How Discipline Will Set You Free
“I’ve learned over the years that freedom is just the other side of discipline.” Jake Gyllenhaal
When you hear or see the word DISCIPLINE how does it make you feel?
.
It always used to make me squirm, conjuring images of restriction and rules and rigidity.
.
Discipline seemed to be the opposite of my free-sprited nature, something to be wary of. A crusher of boldness and imagination and dreams.
.
But not any more.
.
Now I love the concept of discipline with a passion because I’ve come to realise that discipline enables us to be free.
.
Let me explain…
.
.
Discipline helps me get up each morning at six, to start the day running in the hills as the sun comes up. This in turn sets the tone for the rest of the day. I feel energised, alive, happy and calm. I write more and I write better. Discipline helps me create.
.
Discipline helps me eat healthily which in turns enables me to get more done to go more places to feel happier and lighter. Discipline fuels my dreams.
.
Discipline helps me create workable writing schedules which in turn helps me to up my production. I’m currently working on two book series and a script plus some freelance editing. This work load would have made me cry before but discipline keeps me calm in the knowledge that I will get it done.
.
Discipline helps me to meditate every day which in turn helps keep me sane in this crazy world. It reminds me to not sweat the small stuff and reminds me that Love is all that really matters. Discipline gives my heart wings.
.
Discipline and freedom are two sides of the same coin.
.
Discipline is the grounding that allows you to fly free.
