Living With Chronic Pain & Spiritual Transformation

Being disciplined is the footsteps to walking out your dreams

You can’t accomplish your dreams without being disciplined with your life.  Think of it this way.  Being disciplined is the footsteps to walking out your dreams.

And a big part of discipline is to understand that you can’t discipline your pain or the pressures against your life very effectively, especially when considering the long-term objectives.  But what you can do is to discipline your mind and your emotions. For destructive thoughts and emotions literally try to steal your ability to dream.

I’ve personally experienced the power of discipline against chronic, neuropathic pain.  There is no way I’m able to discipline my pain to the point of acceptable reduction or withdrawal.   On the other hand, regardless of the pain and fatigue I might experience, I’ve acquired the ability (through discipline) to focus and to implement healthier habits into my lifestyle.

As a result, I’ve walked further along the journey than I ever anticipated after undergoing four neck surgeries.   And I’ve lost 65 pounds and kept it off by remaining single-focused and disciplined regardless of the obstacles and/or temptations that confront me.  For the record, weight loss isn’t entirely about losing the pounds or eating the right foods, although this is essential.  It’s about your disciplined attitude toward change, especially when it feels like everything is against your desires to attain your dreams.

Keep me on your favorites about spiritual transformation.  You can begin this exciting journey of transformation regardless if you’re living with chronic pain or if you’re struggling against horrendous obstacles.

To your health,
