“What art thou drawn and talk of peace? Peace I hate the word as I hate HELL, all Montague, and Thee!” - Tybalt from Romeo + Juliet

Much like Tybalt states that he hates the word peace in this scene of Romeo and Juliet. I hate the word “discipline”. Whether this word is related to my spiritual life with prayers, reading the word or prayer.  Disciplining my body such as exercising, making sure my teeth don’t go yellow and taking care of the body. Or even taking care of the emotional aspect of my life, discipline is something that I am not fond of. I am sure every human being can say the same thing yet discipline is so necessary in every aspect of our lives that much like the definition states it improves us as human beings and as a result it cannot be just placed on the side because we do not enjoy it.

No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. – the 1st letter to the Corinthians

Time to live self-disciplined.
