Discipline is one of the most misunderstood things, because people think it’s always punishment.
When in reality, it’s a form of self-respect; literally trying to get yourself disciplined within situations.
I’ve come to realise that a lot of the things we struggle with, come back to how we treat ourselves.
Discipline is not about being hard on yourself and punishing yourself for everything that happens
It’s about being responsible for yourself. It’s doing what needs to be done even when you don’t feel like it. Taking care of your health, showing up for your work, taking responsibilities for your actions, keeping promises to yourself and making sure to fulfil them.
And every time you follow through, you build trust with yourself. And that’s where real confidence comes from. Confidence is not just how you appear and how well you can speak up and stand up for yourself.
It’s how much you trust yourself to show up, to handle situations properly and to stand on your decisions.
And knowing your worth is not something you say, it’s something you demonstrate for everyone to see through your standards.
Through your boundaries, and through what you accept and what you walk away from. Because people will only treat you based on the boundaries you set. People cannot overstep their boundaries if they realise your boundaries are clearly set and seen.
If you accept less, you will keep receiving less and vice versa. And this is not always easy because sometimes it means walking away from things or people that you’re used to or fond with, but growth requires that.
You can’t build a better life while holding on to things that don’t align with it or things that go against your personal will for your life. And when you start becoming more disciplined, more responsible, more self- aware of situations that happen around you and doing things that need to be done wisely.
Becoming more intentional, you’ll notice something.
Your standards change and when your standards change.
Your life changes for the better.
