Decisions and the future
Discipline
Doing what we know is good even when we do not feel like it, consistently.
What the Bible can tell you
Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
1 Corinthians 9:25
All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11
Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
Proverbs 25:28
A human reading
Discipline is not punishment; it is repeated care. Start with something very small and sustain it. Over time, what was hard becomes a natural part of your life.
