want to be healthier and stronger. This self-discipline gives you power because you're the one choosing to improve your life. So, taking charge of your actions and decisions makes you feel more in control and capable, rather than feeling punished.
