🌎 Daily Motivation: Choose the Long-Term 🌎

Are you choosing to live for what you want most in life?

🎓 Let's Learn: Self-Discipline is Self-Love🎓

The definition of self-love is actually self-discipline. Okay, it's not that simple but without discipline for yourself there is no real love. 

Think about a parent and a child. Often times the parent must have the child do things they don't want to do though is in their best interest. Whether it be denying them candy at times, putting them in time out, or making sure they brush their teeth.

Discipline means training someone to follow a code of rules or behavior with consequences in place if broken. So, self-discipline is when you are training yourself to follow rules that YOU set in place... The alternative is lack of control over yourself and your unconscious taking over.

So to truly love yourself you must put rules in place to protect your health, sanity, and self-esteem. You must take care of yourself as if you were caring for a child or a sick loved one.

It surely takes a hit on the ego to treat yourself as a child, but it is the only real option. But instead of baby-proofing a room you must create a mindset that protects you from falling backwards. One must pay close attention to themselves to ensure they are cultivating a healthy environment.

This can only be done through... Discipline! By completing difficult tasks each day and reaffirming your control over your thoughts. Those thoughts become easier to deal with and not so overbearing.

When you are running, and your mind says stop... and you keep going. When you are meditating and a thought pops into your head saying to quit and go watch tv...

That voice is the same voice that wants you to fall back into your old ways. By practicing daily to gain control over that voice, you protect yourself from it. So meditate, take cold showers, exercise, and do something difficult so when things get hard, you are ready.

🧘🏽 DAILY MEDITATION 🧘🏽

I can choose Love… or Fear.

I either love this moment and embrace it or fear and try to run away.

Love the now or live in the past and fear the future.

What is more powerful than Love??? Nothing!

Nothing hurts more, nothing inspires more.

Every Artist ever has been inspired by it.

So today, right now, Love the Moment.

Love yourself, and love what is difficult because without it...

There would be no improvement at all.

Say it! I Choose Love!
