SEC | S11W3-""Discipline""

Take hold of discipline; do not let go. Safeguard it, for it is your life.”​—Prov. 4:10-13.

Discipline is a correction that trains, strengthens, molds, and perfects one into a better tomorrow.

Discipline is the action you take when trying, failing, and keep trying again and again until you get there.

Discipline, a visual reminder of what someone wishes to achieve in the future.

We have so many explanations of the word discipline mean. The way a child is been disciplined is not the same way an adult disciplines himself. There are a lot of sacrifices that are disciplined because you wish to acquire a particular thing.

For example, someone who eats just twice a day because he has a very serious task at hand to finish up before the fixed time is disciplined!

In life we all make mistakes and most times these mistakes are because of not caring and that is why everyone needs corrections which is discipline. No matter our age, young or old needs discipline.

Imagine there was no discipline, everyone behaves the way they choose, I think this life would have been a mess. There would have been no progress without discipline, people would keep making the same mistakes, keep failing because of wrongdoings, and not advance in ability or knowledge.

Oh! My dad was the disciplinarian. He never tolerates nonsense from anyone. I was disciplined by my dad all through my childhood till a youthful age.

My dad disciplined me and my siblings to the extent that whenever he travels, we feel so happy and wished he never returns 😂. This discipline was more on me because I was the only daughter, I would share a story with you.

I was the only one close to my dad but I was the one who receives the discipline more and my dad told me and my siblings not to ask him for money in the morning. He said we can ask him at night after he returns from work.

One morning, my brother asked my mom for some money to buy some books in school but my mom referred him to my dad, now he was scared of going to ask my dad because he knew the instruction. My brother sent me as dad's pet, imagine me, I went on thinking it was going to be simple because it was me.

My dad didn't even let me finish what I have to say. Immediately he reached for his cane, I ran as fast as my legs could carry. That was the last day neither I nor my siblings ever knocked on my dad's door in the morning.

Imagine if my dad had listened to me that morning I came to ask him for money, I would not take his words seriously. I would always return over and over to ask for money because I believe I was Dad's best. But he used another discipline measure for us to learn.

Discipline is love no matter how it is given. It can only take love to correct someone. Of course, we cannot correct our enemies, right?

A mother or father who disciplines his or her child is because they want that child to be the best among his equals, they want that child to be his best in the future. I don't think it is hatred when we are been corrected.

Although while growing up, I saw it as hate. I thought my parents hated me whenever they correct me but when maturity sets in, I begin to understand what they meant. Discipline is love.

Of course! Discipline helps kids grow into happy and healthy adults. Discipline also helps the kids know their left and right in setting goals in the future and also have self-control.

Imagine a child without discipline, he will always misbehave everywhere, and will people around would always ask if the parent of this child gave him home training at all.

But when a kid undergoes discipline at home, and she speaks outside, or displays an attitude, you would know that yes the kid has got some home training. So discipline is beneficial to kids.

To those who give discipline

Discipline to not by force, it is with love. When you want to correct either an adult or a child, there should be an atom of love in it. Nothing is achieved with our power and might. Always seek a good and peaceful atmosphere when you want to discipline mostly kids.

Kids would prefer that mom, dad, aunt, or uncle who corrects them with love. You can even spank a child with love.

To those who receive

Always try to accept corrections when you are been given one. This goes for me too, most times I don't accept corrections but when I relax and look into the matter so well, I see some sense in it and I take it.

Always allow yourself to be disciplined either by yourself or someone.
