Self Discipline is Self Freedom

Hello, and welcome to ""How Can I Make It A Better World?" All world one Happy Family.

At this site you will find my thoughts on how to make this, our world, a better place to live in, for us, and for our future generations.

I cringe with sorrow when I hear of bombings and war killings in the world news every day. It saddens me when I hear of family feuds. It breaks my heart when I hear of some one having had to undergo, and then bear, the distress of a divorce.

How could such situations be allowed to develop? What can be done for maturity of reasoning to prevail, when there is a difference of opinions, at any level, at a level of nations to levels of individuals.

Regrettably, I can offer no teachings to world decision makers, (they are far far more knowledgable) or tell others how they should think and behave.

So I am left with having to change my thinking and behaviour, and thus improve my world.

My recording those improvements I make to myself on this blog is with a hope that
some one else will also feel the way I do, and may find an inspiration to change his/her thinking and actions to make his/her world a little bit better to live in.

A Joke: A child is saying to his friend, "I want to report my Mum and Dad to the Police for cruelty to me." His friend wants to know what had happened.
The reply, "They send me off to sleep early,when I want to watch the tv, and force me to get up in the morning, when I just want ot stay in bed."

SELF DISCIPLINE IS SELF FREEDOM.

For many years of my life I used to be annoyed with having to do things I did not want to do.
I hated having to tidy up my room when I wanted to read a story book, or to have to go shopping when I wanted to lazy around at home.

I always felt being forced to do thiongs I did not want to do. I always seemed to be forced into doing something that I wanted to do at a later time.

To do anything there and then required great mental fortitude. To discipline myself was like tying myself up with ropes. It took away my freedom. Descipline meant being tortured into doing things I hated to do at that moment.

Now I know that discipline is quite the reverse. It allows me to do what I want to do. If I want to wash the car, I do it. Read a book, but more urgent to go out in the rain to do shopping first?
No problem. I can do the shopping now. Do that which is more sensible

Having a disciplined mind gives me freedom to finish the works I have started doing. Or do the
works I had kept off for ages from starting. My time keeping is improved. My habit of procrastination, which used to cost me a lot in agony any feelings of uselessness, has almost gone.

I want to do some work? Or I need to do some work? O.K. I do it. That's it. No hurt or frustration.

Hope you already have a better life because you are disciplined in your thoughts and actions.

Wishing you all the best, Shree 1.
