“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”
Jim Rohn
Discipline isn’t just about pushing forward; it’s about being fully present. In contemplative meditation, discipline is the ability to notice when the mind has wandered and the grace to bring it back, over and over.
This practice reflects life’s challenges. We set goals, get distracted, and often lose our way. Discipline is the recognition of those moments and the choice to start again. It’s the small but powerful act of recommitment that builds strength over time.
In both meditation and daily life, discipline is not rigid. It’s fluid, adaptable, and forgiving. It’s not about perfection, but persistence. Success comes not from avoiding distractions or failure, but from always choosing to return to the task, the goal, or the moment.
The ability to begin again—this is true discipline.
