Delphic Maxim #21

Cling to discipline

One might jump to thinking punishment when “discipline” comes up. But it’s more like being firm with yourself getting things done. For example, I try to discipline myself to pray every day (I forget a lot) and to do an offering prayer once every Sunday (when I am in a fit mind to). This can also be secular – like being disciplined to work out every day, or to eat three meals a day, or to say something nice to someone/yourself every day.

If you can take some self control to work consistently on improving your life, that’s what you’d be doing to follow this Maxim, in my opinion.

Glory to the Gods
