Every good achievement in life comes to you through discipline. Different disciplines come naturally to different people. To some people routine exercise just feels comfortable, not so for most. You will sometimes have to work hard to acquire certain disciplines. You work at it until it becomes habitual, a lifestyle, and no longer such a burden. Discipline of action - turned into lifestyle - is how you make lifelong achievements. We all have desires that can give us motivation, but without the discipline to act nothing gets accomplished. For most people brushing our teeth became habitual, a daily routine, from discipline. Discipline from our parents telling us to brush. Then the routine became a desire to have nice teeth. Discipline is easily misunderstood, often related to scolding or punishment. In this case it means consistent - intentional - action. Forced "white knuckle" achievements are known to have little residual benefits. The difference between positive discipline and "white knuckle" is your internal dialog. Consider having to watch sports if you don't like sports, probably to please someone else. All the time sitting there probably saying to yourself "I hate this, I can't wait for it to be over". Using that kind of negative dialog you will always hate watching sports. This is "white knuckle" and will never help, long term. Now consider watching sports, and saying to yourself "that was an interesting play, I wonder why they did that". As simple as that, change your disdain to personal interest so sports won't be so uncomfortable. Use this principle in your discipline, positive internal dialog. Be in a good place mentally; think good to be good.For sanity and self-esteem you need to find satisfaction and serenity in the means - the process of achievement. Acknowledgement of your effort gives you inspiration from the accomplishment of your effort. A simple way to say that is, give yourself a pat-on-the-back because you're trying.

- Autobiographical Life Synopsis -Dave Bye"While your beliefs may not be factually correct they are your truths. Until you prove them to be incorrect, you have an obligation, to yourself, to promote them." I won't to tell you your beliefs are incorrect, if they are opposed to mine, but I will tell you what my beliefs are if your listening.We all go through life in our own space, a space designed by GOD for each of us individually. In that space is everything we need to live our lives. We have everything we need to be who GOD intended us to be. The crux is that we need to be willing to accept our momentary position in human evolution. You may not be the CEO of General Motors [kudos to those who have] but you have a purpose in the world. If you work at a coffeehouse, imagine how many people depend on you so their day can go smooth. This does not mean to sell yourself short. We always need to stay open to, and looking for, changes in our evolution. Our rolls are constantly changing, effected by and affecting everybody around us. We have the gift of choice, and the choices we make determine our evolution. Being able to see the positives in a given situation helps us make better choices, expediting our GOOD in life. Again, "We have everything we need, in our space, to live our lives the way GOD intended".-GOD'S WILL-, a confusing thing to try to grasp. There are two things I think are obvious, 1- use our talents and 2- always be looking for new talents. It's important to stay open to your evolution, it's never ok to dwell on it or anything else. Dwelling creates an obsession, causing single-minded focus, shutting of your connection to GOD'S evolution for you. Now that I have made these statements, please feel free to read between the lines, inject your truths. I, like most people, have had a bucket full of quandaries in life. Every one of them has led me to another place in my evolution. I have learned through -- Learning disability, Bipolar disorder, Heart attach,
