discipline wins

We all must suffer. One of two things. The pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment. I'm going to be honest with you. There's not many things in life, I would say that I fear. But the one thing I know I fear more than else is getting to the end of my life and feeling a

sense of regret and disappointment. For not chasing my dreams, but not giving it my 100 percent, selling myself short. I'm actually terrified of laying on my deathbed. Not because I'm afraid of what comes next, but because I know I was given a life to steward it well.

And my fear is getting to the other side and having regrets for not stewarding it well. So how do I avoid that? How do I make sure to put into action the dreams potential that I have? Discipline. The late nights, early mornings, the ability to push through the pain and discomfort, I heard someone once say the difference

between where you are and where you want to be as the pain you're willing to endure. And it takes discipline, takes discipline to get there, to push through the pain, to stay on task, to finish strong, to take the correction and get right back up and get back at it again.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time. It's painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who are trained by it. So don't forget, my friend and discipline wins.
