# Discipline over Comfort
|
|
|
|
Who is the one in control ? Who is taking the decisions in your life ?
|
|
|
|
## **When the Body chooses**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over time, ever since you were born, you gathered a heap of food that you call your body.
|
|
|
|
Over time, you have let this body of yours do what it wanted or prefered.
|
|
|
|
The sweet and good-tasting food and drinks, the sweet comfort of the bed, the heater turned up high, or maybe even substances that you didn't need in the first place...
|
|
|
|
**Now, if you were locked up in an empty room for one week, with just 2 meals per day, could your body remain at ease the entire time ?**
|
|
|
|
Tell me, are you truly the one in control here ?
|
|
|
|
## **When the Mind chooses**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over time, ever since you were born, you gathered a heap of information from outside, that you call your mind.
|
|
|
|
Over time, you started to believe that you were things that you have never been, and you have strongly identified with those things.
|
|
|
|
With those identities that you have gathered, your perception of the world has narrowed, to protect that which you identified with.
|
|
|
|
With that narrowed view, and with most certainly shame being brought upon ignorance, you have also started to believe, things that you do not truly know.
|
|
|
|
Few of those beliefs, may include things that you do not truly want, and things that you do not truly need.
|
|
|
|
**Now, if you are being left in a room for one week with nothing to do, could your mind remain quiet, at ease the entire time ?**
|
|
|
|
Tell me, are you truly in control here aswell ?
|
|
|
|
## **You are not this Body, nor this Mind.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is this Body a weight that you have to drag every day? Or is it a reliable tool at your disposal to do anything you want ?
|
|
|
|
**You are not your Body, your Body should not get to decide for you.**
|
|
|
|
Is this Mind an unstoppable cacophony ? Or is it a platform for you to reflect on the past, act in the present, and project into the future ?
|
|
|
|
**You are not your Mind either, your Mind should not get to decide for you either.**
|
|
|
|
If you want to claim to be the one in control of your life, **Discipline is the answer,** for your Body, and your Mind, before anything else.
|
|
|
|
Why does it matter what your Body wants, or what your Mind wants? Should they do their own thing, and not take orders from you ?
|
|
|
|
**Your tendency to give in to Comfort is what has led you to forsake the control you were supposed to have over your Life.**
