I find it difficult to sit down and think about my life. I tried every possible best to figure out my gift and my God giving talent. Please, can you help me know who i really am?

I have two things to add:
I get up early and find I have a clear mind to plan so I make
1. strong intentions by imagining how happy I will be as if I have completed the task right now

2. Fasting– I get up early and take in a spoon full of honey 30 minute before I eat something pleasing yet nutritious and drink fresh juice and lots of water, then take I don’t eat or drink until Sunset.-WHY? when you eat extra air liquids and blood must go to the stomach and associated organs which take from blood air, nutrition etc. need for high level thinking and discipline. Also around or just before Sunset your energy level is at its highest points and you burn more calories, exercise with stronger gains and think clearer.

Note: Try breaking your fast with dates and spring water. The recovery value found in dates is nearly scientifically unmatched. after 15 to 20 minutes I like to have a healthy smoothie, green goodness or light healthy meal.

I remind others to start with short hours if neccessary, work at your level but stretch just beyond the edge in order to grow and we all slip or make a mistake at times and eat or drink something. consider it a gift and discontinue eating and attempt to make it until sunset.

peace

It is right on, the hard part is to keep increasing the things in my life and my beliefs that need discipline. I go to the gym at lunch and my co-workers always comment on that. Truth is I have been doing this for almost 15 years and now cannot remember what it is like to not go to the gym at lunchtime. I needed discipline and it turned into blissipline. I can name many other things that I am doing now out of habit that once I needed will power or something just to get me started. I am a true believer in discipline, schedules, and keeping up a routine. I have found that this has really freed up incredible time and resources for me. Yesterday I went for a run on the beach after I got home from work. Then I went for a swim in the ocean. That was in ADDITION to going to a yoga class at lunchtime. I get up every morning at 5 or 5:30. This might sound like bragging, but in truth it is just having set in motion a few disciplined acts. If I can do it, anyone can. Thanks to Hani for reminding me I am on the right track. Because of all this my spiritual life grows exponentially. As Elvis Costello will sing to us “Whats’ so Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding?”

We are creatures of habit. Creating good habits that lead to our welbeing do initially take effort. Giving up smoking is a fine example, or taking up a hobby that’ll become life giving when we know how. We do need to go through the time of transition — an uncomfortable time — but we’ll enjoy life far more afterwards.

I know that the word discipline stands for a lot of success. Watch out not to put too much restriction on yourselves. This life means change, so your discipline also must change. I must have time to be lazy when I want and discipline stops me in that. Who he hell can judge this to be wrong. I know there are rules. The word discipline has more meanings. Discpline say a lot about must. You must sleep early, you must eat this, my opinion Bull shit. I think when you working for a special goal its nice to have some discipline, at that time, to garanteed it. With willpower you will succeed better. Be happy, or fake it till you make it, be creative, awareness, alertness is also very good. Never give up or give in when you really want or don’t want something. Try to live your dreams and if you don’t make it, don’t bother, you succeed in other things. Thats important in life and not just discipline. I even don’t like that word. Maybe preparing as habit for doing certain little things is what i see more as discipline and not big offers, otherwise, you lose a lot from living other expieriences, that life offers. You live only half. You may never experience life complete, you may not know what failure is, depression etc. is. The other word i hear daily is not to procrastinate. I am a champion in procrastination, so who cares. I reach almost all my goals i really want. Maybe some time later. One more thing you can not be succesfull all the time and in everything. So don’t worry be, or fake be happy till you are and don’t worry too much about discipline. It gives you stress. Discipline is for crazy people who are sometimes to much ambitious and never reach out to help others. They have discipline to meet with and do not have time to waist on nobody else, only for themselves. I thank you, remember, this is my personal opinion about discipline. May God bless you.

Thank you for your words of wisdom.. .
I find singing a positive inspired song everyday.. helps uplift the emotions and conciseness. It makes you feel and look great and motivates you instantly. Singing gives you unstoppable confidence and happiness… and brings harmony and love to those around you… Take the time to learn how to sing well from a good vocal coach… it will be the one thing that you do for your self that can turn your world around..

This is very interesting to me. I am in a unique position right now to be able to do whatever I want with my days, and yet Most of the time I end up doing nothing or feeling like I haven’t accomplished anything. I have made positives changes that have become habit, like eating better, drinking lots of water, no junk food or alcohol. I am a very creative person and am also a list maker. I acually love being organized. I have made two lists. The first is one that is Things I Have to Do.(responsablities) the second is Things I Want To Do.(this is where I get to have fun) I try to get as many things on the first list done as I can. The first list is things that I have to have finished within the week. Then I try to do at least three things on my second list. In a perfect world this is all going smoothly. But even though I have it on paper, I still get overwhelmed. Then things get put off for so long that I find myself rushing just to get things on first list done in time. not quite sure how to get out of this little rut. I feel like I’m wasting so much time. I’m glad I found this website-sounds like it’s right up my alley.

I too am a free spirit, but have always had areas of discipline in my life — without realizing it! Every night I write in two journals — my daily summary and my gratitude journal. i exercise every day and make a list of important things that must be done to avoid trouble. I have found focusing on what I love and the positive outcome for those things I do not enjoy (like cleaning the house) makes the unpleasant tasks easier. The best improvement I have ever made in discipline was to allow myself to take little steps. I stopped forcing myself to finish every task all at once and found that getting the job done was so much less stressful than when I thought if I started, I had to finish. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it works. Just giving myself permission to quit when I felt “bored” created the desire to continue! Discipline comes in many sizes…try it, you might like it.

To me the word discipline is a label for certain set of activities. Labels tend to take on an identity of their own becoming larger than they were intended. The word discipline is associated with motivation (to my mind) and represents a way less suited to the free thinking world of today.

To me inspiration (or reaching for the spirit within) is a far better way of helping focus on the list of some important activities that you have listed out.

So the ability to keep the attention on your intention, keep your center connected to your values and seek a larger objective for each one of us is the way forward.

Goals to my mind are not the results that you look to achieve only in the short term but it is allowing the fulfillment of your real potential

I think this is good advice. Having a child focused me on doing things that wouldn’t otherwise have been top of my list. But in an attempt to do all the things I liked doing as well as things I didn’t, I over did it and got ill. Now I seem to have found a balance and do stuff I have to do and stuff I like to do without exhausting myself.
