===In religion=== Self-discipline is an important principle in several religious systems. For example, in [[Buddhist ethics]] as outlined in the [[Noble Eightfold Path]], both Right View and Right Mindfulness have been described as a moral discipline.<ref>Bodhi (2005), p. 153.</ref>{{complete citation needed|date=July 2023}} For some varieties of Christian ethics, virtues directed by the [[Beatitudes]] were preceded by [[ascetical theology]] and obedience-based discipline. This shift transformed the focus from the [[Gifts of the Holy Spirit]] to one of authority, which, though blessed, did not carry the same happiness as that derived from adherence and observances. During the [[Middle Ages]], [[spirituality]] and [[morality]] were closely intertwined.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bouchard |first1=Charles E. |title=What Is "Prudential Personalism"? Why Does It Matter? |url=https://www.chausa.org/publications/health-progress/article/march-april-2007/what-is-prudential-personalism-why-does-it-matter- |website=chausa.org |publisher=Catholic Health Association of the United States |access-date=18 May 2019}}</ref> The Beatitudes gained prominence as an organizational principle after [[Saint Augustine]]. However, Christian ethics as a form of discipline did not fully emerge until the [[Late Middle Ages]]. Alongside [[Lutheranism]] and the post-[[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment era]], obedience-based discipline coexists.<ref> According to the [[Qur'an]] of the muslim, "[t]he discipline is maintain with respect to time(follow the time management), obedience to rules and obeying and respecting to the elders. " </ref> According to the [[Catechism]] of the Catholic Church, "[t]he object, the intention, and the circumstances make up the three 'sources' of the morality of human acts."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P5T.HTM|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church|publisher=Libreria Editrice Vaticana|at=ΒΆ1757}}</ref> The Holy Spirit is essential for comprehending "the eternal Word of the living God, [and] must... open (our) minds to understand the Scriptures."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__PP.HTM|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church|publisher=Libreria Editrice Vaticana|at=par. ΒΆ108}}</ref> Self-discipline is how self-control is gained, and the way hope is maintained.<ref>{{cite web |title=1 Peter 1:16: Christians God-like Men, The duty and discipline of Christian hope |url=https://biblehub.com/sermons/1_peter/1-16.htm |access-date=18 May 2019 |website=biblehub.com |quote=Hope follows desire. The vigour of our hopes is affected by the warmth of our desires. The warmth of our desires towards the future depends largely on the turning away of our desires from the present.}}</ref>
