Discipline is the path to joy.

The other day, I introduced you to the first of the six paramitas (transcendent actions), generosity. Today, here are a few words about the second paramita, discipline.

I don’t know about you, but I had always assumed that discipline meant I had to punish myself to get myself to do what I knew I ought to. Oddly, this never worked… But when I discovered the Buddhist definition of discipline and that it had way more to do with relaxing than tightening up, I found my path to getting things done.

Check out this video for a few more words about this style of discipline + a 10-minute guided meditation.
