DISCIPLINE; A GREAT VIRTUE


                                             LEARN TO BE DISCIPLINED

‘The cost of regret far exceeds the price of discipline’ – Dan Green

If you ever want to get to the peak in any area of your life, DISCIPLINE is what you will never want to joke with even in Spiritual things.

It causes great pain when you find yourself in a mess that could have completely been avoided only if you had been a little more disciplined, the regret is usually inconsolable.

Have you ever done anything / taken any step/ made any mistake that you deeply regretted afterwards? What immediately comes to your mind afterwards?  Don’t you think about what you could have done to avert that error?  If you discover that you could have averted the mistake if you had been a little more thorough or disciplined don’t you feel worse? That’s it!

How laughable is it when some criminals in court regret their actions after being caught and they blame it on satan especially the rapists, inability to delay their sexual urge for some minutes landed them in a show of public and everlasting ridicule. I wonder what enjoyment they derive in forceful sex which is dangerous and painful to both parties and worse still damaging the lady’s self esteem; many of them commit suicide or live with shame thereafter. Some go the extent of raping a minor (I wonder what’s appealing to them), recently I read of 7 men raping one lady!!!
Many of these cases are due to inability to exercise self control over sexual desire!!!

 I personally consider it a barbaric act that must not be swept under the carpet.

Great men don’t just get there overnight, they have set of rules they abide by on a consistent basis; that’s the discipline I'm talking about.

Learn to go that extra mile, delay that self gratification, burn that midnight oil, learn to pay the price for whatever you want to achieve, be patient but consistent……YOU WILL ARRIVE THERE.

Good and lasting structures don’t just happen, it takes time; even God takes His time to build anything that will last.
Set up rules for yourself
Be disciplined enough to follow it
Be consistent
