Discipline is like creating an opening over and over again for Divinity.

I believe diligence and discipline are doorways to bliss once built. I am imagining columns of archways built with diligence and discipline which line an old Greek garden leading to a magical and blissful place. That is why I am awake and at the key-board again, because I believe there is something to discipline. Discipline though is not to be confused with neurotic control. There is a stark difference. Discipline is like creating an opening over and over again for Divinity. Control is like closing the door on Divinity It’s simple to tell the difference, discipline feels good when completed and control feels terrible, it feels tight. What is amazing about this system of discovering what mode opperundi that you are in is that you can use it anywhere anytime, the stipulation is, you have to be IN your body if you know what I mean. This is why sobriety and yoga are so incredibly important to a harmonious life. Both require the discipline of showing up on a regular basis and through it, we wake up to our true selves. So, even when it feels like a real challenge, I stick to my discipline and show up. Suit up and show up, as they say. Some famous person once said that 90% of life, is showing up. Showing up is a discipline. As Michael Beckwith says, it’s your “Blisscipline!”
