Week 3 - 2: Discipline

Yesterday, we spoke about the importance of creating and maintaining inner peace. In order to connect to yourself and maintain peace within your life, it requires discipline. It is within harmonizing consistency, routine, and order that you can instill discipline into your life.

Discipline is the force that determines the rewards or consequences that we will receive in our life. It is through discipline that you create the reality that you live. For example: you wake up every morning without brushing your teeth, bathing yourself, or maintaining your hygiene. The result that you'll receive over time would be infections, an unpleasant smell, and overall health issues. Whereas, if you do the opposite - you bathe yourself, apply perfume, and take care of your oral hygiene. The result would be great health conditions, and attracting positive energy.

It is important as a Spiritual Person, or as someone seeking a Spiritual path, to begin to incorporate a hygienic routine that honors yourself. Your body is a temple. Self-Construction does not just consist of the evolution of your consciousness, but also the care and respect that you have for your body. As you present yourself - clean and with respect - that is how everything you are seeking will come to you. Within cleanliness you see beauty, self-care, discipline, and respect. It is through the discipline of cleanliness that you will begin to cultivate the peace that you are seeking in your life.

Discipline is logical, and requires the harmonization of your senses to maintain. Many times we create goals that we would like to achieve, and set the plan to get to the goal - but as we start along the path, our emotions begin to distract us. Emotions make us create the illusion to ourselves that we are advancing, but we are just moving in place. Advancement and movement are not the same. There are years that come with goals that we set to achieve, but we get to the next year, meeting another birthday, and still have no progress.

Our emotions influence us to think that if we focus on something without any action, that it can come into fruition. It isn't true. Just as the Four Emanations of life: Emanation, Creation, Formation, and Action - everything in life, even nature, requires discipline, consistency, routine, and attention in order to receive an outcome. And if you seek to make progress in your life, you must apply those principles.
