The Implementation of Discipline
Discipline starts with waking up early.
It really does.
But that is just the beginning;
you absolutely have to apply it to things beyond
waking up early.
It is working out, every day, making yourself
stronger and faster and more flexible and healthier.
It is eating the right foods, to fuel your system
correctly.
It is disciplining your emotions, so you can make
good decisions. It is about having the discipline to
control your ego, so it doesn’t get out of hand and
control you.
It is about treating people the way you would want to be treated.
It is about doing the tasks you don’t want to do, but
you know will help you.
Discipline is about facing your fears so you can
conquer them.
Discipline means taking the hard road—the uphill
road.
To do what is right.
For you and for others.
So often, the easy path calls us:
To be weak for that moment.
To break down another time.
To give in to desire and short-term gratification.
Discipline will not allow that. Discipline calls for
strength and fortitude and WILL.
It won’t accept weakness. It won’t tolerate a breakdown in will.
Discipline can seem like your worst enemy.
But in reality it is your best friend.
It will take care of you like nothing else can.
And it will put you on the path to strength and
health and intelligence and happiness.
And most important, discipline will put you on
the path to FREEDOM.
