To live a disciplined life one must humble oneself in order to submit to this lifestyle. In order to learn one must set aside his pride, which allows self-evaluation. Pride keeps us from admitting wrong doing, and thus prevents us from fully learning from our mistakes. We all know someone who is prideful, look in the mirror. Anytime you see someone or yourself hating to be corrected, there’s a good chance that person’s priorities don’t involve humility. As I’ve always said, “discipline yourself, so others won’t have to”. Are you a life-long learner? Are you humble at heart? Do you live a disciplined life? Pride keeps us from humility. Why not put it to rest today, take up your cross, and start following our Savior. There are no regrets when it comes to being sold out to Jesus, well maybe one, not doing it soon enough.
1 To learn, you must love discipline;it is stupid to hate correction.
