The Power of Discipline in Living a Fulfilling Life

The Power of Discipline

A Deeper Understanding

In today's world, the word discipline often has a negative connotation. It is seen as a rigid and limiting concept that restricts our freedom and creativity. However, this is far from the truth! Discipline is a potent tool that has the power to unlock the door to a fulfilling life that you truly desire. In the spiritual community, we often hear that we should only follow what feels good at that moment, and discipline is often disregarded or disrespected. In this blog, we will delve into the meaning of discipline and how it can help you achieve a more fulfilling life.

The importance of balance

The first thing to understand about discipline is that it is all about balance. It is not just about going against the flow and taking assertive action all the time, but it's about finding a balance between flow, intuition, and assertive action. It's about following your intuition that is aligned with your best interest and not doing something just because it makes you feel uncomfortable or using the excuse that you're listening to your intuition. Once you understand this balance, you'll find that discipline isn't about limiting your freedom but rather expanding it. 

It's not healthy to be rigid or overly strict with yourself, as this can lead to burnout and resentment. Instead, aim to create a sustainable routine that allows for flexibility and spontaneity. Be kind to yourself when you slip up and use setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. Remember that discipline isn't about perfection - it's about consistent effort and progress towards your goals. When you combine discipline and action with intuition and flow, you create a powerful combination that can help you achieve your dreams.

Discerning intuition

The second thing to understand is that our intuition often guides us to things that may feel new or challenging, but there will be an underlying feeling of calm and trust. This feeling of calm and trust means that you're aligned with your intuition. However, it's important not to use the excuse of following your intuition to avoid discomfort or responsibility. True intuition leads you to inspired and productive action that aligns to your desires.

Discipline as self love

The third thing to understand is that discipline is a form of self-love.  It's about reparenting yourself and taking responsibility for your life. It's about being accountable for your actions and taking delayed gratification to create what you truly desire. When you have discipline, you have the power to make the necessary changes in your life that you need to live the life that you want. Discipline can help you build self-confidence and trust in yourself. When you consistently take action towards your goals, you begin to realize that you're capable of achieving them. This can help you feel more confident in your abilities and trust yourself to make the right choices.

For example

The fourth thing to understand is that discipline is a potent tool that can help you create the life that you truly desire. To illustrate its power, let's take an example: Suppose you want to start a business, but you're too scared to take the first step. Discipline would mean that you take the first step even when you're scared. It's about doing what is required even when it's not convenient or comfortable, it’s about choosing YOU and having the courage to go after what you desire. Once you take the first step, even if it's small, it becomes easier to take the next one, and before you know it, you're here! You're running a successful business that you truly desire.

Finally…

Discipline is an integral part of spiritual growth and living a fulfilling life. It is not a form of punishment, but a form of self-love and responsibility. With discipline comes delayed gratification, accountability, and the ability to take massive action. Taking responsibility for our lives and reparenting ourselves can be a challenging and at times uncomfortable journey, but in the end, it's so worth it. When we live a disciplined yet joyful life, we can create the life that we truly desire. So, start small and work your way up because the power of discipline is truly amazing and fulfilling!
