This morning as I was having my personal quiet time, I came across a reading on “Discipline”. What caught my attention was how it related to people I deal with sometimes getting organized who feel that discipline is a form a punishment – completely missing the more constructive meaning of the word. Discipline, as my reading defined it, is order, training, practice, study. How true is that with getting organized. Without it, our lives are ineffective and full of chaos.
Discipline, like organization, is a tool of self-respect which can produce a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. I talk about this fact in my keynote, what image are your portraying? One of discipline or one of chaos? When we discipline ourselves to have an organized environment at work and at home, our heart sing because of the emotional freedom that we feel.
We all have choices, My experience has been it’s easier to accept the discipline of an ordered life.
