Discipline

Self indulgence makes us slaves to our egos while self discipline and restraint are portals to real freedom. – Daniel Lapin

I finally get how discipline and freedom go together.  While super exciting… it’s kind of sad.  It’s revealing that I’ve never been very disciplined.  BUT let’s not focus on that.

I finally get it.  Now that we’re disciplined with our finances when I do spend money I have no guilt and I know it won’t hurt later in the month.  It’s actually so freeing.

No longer am I slave to my urge’s or societies pressures.  I’m in control (via God) and I tell my money where to go rather than it telling me.  It’s so nice.

Now that I get this whole concept I want to apply it to other areas in my life.  I’ve never been very disciplined because I never saw it as freeing.  I always saw it as constricting and controlling.  I’m so thankful that I get this now because it’s HUGE!

Onward!
