Discipline As Devotion
Yo YO Yooooooooo! What up H3:33 Fam Bam! Guess who BBiiizzaacckkk hahaha nah, it’s Wednesday so you already know what time it is. A new….Note from the Journey. Hot off the presses 😁How ya’ll doing? Holiday season is RAPIDLY approaching and that can bring stress and/or other negative feelings(but hopefully also feelings of joy). Try to stay grounded, PRESENT and find ways to pour back into YOU!
Last week I mentioned that I started a YouTube channel and that the “Power in Presence” entry was inspired by my first YouTube short. Well, I’m keeping the same theme this week and that means that this post is/was inspired by my second short that I also posted last week.
Reflecting back on my journey……and DISCIPLINE…..I can readily think of examples in which I severely lacked discipline and times in which my discipline has been militant like.
So let’s get VULNERABLE…….
Back in 2019-2022…..I am pretty sure that I believed I was a HIGHLY disciplined man. That would not have been an accurate or inaccurate reflection of me at the time. Let’s call it a half truth haha …..So….I was extremely disciplined in three aspects of my life. Fatherhood, physical fitness, and my career. The good thing is that all of those three items fall under the “physical” domain in the H3:33 equation of wholeness. The bad thing is that there are three other domains a man must master in order to achieve BALANCE.
Another big thing about only having discipline in the aforementioned areas is that there was a MAJOR area that lacked discipline in the physical arena……and that is the flesh. Not being disciplined enough to control LUST……was and had been a huge hurdle in my life….causing chaos and turmoil.
Discipline isn’t about perfection….its about alignment…..
I believe that most men will see discipline as CONTROL, but real discipline is devotion….
Devotion to your PEACE…
Devotion to your GROWTH…
Devotion to the man you’re BECOMING…
Discipline isn’t about perfection….its about alignment…..
Alignment between the MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL, and physical domains of the self. Finding the balance necessary to become your most authentic self. Creating DAILY routines that help cultivate, grow, enrich, and maintain your alignment within.
True discipline isn’t about control……it’s about SURRENDER.
Surrender to the process. Surrender to the vision God placed within you.
Discipline becomes devotion when you stop forcing outcomes and start flowing in alignment.
Healing builds strength. Rising builds legacy.
Check me out next week for another glimpse into the Journey! If this post sparked questions, comments, or reflections. Feel free to comment below, hit me up on YouTube, IG, or TikTok. I’m always down for a thought-provoking discussion or feedback for growth.
