Discipline

Discipline is showing up every day.  It is making your way through what seems like an impossible maze of possibilities.  Discipline can feel heavy, it can feel sterile, but in reality it is the foundation of all success.

When you show up when you would rather be lying in bed, you create a pattern that leads to continued positive action. I read the other day "Motivation arrives when the action is taken".  I think about the importance of action.  Ideas are easy, I can lie in my bed and dream beautiful dreams.  Moving into action takes willpower. 

Don't get me wrong.  The dream is very important.  I must create the vision of what I am wanting to bring into the world, but it can't end there.  Once I have created the meaningful vision, I must get into action.  Discipline is the means by which I direct my will towards something meaningful.  

This phase of the project is one of showing up for me.  I have so many pieces of the puzzle in play, and I feel like I am juggling flaming batons.  Discipline is also making sure my mental state is attuned an alert.  Meditation and prayer are critical for me right now.  

For anyone in their 3rd year of their project, I call you to discipline. Keep on Going, You're Doing IT!
