How I discovered that Discipline is my Superpower

Discipline is my superpower
And I activate my superpower with my Effort
And I activate my effort with my Vision
And I activate my vision with my Heart
And I activate opening up my heart with my conversation with my Teacher
And I receive guidance through my expression of my Gratitude
And I activate my gratitude through my daily practice of listening in the Stillness
And I supercharge my discipline with my choice on where to place my Focus
And in each moment I practice the effort of letting go of F.E.A.R
( false evidence appearing as real)
And in each moment that I am given the clarity to let go of fear and choose instead LOVE
I am given the gift of Grace
And grace for me is every opportunity that I am aware of my Abundance
And I experience my abundance by being in the Present
And being in the present affirms to me that in the stillness I am connecting to Prescence
And stillness requires Discipline

Last year, I discovered that discipline is the superpower that I have been looking for all my life.
I went through another health challenge that required big changes in my habits.
I have learned from my trauma, drama & karma, that running makes it worse and it is best to just roll up the sleeves and do the work, and I have done this over & over again with varying results, depending on my efforts.
Challenges have come to me in all the major areas that can get our panties in a bunch.
I have experienced Financial, Health & Relationship challenges many times, including getting lost for a time in the dredded Bermuda Triangle of Broke, Lonely & Out of Shape.

In the past, I dealt with challenges by putting more effort into my suffering then I did into my healing. I was stuck in the old belief that I can only change with a bulldozer bearing down on me and that the gentle approach was for weaklings. I was stuck in an old belief that if I hold back my complaints that I will suffer in silence and nobody will be able to see that I suffering and I will drown in my stew of trauma, drama & karma.
What I have come to observe is that each time that I choose to put more effort into my healing and less into my suffering, I experience Grace.

Grace for me, is when the messy process of healing is accompanied by profound moments of clarity, gratitude and joy, and I experience joy when I get that feeling of being lite up from the inside so much that it must bubble over into my expressions to my outer reality.

The more that I choose healing over suffering, the more I am able to express my truth, my gifts, my heart in my daily actions and this leads to a decreased desire to live in my suffuring and increases my desire to make bigger efforts with my healing, so I can live in my Joy and experience the fruits of my Visions and the connection to all in a state of Love.

When I have let go of seeing Discipline as the ruler slapping my wrist and instead embrace the practice as a superpower to ignite my joy. When I have let go of seeing Discipline as the Hall Monitor and embrace Discipline as my Coach, I am then able to up my courage to play big with my Personal Growth Plan and celebrate my connection to the Great Mystery
and that for me is my inner game of the Hokey Pokey- cause for me that is what it is all about.
