CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Word to focus on today: Discipline

• • Definition:
    • Control gained by enforcing obedience or order
    • Orderly or prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior
    • Self-Control
  • According to Jocko Willink (decorated SEALS commander, Motivator, Speaker, Author) Discipline equals Freedom. Check out his podcast.
    • The only way to get to a place of freedom is via discipline.
    • If you want financial freedom, you have to have financial discipline. In order to have more free time, you have to follow a more disciplined time management system. You also have to have the discipline to say “No” to things like clickbait on social media, procrastination, unhealthy food, negativity, wastefulness, too much coffee, etc.
  • 2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
  • Encouraged the PAX to think about how this can by applied in their lives today. Whether it be with food self-control, spiritual growth, at work, with finances, child raising, etc. I know I have a need for more discipline in all of these areas.
