Morning Message:
SELF-DISCIPLINE Choices
When most of us hear the word discipline, we think of being punished or restricted or going to detention. But guess what - the word discipline comes from a Latin root word that means “learning.” So how did we ever go from discipline, meaning “learning,” to discipline, meaning a punishment? Well, we do learn from consequences, right? (Which is, by the way, what’s known as “learning the hard way.”)
So, what’s the easy way? The easy way is to choose to be self-disciplined...to be a self-learner...to look around and learn from others. Remember what Confucius said:
I can always be certain of learning from those I am with. There will be good qualities I can choose to imitate and bad ones that will teach me what I need to correct in myself.
That’s what self-discipline is all about. Today, choose to be a self-learner and discipline yourself.
With something to think about, this is Mr. Reeve reminding you to Be Kind, Be Responsible, Be The Best You Can Be. The choice is yours. Have a great day!
