Owner, author, explorer.

Your discipline belongs to you. Whatever it is, whatever it becomes, wherever it leads, you are its sole owner. The only one who decides. The only one with authority over it. The only one who can keep it out of your life. The only one who can make it part of your life.

I mentioned last week that the biggest barrier to discipline is not discipline itself but how people perceive it. People often perceive discipline as a pre-determined box they must fit rather than a box they must design and build to suit their needs.

Nothing about discipline is pre-fixed. Your discipline is yours to envision and explore, to craft and develop, to polish and refine. It doesn’t belong to anyone else. Your discipline has no author but you. If your page is blank, you have not written anything. If you don’t like what’s on the page, tear it out and write something new. Something that works for you.

Build your discipline into what you want it to be for the reasons that drive you, or neglect it for reasons you also decide. Either way, it belongs to you, as do the consequences.

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
