Discipline Is a Teacher

How disciplined is your life in relation to your dream? Ask yourself questions such as these: What am I using my energies on? What am I putting my heart and soul into? Is it worth it, based on my purpose? Where am I investing my money? Your vision dictates where you put your resources. Are you buying things that you don’t need? Are you so much in debt that you can’t channel your money toward fulfilling the vision in your heart?

What movies and television programs am I watching? Are they helping or hindering me? What books am I reading? If you’re only reading romance novels, you are living in a fantasy world and not living out your true dream. What am I taking into my body? There are talented, gifted people who are dying prematurely because they consistently eat food that isn’t good for them. If you’re going to make it to the end of your vision, you must take care of your health.

What is my attitude toward life? If you know where you’re going, you can keep your attitude positive. When things go wrong, you can say, “That’s okay. This is only temporary. I know where my true destination is.” Paul said we should discipline our thoughts to think about what will build us up:

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Philippians 4:8).

Choose to live well! Associate with people and be involved in things that are conducive to your dream.

Prayer: Father, all that I have and all that I do

should be dedicated to You and should lead me to my dream. I submit my energy, my money, my entertainment, my books, my body, and my heart attitude to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thought: Associate with people and be involved in things that are conducive to your dream.

Reading: Jeremiah 22–23; Titus 1
