I really enjoyed listening to this part of the series. What really stuck out the most was that discipline is a behavior. I always believed I was just an Undisciplined person. But now I am seeing that this is not the case. I just have some Undisciplined behaviors that I can change. It’s not like our nose or the color of our eyes or how tall or short we are. These are things that we cannot change. That’s what I used to think about discipline. “This is just how I am. I was born this way”. . . . Not So!!! This goes right along with positive thinking. If I can grasp my negative thought patters and turn them into positive thought patters, it will in turn lead to more disciplined behaviors. Because Undisciplined behavior is really a result of negative thought patters and emotional patters.
I think it is also fitting to mention that a relationship with people who exorcise good disciplined behavior will help me learn this behavior as well. After some Personal Awareness reflection I have learned that part of the negative thought patters and undisciplined behavior that is evident in my work and personal life is partly a result of certain relationships I had growing up. I learned these behaviors from those relationships. I think it is important and can see the great benefit in finding good positive relationships with people who demonstrate the types of positive and disciplined behaviors that I am lacking. I have also been looking at positive thinking and it seems like each day that goes by I am becoming more and more aware of my negative and positive thought patters which is really the beginning of being able to change those things. This is really about being the CEO of MY THOUGHTS! If I can learn to controll what goes through my mind, it will give me the ability to control how I act and react.
