DISCIPLINE YOUR LIFE

Do things that are hard to do: discipline is a necessary part of a successful life. The easy way out is for losers. Life will not coddle you out of your troubles, so don’t waste yourself in complaining and whining. Want some examples of discipline? Master your thoughts and have a spiritual practice! These take discipline at first, but they become something you love to do because they work.

Serve others as well. Do something nice for somebody. Reach out. Give of yourself. Make the world better with your caring. Love beauty and be curious. The world is incredible even if we’ve messed it up! Listen to uplifting music and read uplifting books. Create something. Learn something new.

Look after yourself. Take care of your body. Don’t eat junk. Drink pure water without chlorine and fluoride. Get adequate sleep. Have a stress elimination routine (like a daily spiritual practice) and get exercise. Spend time in nature. You need nature because you came from nature.

Master your thoughts. How you feel influences your thoughts, your thoughts influence your actions. Realize that your thoughts fuel your emotions. Emotions change for the better, but not when you are locked into negative thinking! Break that debilitating loop by disciplining yourself to keep your thoughts positive. Look at the proverbial glass as “Half full” instead of “Half empty.” You are forging a doorway out of your misery.
