Disciplined Life

1 Cor. 9:27 NLT  “I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”

Discipline – training oneself to do something in a controlled and habitual way.
Leadership takes discipline . Becoming the best version of you requires a willingness to do things that others will not put the effort into. What does that look like? Well, how much sleep do you need to be effective and at your best? How often do you exercise? How much attention do you pay to your diet? How much time do you spend learning? How much energy do you spend on relationships? How deep is your relationship with God? Do you control your money or does it control you? Do you plan things or react to things?
Each topic listed above is an area of discipline and each one plays a part in how well we lead. How well are you doing in each area? Which need work? Which ones are you succeeding in?
Lack of discipline will always lead to disqualification in leadership.
