Spiritual discipline

Continental Divide. Spectacular to be here without vehicular traffic.

Spiritual discipline is creating habits you love by doing things you used to hate.

Automatic forgiving instead of grudges and hate.

Infinite gratitude instead of the victim’s mindset.

Being present to always know it can be worse.

Accepting and enjoying the fruits of your labors, guilt free.

Discerning your sphere of influence.

Nurture a handful of lifelong relationships.

Humbly serve rather than be served.

Knowledge wealth

Fun is panning out a bit to add context to this ‘Christmas Tree’ location.

Knowledge wealth.

What?

Knowledge wealth is your ability to learn from vast, often random subjects. This information goldmine can become a liability as easily as an asset.

We are easily distracted, entertained, and often medicated by the internet’s ability to provide instant gratification.

Our best plan/hope requires focus and discipline.

Let me say that again because we are not easily wired for focus and discipline…

Our best plan/hope demands focus and discipline.

Over-focus on sifting to your life’s top priorities.

An obvious top priority is wanting to prioritize your priorities.

The downside to being focused and disciplined – and ‘knowledge rich’ – is that you may outgrow some relationships.

Why?

Because being focused and disciplined with prioritized priorities is too much for most to bear.

Be mindful of this new frontier.

Let your prioritized priorities help you navigate wisely.

Fight hard

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

Harness your distractions

Harness your distractions.

What?

Know what they are and send them to your spam folder, then delete.

Repeat daily.

Additionally, know your superpowers and use them generously.

Gratitude, forgiveness, kindness, compassion, surrender, faith, hope, creativity, focus, discipline.

Thank you for going to Mass yesterday

Thank you for going to Mass yesterday.

It’s easy to rationalize skipping Church on Sunday morning.

There’s no personal or group accountability.

What harm can not going do?

The first skip makes the second skip easier.

The second and third skips make the fourth and fifth skips easier.

Enough skips and you start wondering why you used to go all the time.

The best time to go to the Doctor is when you don’t need to.
