SELF DISCIPLINE

Self discipline is the tool to pull us out of this rut of self centeredness, stagnation, and into our heart. Self discipline is not about having good personal hygiene, being punctual, obedient, or tough. Self discipline has nothing to do with keeping your word, being consistent, or exercising. Self discipline is looking out at the world and saying, I’m not going to be petty. I’m not going to retaliate, I am not going to be jealous, or vain, or greedy. I'm not going to be defensive, arrogant or self centered. You will always feel these emotions, but with self discipline and vigilance you can keep from acting on them. sprpov@yahoo.com spiritandpoverty.com
