Well... Most of us have heard about discipline in schools, colleges, institutions, life and offices.... But, I really... really wanna figure out what it exactly means...
Today, I had a discussion over it with somebody... I love to talk over anything though but I don’t appreciate it much when I am being told to commercialise my blog or something about how to take further my love for photography... And I actually don’t think I need to have discipline in my life when it comes to the things I really love to do..... I love doing things at odd hours... by skipping my meals or sacrificing my sleep... And that’s the fun in doing the stuff you love....
Sometimes, we just wanna enjoy certain things beyond the boundaries.... Hit the unknown... explore everything to the extent beyond one’s imagination... And there I feel... discipline binds us to stick to something inside the boundaries.... Can you imagine a bird with a discipline...?? No, I can’t... :P And let me clarify being systematic and being disciplined are two different things... Again, in my opinion....
Someone told me.... discipline is in doing things you love on a regular basis... Well, I need to know... Can we materialise love? Regularly is what.... I love playing cricket I play it.... I don’t feel I need to decide certain hours and can’t play beyond that... Or I love writing blog so I should write it like a monthly magazine whether... I feel like or not. It’s like forcing a poet to write poetry without a mood... Or to compel a painter to paint something.... Art is beautiful only when it’s made up of creativity and creativity comes only when you love doing it at your convenience..... It’s like forcing someone to fall in love with something because it’s supposed to be done :P
Discipline in that sense means you can’t play cricket for 10 hours in a day because you need to do other things too... but then what will be the fun in that? If a cricket lover can actually spare 10 hours once in a month or 2-3-4 times in a month to play what’s wrong in that?? And if he can’t take out time or don’t feel like doing is he/she being indisciplined? If this is being disciplined I am way happier being indisciplined. :P
I don’t criticise what different people think about discipline in life but in my opinion... It’s just being happy.... doing things systematically in your way without harming others, setting goals and achieving them... and taking care of your well being- spiritually, mentally and physically... Rest everything is allowed.. :P
I dunno whether I am disciplined or not as per others... In my opinion, I am... Except for my work out routine.... and food habits.... and sleep routine.... and meditation.... and meeting my friends... and few more things.... I am well organised.... ;-) but, then, I am human... I don’t wanna live like a machine... Yes, I need to do things I love but not for the sake of discipline but for my madness for it... :-)
God... Thanks for giving me this life and people around me.... I am really grateful to you.... Stand by my side..... I Love you... :-)
