You’re so right. None of these are easy. But then if they were then anyone would be able to easily achieve their dream. And it takes work. Discipline used to be easier for me. Now that I have kids and am a busy mom and am pulled in a hundred different directions, I find it much harder to be disciplined. I do think finding an accountability partner helpful. Sometimes that’s simply a critique group. I’ve also learned from my previously perfectionistic days to give myself some grace when I’m not disciplined. And I totally agree, that my day is always better and I am better able to handle anything that happens if it begins with quiet time with the Lord. I also try not to put things off that if I put off till the end of the day just won’t get done, like working out or walking. Thanks for joining in here! I’m glad you chimed in!

Discipline isn’t easy for me, nor is being consistent. I find that if I give God the first part of my day things run more smoothly. Daily Bible reading, prayer and quiet time to listen to Him puts me on track and helps me stay there through the day. Thank you for this topic. I am going to share it with a sweet friend/sister who needs a dream. God bless!
