THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE. JUST TWO.

There are two kinds of people. Just two


TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE

There are two kinds of people on earth today,
Just two kinds of people, no more, I say,
Not the good and the bad, for ’tis well understood
The good are half bad and the bad are half good.


Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears.
Not the rich and the poor, for to count a man’s wealth
You must first know the state of his conscience and health.


Not the humble and proud, for in life’s busy span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man.
No! The two kinds of people on earth I mean
Are the people who lift, and the people who lean.


Wherever you go you will find the world’s masses
Are ever divided in just these two classes.
And, strangely enough, you will find, too, I wean,
There is only one lifter for twenty who lean.


This one question I ask. Are you easing the load
Of overtaxed lifters who toil down the road?
Or are you a leaner who lets others bear
Your portion of worry and labor and care?


Ella Wheeler 

Examine the people within your inner circle.

Are they lifters or leaners ?

Who is your number one lifter ?

Who is the leaner that is costing you more than they're worth ?

Is it worth having them as a leaner in your inner circle ?

You are the manager of your inner circle. If you choose not to manage it , it will manage you. Hoping and wishing is not a successful management tool.

SKIN DEEP DISCIPLINE !!



Image result for disciplined  Since I was a kid I have had to deal with the very stressful, annoying, and irritable skin disorder of eczema.  At school many kids wondered if it was catching before they knew what it was. I remember during many summers having to lay on the couch with a cold rag around my neck to reduce the irritation that caused me to itch and the condition to get worse. The rashes would appear on the inside of my arms, my neck, the back of legs, and on my wrist.  When I scratched the areas would get inflamed, spread and darken.  It was not a good time.  There were times as an adult when it would completely clear up for periods at a time.  However, sometimes the scars were still visible.

Bathing in hot water dehydrates my skin and aggravates the break out areas. I feel like a fiend standing in the shower having the hot water bake on my skin. It's a weird high that has regrettable results. It inflames the areas, make them darker and often brings on the itching.  The lack of discipline on my part requires me to pay a higher price for my morale and welfare.  When I fail to implement the required discipline of bathing in luke warm water, using mild soaps, and pat drying myself after showers I pay the price. I suffer. I am impacted and I set myself back. It is a very mentally and physically costly non-productive circle.

Discipline is a key component of any living organism.  The less discipline an organism has the more it deviates from its true purpose and goals.

The universe doesn't care if you are male or female, black or white, tall or short, disabled, gay or straight. It will create opposing forces to disburse your efforts when you lack discipline. Success demands some sort of discipline and then rewards us with progress, even if it's not immediately visible.

Try to live outside the boarders of discipline, and yes you will have free reign to do as you please at times, but that freedom will be overshadowed by the darkness of set backs you unknowingly designed for yourself like it came from a coaches play book.

Discipline will reward you with inner strength that will enable you to move forward, do more, be more effective and efficient. Discipline will not embraced or be loved by your excuses, fears or unchecked habits. Discipline will separate you from others that lack discipline.

It is very difficult to conquer any thing when we are unable to control and conquer ourselves through discipline. Discipline enables the ant to accomplish what is impossible to the being that lacks discipline. In size the ant is small, but with discipline the ant competes with, and rivals many gi-ants....giants...get it ? lol.

Big doors swing on small hinges.  You can accomplish greater things if your are willing to be disciplined.

Don'find an excuse. Find a way.
