self - discipline & self - control

There are 2 kinds of pain: pain of discipline and pain of regret.

DISCIPLINE is a small price compared to looking back with regret.

Self discipline and self control are learned habits. It takes a time to build that habit.
We tend to struggle when it comes to keeping away from a bad habit because some type of bondage forms. BE DETERMINED because new habits will come.

THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS.

Don't let the enemy(devil) convince you that you can't change. Don't let the enemy tell you what to do. It's doesn't matter how long you've been trying to change, the POWER that God has placed within us is stronger than the things you are going through now. Believe me, it's not going to happen over night. We have to quit making excuses. " I can't do this bcoz of that, I can't do that bcoz this happened, etc." < - - NO MORE OF THAT!

God wants to take us to a higher level. In order for us to do that, the flesh has to go down. You CAN'T always follow your feelings. Don't let your emotions take control. You want to have a higher relationship with God? Bring you flesh lower and raise yourself discipline to God.
When you feel sorry for yourself? That means you've already accepted defeat.

YOU HAVE TO SET GOALS.

The bible says the power within us is stronger than anything else. We need to press forward when we feel like giving up. It's doesn't mean the feelings will go away, it only means that our will feelings will raise up with the holy spirit. It means we're going to have to do what's right even if we don't feel like it. There's times when we know what to do, but for some reason we just don't do it. We need to set that thought aside and do what we must.

We know when were taking the easy way out. We know what's right, but it's so much harder. Human Nature, we tend to go crazy when we don't want to hear lectures. we don't want to deal with it now, we just want to run away. But the thing is, all these lectures will help you. It's not trying to make us feel horrible.

God is just tyring to help us reach our true potential.

You can have all the potential in the world, but if you're not disciplining your actions? You will never truly develop those true potentials.

We can't get something from nothing.

if you are willing to be disciplined in your life, you can expect a beautiful garden. There's not use of blaming the devil, your past, or the people around you. If you don't have discipline, you can only blame yourself.

We are all gardeners of our own lives.

If you want a good life, a good garden? Be disciplined. You are the gardener of your own life. If you simply learn how to discipline.

Not everything is going to further us in life.
It's not about just getting by, it's about living a non mediocre life.Do you know when you live an undisciplined life we become slaves to the worldy things. That includes anger, lust, money, etc.

If we want to be God's disciple ( His follower ) , we can't go by the things we want.

Don't procrastinate, Now is the time God is speaking to us. Remember, the pain your going to go through with discipline is smaller than the pain you go through with regret.

Self control and discipline is the line that sets from a mediocre life to a victorious life.
