Fortitude your discipline

Doing everything you’re supposed to do on schedule—can’t be what is meant by discipline. What is discipline then, if it’s not making yourself do all the stuff you know you’re supposed to do?

Walking on the path of Discipline without holding Buddha’s hand on it will be an in complete journey. His path is more about unlearning than learning so we can learn to uncover & unlearn to his light on his eight fold path which is also referred as steps.

The eight fold path is divided into three sections Wisdom, Ethical Conduct & Mental Discipline.

Wisdom Right View and Right Intention are the wisdom path. Right View is not about believing in doctrine, but in perceiving the true nature of ourselves and the world around us. Right Intention refers to the energy and commitment one needs to be fully engaged.

Ethical Conduct Right Speech, Right Action and Right Livelihood are the ethical conduct path. This calls us to take care in our speech, our actions, and our daily lives to do no harm to others and to cultivate wholesomeness in ourselves.

Mental Discipline through Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration we develop the mental discipline to cut through delusion. Many schools of Buddhism encourage seekers to meditate to achieve clarity and focus of mind.

Discipline is not running around the clock to make sure you are ticking with it to every tick. Something to which you flow naturally the word forcefully does not exist in it you fall back to it willingly. Once you imbibe the above three your outer discipline will get merged with your inner.

By themselves, the Truths don't seem like much, I realize. But beneath the Truths are countless layers of teachings on the nature of existence. The point is not to just "believe in" the teachings, but to explore them, understand them, and test them against one's own experience. It is the process of exploring, understanding and realizing.
