Discipline, according to www.dictionary.com,
means “activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill;
training.” If you check www.thesaurus.com, discipline can mean
“self-control” or “willpower”. It also
means “development” and “education.”
I often hear the phrases “I just have no willpower” or “I
don’t have the discipline.” With all due
respect, I say to you, “Duh!” You are
human. I am human. You can thank Eve and Adam, for none of us
are born disciplined. Think about
it: tempted by an apple on a tree. An apple?!
Eve! Come on! If it were chocolate cake hanging from the
tree or an extra cheesy pizza, I could see the temptation, but an APPLE? My point is you are human. Strive for progression, NOT perfection. You will not have a perfect day every
day. It’s called “life.” Look at the overall picture. Not one person is perfectly disciplined each
and every day. Using the terms mentioned
in the first sentence, “train” to be disciplined; “develop” your discipline;
and “educate” yourself on how you can be disciplined.
How will you stay disciplined physically, emotionally,
mentally, and spiritually?
