The 7 Levels of Awareness: Discipline

Level of Awareness: Discipline
Let’s say a person has been meeting to go to the gym. When January 1 comes around, they start to go to the gym. However, if they lack the discipline they’ll go right back down to aspiration. They’ll surrender what it is they really want and forget about their goals and give it up. They’ll revert right back to their old way of thinking which will cause them to go back to their old way of doing things.
Now discipline is giving ourselves a command and then following through on the command. It’s saying I’m going to make a commitment to grow spiritually and then we begin to do the activities necessary to fulfill it. It’s saying I’m going to spend more time with my family. Do you know how many business people there are today that are at the level of aspiration? At the middle level of awareness when it comes to their families, they’ve been meaning to spend more time with the wife or husband, they’ve been meaning to spend time with their kids, they’ve been meaning to get together with their siblings. Yet they never get around to doing it. So again, discipline is giving yourself the command ‘I’m going to spend time with my family’ and then you simply make the time.
So we have to be disciplined in this. The Science of Getting Rich program is specifically designed to help you grow in the level of awareness to recondition some of the behavior patterns that have been programmed in our mind, which will challenge the convictions of some of the beliefs we hold on to that limit us from doing this and that make us believe we can’t do this.
Now, the reward we get for discipline is experience, which is our next level of awareness.
