regard discipline as a gift I give God and myself

i love this way of looking at discipline- as a gift!

After seeing this goal on Flutter’s list one too many times without doing anything about it I finally had to take action and copy it from her. I know many of you may think that I am already a very disciplined person by looking over profile but in reality it is far from the case and I am not saying this as an extremist. For me I think 43T paints a slightly skewed picture of me as most of the goals that I adapt are because I feel that I need them, and most of my posts are when I’m doing well as I rarely bother to post about them when they are not going well.

it seams that with everything that has happened to me I have finally learned that most of my problems can be avoided with just a little discipline.
I’m not saying that life doesn’t still have it’s problems, or that I can somehow control people from getting sick or your company from going bankrupt, but I can control how I act and to do that I have to discipline myself on a daily basis.
I have learned how important it is to keep myself in the word … everyday… and not just for a few minutes… I need to meditate on it … let it sink in and change my mind and my heart… when I do that I see a difference. I can handle things or should I say I know God will handle them so my attitude toward what is happening is that it is no longer a problem.

but if I’m not in the word everyday I fall
it takes discipline

If I look at discipline for this perspective ..as a gift that I am give to myself and to God How can I do any less?
