You will either discipline yourself or something else or others will.
Lack financial discipline? The threat of shame and bankruptcy will oppress you, making it difficult to escape mere bill-paying survival.
Are you averse to delaying gratification? Then you’ll be governed by the most pressing, the loudest or the most demanding.
Do you choose not to manage your time? Then chaos and disorganization will control your life and blunt its impact.
Are you unable to control your temper? Then your relationships will be restricted to those who fear you.
Ultimately, personal discipline releases, rather than restrains; frees, rather than controls. What have you allowed to control you and your practice because you’ve been unwilling to embrace personal restraint? A written financial policy? Regular progress exams? Staff training? This week identify and begin taming that which holds you in bondage by being more disciplined.
