While the term 'discipline' may often refer to punishment, or self-discipline as being an unpleasant chore, actually the word comes from the same root as 'disciple'. This simply means that we are dedicated and enthusiastic about something. All of us have something we enjoy, spend time being involved with, learning about, and sharing with others. We can actually be disciples of these hobbies or interests. Same is true with our inner life. If we can bring this same interest and enthusiasm toward self-growth and improvement, we can make some of these lasting changes that can be so difficult at times to approach. Be a disciple of health, an apostle of self development, dedicated to being the best you that you can be.
