Have you ever been disciplined before, likely for what you've done wrong? How do you feel? Bad? Maybe hated or mistreated?
If you've ever had a negative feelings after being disciplined or reproved then this is for you.
No discipline seems good in the present time, but discipline can only serve its purpose when you have the right view of it.
HOW TO GET THE RIGHT VIEW OF DISCIPLINE
The following steps may help you get THE RIGHT VIEW OF DISCIPLINE.
1. Why were you disciplined
Most time when you are disciplined you forget the reason why but can't help to ponder over the severity of the discipline, even if it's just an oral reprove your heart will always dwell on the reprovers limitations.
That's the negative view of discipline. Why not think of what you've done wrong? What you may gain despite the severity of the discipline?
DO YOU KNOW? "Discipline by punishment or reprove can be more enduring when you understand and appreciate it, otherwise it is painful and last for a very long time, its purpose is not also archived."
2. THE REPROVER
Another negative view of discipline is to view the reprover as unqualified. He may be younger and inexperience, or older and uneducated. Who ever he is, if you continue to look at his flaws you will loss the basics of his discipline.
Don't forget that wisdom does not look for age or level of education but comes natural.
Fixing your mind on that can help you get the right view of discipline, infact you'll view it as a privilege regardless of where it is coming from. And when you are trained by it, you will become truly wise.
3. LASTING EFFECT OF DISCIPLINE
Have you ever thought that responding positively to discipline can do damage to your reputation? That's how many think, especially young people.
But the truth is the reverse, responding well to discipline build your reputation. It brings out the best in you, and when you are trying or doing your best that is when you are highly rated. Its the work of discipline.
4. PUBLIC REPROVE
Ok, you like to be disciplined but not public?
Although public discipline is shameful and does a little harm to your self esteem. But that's the best way of discipline. It often comes in form of critism. The best you try to prove your critics wrong the better you learn and develope good habit.
DO YOU KNOW? "Most of your resolutions fail because you made it to yourself, it works better to public. Thesame applied to discipline, you'll make better progress in public discipline than private"
Now that you've come to see the right view of discipline, try to apply them and reap the ultimate reward of being trained by it.
Lastly. LOVE discipline and don't miss the purpose, work by it and become WISE.
