A principle from YHVH:
Colossians 3:23-24 (LSB) Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. Serve the Lord Christ.
Mike Tyson dropped pure wisdom on JRE:
“You don’t have discipline? You ain’t nobody. Nothing.”
Then he hit the killer line Cus D’Amato taught him:
“Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.”
Joe Rogan nailed the follow-up: master that and you can succeed at anything.
I’ve got plenty of things I know I should do that I straight-up dread. The days I force myself to attack them with energy instead of dragging my feet? Those are the days momentum actually shows up.
Talent and motivation are everywhere. Discipline is what separates the ones who actually make it from the ones who stay “almost there.” In a world full of distractions and easy dopamine, this mindset feels like a cheat code most people never unlock.
What’s one thing you hate doing but know you need to do and how do you trick yourself into loving the process?
Praise be to God the Father and Jesus, His son. For without Jesus, we are nothing, but in Him we are redeemed and have a right to be called a child of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (ESV)
_For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God._
John 10:17-18 (ESV)
_For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”_
“Be careful to do all the words of this law. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life.” Deuteronomy 32:46–47
God’s Word, his Way, his Truth, our life.
“The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17
When the King reigns by his Spirit, we
do right,
make peace,
feel joy.
... the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps His covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes His unfailing love on those who love Him and obey His commands.
Deuteronomy 7:9
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
- 1 John 3:1 (NKJV)
“God fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.” Deuteronomy 8:16
God humbles us to do us good.
