Discipline Not Desire Determines Our Destiny

Thought is the initiator of everything in our lives. But make no mistake. Thought is only the starting point. We cannot think our way to health, wealth, fulfillment or happiness.



Those who teach the law of attraction are doing many people a great disservice. They are leading people to believe that you can simply plant the seed and grow a garden. But any farmer or gardner will tell you that planting the seed is a good start but you must water, fertilize and weed if you want to get the fruit worth eating.



We can have the thought of what we want in life and get a clear vision in our mind of what our life will be like if we take the steps to achieve it. We can even write down the action steps necessary to make our dream a reality. But if we don't have the discipline to take action it is only a dream.



Discipline not desire determines our destiny.



And as we walk in thankfulness, we can lift our head and pray for courage and wisdom to navigate the rough terrain rather than praying to find an easier road to walk. So walk. Be aware. Look around. Listen and learn. Each step can bring knowledge and skill as we learn from our successes and failures.



Surely with knowledge, skill, desire and a few daily disciplines we will develop positive habits that will propel us to realize our hearts desires.
