Discipline in Life, Redifined..A philosophical perspective..

Discipline, in Life , agreed is vital for success in life. But what do we do when the world around us has changed much in the past few decades, and years, more so? Take a long and hard look at it, decide that it doesn't concern us and move on helplessly?Or just shrug our shoulders and carry on with the business of life ,it's hustle and bustle, and its long and tiring ,shallow and monotonous tones? No dear friends, when so much can be done on our own, for the betterment of our own lives..what is most definitely needed is wisdom, a renewed attitude and a steadfast approach towards life...

On of the greatest thinkers of our times, Gandhi himself said thus, about change in life:-

"Be the change that you want to see in the world."



The Merriam-webster dictionary defines 'discipline' thus :

4)"training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character"
5 a) :" control gained by enforcing obedience or order"
b :" orderly or prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior"

*source: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/discipline

From a philosophical angle, here it goes:-

"To Live Well, Observe well, Listen well, Reflecting on the path or course of action that you have taken,or intend to continue with,
To analyse ,accept and correct your steps well,
To persist at it with patience,dignity, and faith in yourself,
To Smile and keep your cool well,
To grow well,Serve well, and to surely and steadfastly**, move well in Life.. "

(**The steadfastness & sureness comes about in life through self-belief, and a commitment to some principles and character in Life).
