If you have ever been a little messy with your life, please tell me how did you overcome it.

You are already on the first step of the path of discipline. Recognizing the need and wanting to take action to fulfil it is always the longest and hardest part of learning self discipline. Please note...I said learn, not buy, or join, or anything outside of yourself. Others can of course help and guide you, but the will and strength come from within you yourself. I've lived a very messy life, and although through much effort I am much more disciplined it's something I commit to every day. I'm really sorry to say there is no quick or fast answer it's ongoing and sometimes discouraging, but over all, well worth the effort. Good luck in your journey!

The kid thing should be the inspiration. We rarely as parents give much thought to how much our children learn from us, even when we don't think they are, they're watching and copying our slightest actions, words and even thoughts. So what you teach them is how they'll make it through life. The rest is up to you. How do you become a more disciplined person? Discipline! If you have trouble, whenever you have a choice to make about a certain type of behaviour, if there's an easy way out, don't take it. Make yourself choose the hard way, even if it means sacrificing something. That'll tell your children plenty.

Nothing wrong with being a bit messy. Discipline comes easiest to people that are doing what they like. Life should not be always forcing yourself to do things you don't like to do...for the most part (there are certain things you can't get out of though). If you find yourself constantly needing to force yourself to do things, you need to think about what is motivating you and make some changes so you will like what you do more and won't need so much self control.
If you are a bit messy then chances are you are a bit creative. Use your creative powers to figure out how to work around your messy habits.
It is not as bad to be undisciplined as it is to be irresponsible. If you don't come through because of lack of commitment, be sure you do not inconvenience others-perhaps just yourself.

Know what you want to accomplish. If your life is messy, break it down and prioritize your life. What do you need to accomplish on a daily basis? What are the basic things you need to accomplish in order to get through the day. Stick to those things and make sure you accomplish them. If you are struggling with your job, make up a task list and check your progress throughout the day. Monitoring your ability to complete tasks will give you positive feedback and a sense of accomplishment. This will increase over time and you will find yourself feeling fulfilled and better equipped to handle new tasks. If you are lacking motivation, you need to find something you are passionate about or find something about your job or personal life that brings you joy and try to put as much passion and effort into this.

I am not sure how old you are, but have you ever thought you may have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) or adult ADD? My son who is 10 suffers from ADHD, which is the same as ADD but with hyperactivity. He is very disorganized, can't stay focused, can't remember what he is doing, or what he needs to be doing, lots of other symptoms. Since his diagnosis I have tried to learn all I can about it and trust me, it is very hard to deal with. It can cause severe depression and social issues. I see the signs in my husband and also close friends. There are many books that can give you coping skills and help you realize if you may have ADD. There are also natural remedies that you may try as well as medication that doctors can prescribe. Don't let it go untreated, it will not go away. You can visit ADHDnews.com and read symptoms on there. Good luck.

Know yourself. What are your "deal breakers" with people. I term it as finding your center. This does not mean that you should be rigid, but rather who you are at the core. Don't impose your "truth" on others. Find your peace. Be patient with yourself and grow as a person. Life is a journey.

Don't indulge your every whim. Make a schedule and stick to it. Make a line (in time-control, food, TV, et cetera) and don't cross it. If you say you'll do something, do it, and don't allow you or anyone else to talk you out of it.
