Feeling Empower

Hello hello all,

This week I am continuing with the Franklin makeover. Discipline is the name of the game this week. First let’s define discipline. The self-control that is gained by requiring that rules or orders be obeyed and the ability to keep working at something that is difficult.

Prior to this exercise I would get up and notice people going to work or the people in my workout groups posting completing their workout for the day and this was my primary ideal of discipline. Yet during the week it has come to mean so much more.

Since the start of this Master Key Experience, I have been witnessing discipline without even realizing it. All of our requirements every day and every week have been a discipline. The readings everyday have been a daily discipline. Our weekly webinar has been a discipline. The shapes, flashing index cards and even the mental diet has been a discipline.

What I have noticed is that I was striving to be something that I already was. And all I had to do was become aware of this virtue to conclude that I am disciplined. Could I be more disciplined? Absolutely. Yet simple awareness of a thing and attention will make anything grow.

Stepping into discipline and becoming it made me conscious of all the ways I was expressing this virtue. Then knowing that I was disciplined made me more disciplined. It’s funny how we are more likely to notice what we are not instead of what we actually are, which in turn makes us less of what we are and more of what we are not.

Self-awareness is huge. I wasn’t doing my workouts because I believed that I needed more discipline but when I know that I am disciplined I do the workouts. Simply by identifying it in myself and others has activated my belief and awareness.

Also creating this habit by practicing for the week has really helped me understand where I was with this virtue, where I am presently and also what is possible. I’m still noticing kindness from last weeks practice. Reflection is huge.

The inner world truly creates the outer world. We cannot be what we are not, and this week, what I know for sure is that if you can learn to become aware of the thing that you think you lack, you may just find it in yourself.

Peace and Blessings
