Discipline as an Essential Skill
Ascended Master, Serapis Bey’s Weekly Message ~ October 18 - 25, 2013
Received by Julie Miller
Discipline is an important ingredient to your spiritual development and personal growth.
Even though there are many among you that are aware of this concept, fewer understand its purpose and that it is required to be a part of your life every day, not just when you feel like it if you want to succeed and progress.
If you look closely at those that are most successful, you will see behind their story that discipline and focus was an important asset to their journey, and discipline dear ones is vital to all that you set out to do and to accomplish.
In order to lead others, the leader, teacher, instructor, etc., must be able to demonstrate great restraint, tolerance and patience - this takes daily practice of working with your inner most feelings, learning to let go of what is not really important and focusing on what is that will lead to the further development of your strength.
Anyone who has dieted, tried to end a debilitating habit, began a new project or task understands how easy it is to be distracted and that it takes great strength to remain firm and on target.
It does get easier with practice and with practice your confidence also rises which helps to promote what it is you are trying to achieve that is positive and good.
You can have all the movement you want dear ones, but unless you bring in discipline to hone your skill, what you demonstrate will be erratic; there will be no smoothness or direction.
Take a look at the most influential athletes, you will learn they follow certain rules and regulations and you will also see they train not only their physical bodies, but work on their self from the inside by making healthy choices because they have a goal in their mind and their focus is sharp.
This does not mean mistakes cannot happen to those that are firmly disciplined, it just means when errors occur, they are already in-tune to what is occurring and know quickly how to proceed to make the appropriate corrections that will bring about better results next time.
It is well understood dear ones that when you enable discipline as one of the tools to your success you are also bringing in stability and a firmer foundation to your whole life.
Discipline has a way to teach and instruct you to become more responsible for the choices you make and to respect what you have chosen without ridicule or harsh judgements.
Understand that if there was absolutely no discipline the world would be in even deeper chaos than what is going on now - every single person would do what they wanted, without being accountable for any harm possibly being done; it would a world devoid of compassion, respect and love.
Fortunately when you add discipline you are showing consideration, you are promoting good and God-Loving behaviour that makes life a lot more enjoyable for you and those closest to you.
When you consciously demonstrate discipline and self-restraint you are illustrating to those around you that you have control of your Self because you comprehend that without control of your mental and emotional faculties that disaster can result and we understand you are aiming for favourable outcomes from any and all situations you are currently working through.
Mental toughness may seem difficult dear ones, but truly it isn’t. Becoming more disciplined does require a certain amount of sacrifice, but the rewards are always worth the effort. If you only put in partial energy into a task, then your outcome will be incomplete - less than what you truly wanted to achieve.
When you commit with discipline, and you apply this skill in each step, your outcome will be that much greater. Focus is a key player dear ones in determining a successful outcome.
Learning to stay on track and not to deviate from your goal takes great strength and determination, but nothing is every impossible when you wish to achieve something enough.
Becoming more disciplined is not an entrapment to hinder your growth, it’s actually freedom from lethargy and slothfulness, it also brings liberation from astronomical demands and expectations of others; becoming more disciplined will help to dissolve fear and bring you into understanding that your path will lead you to new and unexplored areas for your discovery pleasure and it’s okay to step forward gleaning all you can in order to attain more knowledge and apply this information as wisdom once you have absorbed it through daily application and understanding.
Under the positive influence of self-discipline and restraint you will be able to come home to your own individuality and discover your strength within the goals you have set out for yourself to accomplish.
You are no longer a slave to something; you become master of that particular skill. Learning how to see your journey with a positive mind-set that is disciplined will provide you with incredible inside information of your Self.
Only you can bring this knowledge to the surface, and we are confident that with patience, tolerance and time you will come to know every part of yourself with the understanding every day will bring new and exciting possibilities for you to learn and grow from.
There are many among you that don’t follow the understanding of discipline being a form of freedom that is because for some folks, discipline is merely a word that means they must work harder without freedom. Have you ever tried to learn a new language, possibly from having to move from your birth country?
The discipline required to learn the verbs, nouns, how to make sentences and to converse requires a great amount of hard work, but in the end the person learning the new language can communicate effectively and through the ability to communicate new knowledge is able to be gained and life continues to bring new joy, love and consideration along the way.
Sometimes dear ones, hard work doesn’t bring rewards at the end of the day, sometimes your efforts accumulate and over time they create something big and fantastic.
Be steadfast in your efforts, focus on what you wish to achieve with all your heart and soul and you will succeed.
Challenges will always present themselves and learning how to deal with them effectively and efficiently will help speed up the process and continue the flow of positive energy.
Comprehend dear ones that working more disciplined and restrained your actions are in accordance to what you are thinking rather than what you are feeling.
When you are on the path of bringing change into your life through dieting, overcoming a unhealthy habit or something of a similar nature you may be tempted to want what you know is not good for your body, when you make an alternative decision that is healthy and equally satisfying you are staying true to your goal and not promoting the feeling of guilt that often comes after indulging in a temptation that you were trying to avoid.
Understandably dear ones, your modern world is filled to the brim with temptations even if you are not dieting or trying to end an unhealthy habit. Bringing in change always comes with obstacles and challenges and for each person they will be different.
We know it can be difficult to stay on track and to maintain your focus but think ahead dear ones and envision how it will feel when you are done - imagine your success and how good it will feel that you stuck with it until the very end. We know instant gratification leads to instant pleasure but then it flees and is gone, leaving you with wanting more soon after.
Discipline is crucial to your journey as an essential skill as it provides you with different options depending on the choices you are about to make that will bring you to your goal.
When you have everything under control and are moving forward with every effort to accomplish what you set out to reach, you have also given yourself complete authority to take on any challenge and overcome it because you are confident and know where you are going with or without the hindering ability that some challenges come with.
It is understood dear ones that discipline is a skill that can be strengthened at any time when you put your mind to it. If you are going to make a promise to yourself or to another dear soul, make sure you come through and keep your promise.
Learn to align your actions with your thoughts and exercise your mind and body into better shape.
When seen objectively and with a positive mind-set, you will be able to see even while practicing discipline and self-restraint life can still be enjoyable. It’s important to find a healthy balance between your work and leisure.
Becoming more balanced can be a struggle for some dear souls, but with daily work and effort, little by little this skill can and will become improved because your goals and dreams depend on you growing a strong will and unwavering determination.
Regardless how you may feel some days, discipline reminds you that perseverance brings you to what is good for you and to the outcome you have been looking forward to.
Learn to understand the enemies of discipline and how to manoeuvre around them. Certain pleasures and desires can be powerful and can easily derail you from your goal.
When you are hit with difficult situations, or doubt has crept in, this is when the outcome to your goal becomes harder to see and you need to focus a little harder to get through the doubt that has clouded your vision.
You will find a focal point that will help to prevent you from being too distracted by the many temptations that have the potential of bringing your goal to a halt or to becoming incomplete.
The focal point you choose that will help you to stay strong will help you remember what it is you are working so hard to accomplish; it could be your child, your partner, maybe a promotion or a move to a new neighbourhood.
We know within you, the Will that has always been there can be made stronger.
Having stronger discipline and more restraint will improve your life and give your journey an enormous advantage - remember discipline is the connection to your goals becoming accomplished.
