Discipline is loving yourself enough to do what is good for you. ~ Rev. Don Ringness
Tomorrow is “Ash Wednesday,” the first day of the Christian Lenten Season, in which many folks choose to abstain from certain food, drink, or habits, as they move toward the Easter Celebration six and a half weeks later. This can be a healthy reminder of how beneficial it is to refrain from thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are not for our highest good. Truly, a well-discipline mind, a serene consciousness, and mindful actions lead us more closely to the emergence of the Christ Consciousness within us all.
Such a finely-tuned instrument invites the Presence of Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom to flow through us, keep our minds clear, our emotions tranquil, and our actions life-affirming and productive. These are the great rewards of choosing to “love ourselves enough to do what is good for us.” Rather than following the example of Don Quixote who, “got on his horse and rode off in all directions,” we present Spirit with a well-organized instrument through which Wisdom leads us powerfully into each greater step to this Divine Consciousness.
