"Discipline"

November 23, 2017                                                                     

 "Discipline"


Discipline:  1. training to act in accordance with rules; drill.  2. activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill; training.  3. behavior in accord with rules of conduct.  4. to train by instruction and exercise; drill.  5. to bring to a state of order and obedience by training and control.

In order to be a #walkingwomanthatwins, I know that I have to be a #disciplinedwoman to win.

 Setting goals and living up to the goals that are set requires discipline by demonstrating self-control and self-mastery.  We must speak to ourselves and bring our minds and bodies into subjection of the words that we feed our inner selves.  The apostle Paul said in I Corinthians that he keeps under his body, and brings it into subjection, prior to that the Apostle said that he doesn't run or do anything uncertainly, he doesn't fight as one that beateth the air, nor does he preach to others without first putting himself under subjection lest he be a castaway.  He approaches life with certainty as we must. We truly want to be victorious we must train ourselves daily to practice self-discipline. Speaking to ourselves is a form of conditioning our minds, a way of inuring and habituating in order to toughen and harden ourselves to be winners by establishing powerful daily success-habits.

What I can say without a shadow of doubt, is that we can reward ourselves as champions in life in whatever field we endeavor to explore, by knowing that when we dare to discipline daily, it gives us confidence in knowing that our daily preparations and practices will yield us without exception the desires of our hearts!

How do we discipline ourselves?  Practice, practice, practice!  Try, try, try!  Have you heard the old saying, "If at first, you don't succeed, try, try, again!"

That's what discipline is, practice, focus, and self-control of the mind. For example; I want to lose weight.........I start day one by setting a goal to consume fewer calories and exercise.  Exercising requires me to get up 30 minutes earlier.  I wake up day one and two on target feeling good about myself.  Day three, however, I oversleep, the disciplined me will not let that discourage myself by beating myself up and giving up because of 30 minutes and I will know that there are 24 hours in a day and I will find 30 minutes within those 24 hours to stay focused and on track!

We must discipline all areas of our lives to be victorious. It's important to watch what we speak and how we speak.  Remember that our eyes and ears are the gatekeepers of our souls. Watch whom you choose to associate with. Take time out daily to sit with yourself to meditate and pray. Connect to your spirit man, be aware of your consciousness and well being.  These are the keys factors to sustaining a powerfully effective, successful, disciplined life! 

 "All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved."
~Sun Tzu

"Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention!"
~Jim Rohn

"If you understand others you are smart.
If you understand yourself you are illuminated.
If you overcome others you are powerful.
If you overcome yourself you have strength.
If you know how to be satisfied you are rich.
If you can act with vigor, you have a will.
If you don't lose your objectives you can be long-lasting.
If you die without loss, you are eternal.

Pray w/Lolita
Heavenly Father In The Name of Jesus, I thank you for your word that it will not return unto you void. I thank you that your word is sharper than any two-edged sword, able to divide between bone and marrow. I declare healing, restoration, prosperity, and peace to all who reads these words in Jesus' name, Amen!

"Broken Heart........!"

November 22, 2017

                                                         "Broken Heart...........!"

Heart: 1. a muscular organ in vertebrates that receives blood from the veins and pumps it through the arteries to oxygenate the blood during its circuit.  3. the center of the total personality, esp. with reference to intuition, feeling, or emotion.  4. the center of emotion, esp. as contrasted to the head as the center of the intellect.  5. capacity for sympathy; feeling; affection.  6. spirit, courage or enthusiasm.  7. the innermost or central part of anything.  8. the vital or essential part; core.  9. breast or bosom.  18. break someone's heart, to cause someone to be utterly devastated by sorrow or disappointment.  20. eat one's heart out, to grieve inconsolably.  26. in one's heart of hearts, in one's private thoughts or feelings; deep within one.

Heartbreak:  1. n. great sorrow or anguish

Heartbroken: 1. adj. crushed with sorrow or grief

Take Heart32.  to regain one's courage; become heartened.  34. to wear one's heart on one's sleeve, to allow one's feelings, esp. of love to show.  35. with all one's heart, eagerly; cordially.

I had to start from the beginning to make some sense of how I could allow myself to merely exist over the last year or so.  I've literally been walking around aimlessly allowing my subconscious to take over the helm while I floated adrift in the murky waters of life! 

Without going too deep into details one night everything as I knew it changed.  What I thought was so wasn't and it's taken me almost two years to reconcile with myself.  As you can see from the definition of heart, we know what it is and what it does, we understand that our hearts are a literal organ that pumps blood from our veins through our arteries oxygenating the blood. Without the literal function of the heart, we would cease to exist. We need our hearts to have a continuous flow of blood circulating for us to live.  Our hearts also have other functions, at the center of our hearts is our personalities, emotions, and feelings.  Our hearts are like our grand central station!  Our hearts are the center of our being, our spirit man, our intellect, our feelings of compassion and affection.  Our hearts illuminates with enthusiasm, intuitively bold, courageous with vitality and tenacity! 

With everything great about our hearts, sometimes in our lives, we may experience heartbreak.  About a year ago my heart was broken, crushed, anguished, with deep, deep, sorrow. I didn't think that it could be repaired.  I didn't realize just how much having a broken heart could take out of you and away from you. I was on top of the world!  God had healed me of cancer 3 times!  Life couldn't have been any better for me!  I stopped everything.  I stopped living my life.  I stopped participating in living socially, emotionally, and spiritually. I couldn't participate in life.  My brokenness had taken over and I spiraled out of control.  I was at the edge and I jumped!  Now, I didn't know I jumped, I didn't realize I took the plunge of despair but I did. It wasn't some big, huge drastic decision that I decided to wake up one day and do.  No, no, no!  It was a gradual decline.  I should have known that I was getting in too deep and too far when I stopped writing & walking but like I said it was a gradual thing.  One day I wouldn't walk and I would say okay I'll do it tomorrow. Or I would put off writing in my blog, or I would turn down going to an event, and before I knew it I was standing on the scale and it said; "Lolita, you weigh 242 lbs!" 

"Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle!"
~Sun Tzu

Now, I'm taking heart!  I'm regaining my courage eagerly with passion and grit! I am a "Walking Woman that Wins!"

I AM BADASS! 

I look forward to living my life to the full until it overflows............!  I am going to walk off 125 lbs. of sludge! 

Much Love,

Lo Lo from P.O.
