“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment”

“While formally or structurally speaking, there are mechanisms of discipline operative in both the convent and the prison, in both the factory and the monastery, more specifically these disciplines and practices are aimed at very different ends. And here we must make an important distinction: we can distinguish good discipline from bad discipline by its telos, its goal or end. So the difference between the disciplines that form us into disciples of Christ and the disciplines of contemporary culture that produce consumers is precisely the goal they are aiming at. Discipline and formation are good insofar as they are directed toward the end, or telos, that is proper to human beings: to glorify God and enjoy him forever.”

“Its not about the goal. Its about growing to become the person that can accomplish that goal.”

“It is important that when we make a resolution, or establish a goal, that we take the ACTION necessary to accomplish that goal.”

“Attitude is that little thing that will make the most difference in the accomplishment of your goals.”
