Discipline

  Discipline is not easy to grasp. Not one, nor many will truly ever meet full self discipline. Many scripts talk about discipline, but the most important type of discipline is self discipline. Many will never know it. To strive to become a master I am certain that you must learn self discipline.

 There is a few basic forms of discipline, ranging from a good work ethic to not over indulge. Also being well disciplined is a good temperament and to avoid situations that put you in harms way. A disciplined person should exercise and eat healthy. For one who is disciplined, all mysteries of the universe are explained. In the master's quiet mind is the strength of a wild tiger. Disciplining yourself is a never ending task and will require resolve and a whole lot of self control.

  Familiar discipline is something that does not come through you but through age. Your children probably will never do anything you ask, so it's best just to support them and lead them in the right direction. When they become adults, their up bringing will be your reflection and pride will be bestowed upon you. Never give up hope on your family and never shun them. Having a loving family is a true prize.

 Discipline can cause you to rise through the ranks of your profession and be admired by all. Yet, if you slip out of the grasp of discipline, all will fall down around you. It's best to find a happy medium. The body was not meant to be a recipient of punishment (no matter what we believe!) But is something that must be treated with care. No evil shall come from you, so why is there a need to punish yourself? The world is too big of a place for us to be unhappy. Enjoy the world's many pleasures when you are broken down.

 Discipline is something both monks and average martial artist strive for. It's not mastered over night. For you to progress down this path it will require much meditation and personal reflection time. Solitude may often be bliss for those who yearn to become disciplined but after all, what is a master without disciples? Train hard, keep your strength up and rid yourself of negligent ways.

 There's one more thing about discipline. Discipline is like none else. With enough practice, you will be able to do what was before impossible for you. The body has an utter connection with our psyche and spirit and as good chakra flows through your points, it will feel like you are reborn. An awesome feeling of ecstatic release. Positive energy will become you and you will want to become more disciplined. Practice indeed is the key to higher grounds.
