When we begin to ask what the conditions of inner renewal are, we receive essentially the same answers from nearly all of those whom we have most reason to respect. One major answer is the emphasis upon discipline. In the conduct of one's own life it is soon obvious, as many have learned the hard way, that empty freedom is a snare and a delusion. In following what comes naturally or easily, life simply ends in confusion, and in consequent disaster. ... Excellence comes at a price, and one of the major prices is that of inner control. - From The New Man for Our Time by Elton Trueblood
What does your daily routine look like? Where are you most disciplined? Where are you least disciplined?
