I agree and while we have an abundance of choices, I think that boredom has also sky rocketed. It sounds counter intuitive, and depends on the person, but that is my observation. People do not have to work as hard for the abundant amount of choices in their lives and so they are not as rewarding as they once were. And like you said, Self discipline is huge at this time to keep anyone on the path they want. It's to easy to become scattered with all of the different options available.
