now i don't know anybody who is against the
concept of discipline in life
most people i know if not all people i know
even people that do bad things by the way
even people that are not disciplined
would agree
that discipline is one of the fundamentals
that you need to deploy
in order
to be successful at anything that you need
to be successful at
right
yet
a lot of people
even that preach discipline are not
disciplined a lot of people
which is
like i say pretty much all people
or all people i know you might know some
people who don't value discipline
but in my circles everybody values what
discipline is
but are they able to be disciplined no
why is that
i guess it's because discipline
in my
african language
i don't know in yours
in my language if somebody says they're
going to discipline you if your mother says
they're going to discipline you it's
punishment so discipline
is somehow observed
as punishment right
like
a form of punishment is a little bit
disciplined there's a disciplinary
committee will get into that
to punish if you do something bad in a
school disciplinary committee sits in order
to give you punishment
therefore you associate discipline with
punishment and not reward and like i said
in the other video where i talked about the
pleasure principle
human beings would rather gravitate to
something that gives them pleasure or
comfort than something that gives them
discomfort
punishment is a discomfort a reward
is
comfort
think about that for a second
so that means to say that the way that i've
been conditioned and many other people
if you're lucky you've not been conditioned
that way there are people who have not been
conditioned that way there are people who
are disciplined and people would realize
discipline for what it is but for most people
discipline
is associated with punishment yet
discipline is not a punishment it is
actually what drives you toward your
purpose
and i'll get something that drives you
toward your purpose in life to fulfill it
and accomplishment
and accomplish it and make accomplishment rather
be a punishment
the real punishment is not making
is not being disciplined and not living
your purpose and not being motivated
he did and feeling terrible
because you haven't fulfilled your purpose
because in my own opinion a lot of
depression is rooted in not
having any purpose or not fulfilling any
purpose
every species is goal oriented not just
human beings and every species
with some form of brain that can give them
a thought process
would like to fulfill what they believe to
be ideal
and when they don't they get frustrated
which manifests as as a depression
so
what is discipline though
discipline the word sounds very close to
the word disciple
and disciple we know about jesus and these
false disciples what are they followers
they follow him right he is the master so
if you're disciplined you're following
things that will cause you to master
something to gain mastery because you're
following the master
you're following principles
so that you can create the
the the kingdom that you want to have
following principles that because the prince
have to follow the principle right
or the princess has to follow the
principles
to own the kingdom or the queendom
that they decided that
they need to own
this is just streams of thoughts
that i'm having on on the on the way
discipline right
and you realize that
like i say discipline
it's seen as a punishment
most words associated with things
that only disciplined person can do like
hard work
or really they say it's hard
work another associated with something
pleasant so from a pleasure principle
perspective
you should check out the video check my
channel
look for the the video on the pleasure
principle
everything
that's supposed to bring you good
always seems like a punishment
being disciplined
seems to be a way that says punish yourself
and to some degree
that's somewhat observable
because sometimes
discipline does mean doing things
that have to give you discomfort
but we discussed again in the video that i
recommended
that sometimes discomfort
is what leads you doing things that are
discomforting
is what leads you to have the things that
are not so discomforting and moves you from
your comfort zone to a higher level
so
i guess discipline is a commitment
to doing the things
that you don't you might not like to do you
might not enjoy doing but doing them and
committing them that's why we have a
disciplinary committee
discipline commitment disciplinary
committee
you have to make a commitment when you are
disciplined in yourself that i'm going to
do this i'm going to do one two three i'm
going to do eight BC pleasant or not
pleasant
but because it brings this outcome of
reward that's why i'm saying it's not a
punishment the fact that it's a discomfort
does not necessarily make it a punishment
not every discomfort in your life
is a punishment
they are discomforts that can relieve you
of certain things
if you have a sore tooth
that's already giving you a discomfort right
and you have to go to the dentist or
whatever and you have to get injected the
needle prick is discomforting
they might put some
topical anesthetic whatever they put there
so that you don't feel it but suppose they
don't the needle prick might be
discomforting to you
but the overall process
of what happened after that is naming you
can't feel any pain and you can remove the
tooth you just have to go to that
discomfort so was that discomfort or
punishment or it was a gateway to your
relief now i'm not saying everything that
has to come to you you have to feel
discomfort
but in my personal life experience i've
realized that a lot of things
that have been
that have won in
i'd go to a
i had to
appreciate a certain level of discomfort
and again
the more that you subject yourself to some
discomforts the more that you subject
yourself
to others
to
other forms of discomfort
like waking up early in the morning you
might wanna sleep a bit more
battling with cold water whatever
you are building your resilience to other
minor discomforts because sometimes
the thing
that's holding you from your desirable goal
is
a tiny discomfort it's not even a big
discomfort
the thing that's holding somebody with a
sometimes even let's say somebody who's in
pain with the toothache
is that maybe they fear just the discomfort
of an injection or somebody who needs to be
you know who's in discomfort with the
certain disease and they fear what the
doctor might you get what i'm saying so
we have to start seeing discipline as a
gateway to reward rather than a gateway
to punishment
that being said
please like this video share this videos i
want to do more and more of this
videos
any chance that i get to do those videos
also creating the discipline of doing that
sometimes things are not so favorable where
i come from and where i live
but
i'm trying to make that commitment and i'm
going to make that commitment to you to
give you videos on a regular basis
