DISCIPLINE

There is a lot of ‘go with the flow’ mentality in our human consciousness at the moment and there is some truth in this, yet something that is very seldom spoken about and has become fundamental in my life is discipline. We need to start acknowledging how important discipline is.

Self-discipline is the key to the love, the light and the freedom that we are seeking!

Self-discipline is how we strengthen our foundation. Our foundation is that which supports us though the ups and the downs of life. The stronger your foundation, the more you are able to move through the turbulent times of life with acceptance and grace. A strong foundation helps us to live with a sense of lightness, despite the heartbreak and challenges that we are faced with as humans. And what does it mean that our foundation is strong? It means that our daily habits, choices, and though-patterns are in alignment with our true selves; with that which we are passionate about, with our purpose.

And so why is self-discipline important in strengthening our foundation? We’re not always going to feel passionate and motivated, and this is where you must learn to be disciplined so that despite you lack of motivation you are able to stay committed to your vision, to your path. It means that you can keep your eye on your goal - whether it be starting a new business, finishing a project, your physical health, creating more space and time in your life, despite the turbulence around you.

So yes let there be flow, let there be sponteneity, let there be freedom. Yet don’t forget that it is through the container of discipline that we allow these in our life. The heart of creativity is discipline.
