The more you're used or getting used to something, the more habits actually you yourself are starting to develop. So we humans are beings of habit. So the question is, if 20 years long you lived a type of life where there was not a lot of discipline involved, you can still develop it, of course, in the 21st years and onwards. But before that, we have to somehow balance out these 20 years of your habit of being un undisciplined. So what it means is the older you get, the more habits you already have, the more difficult it will become to change any of them. So this is why starting as early as possible is the easiest way to actually program yourself, condition yourself in the right direction of what type of habits you would like to develop in yourself.
