Will Is Inner – Discipline Is Outer

<h1>Will Is Inner – Discipline Is Outer</h1>Author: <a title="Maia Berens" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/maia-berens/23434.htm">Maia Berens</a> Will Is Inner – Discipline Is Outer   “It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.” Buddha Discipline is a concept which comes from your mind — a thinking form of structure, imposed from the outside when your will is fragile – when your generator is idling or low, rather than going strong. Sometimes, you need a bit of discipline or structure when your will is fragile — however your inner will ought not to be confused with its catalyst or helper — discipline. Will is not discipline. Will is inner. Discipline is outer. Here’s an example: I am on a health program that tests my nutritional needs and supplement needs and then tells me what foods are best for me to eat and what vitamins and minerals are best for me to take. Sometimes my will is so strong. It is so easy to follow my program. And sometimes I find I have to go to my mind or intellect which knows this program the best thing for me and impose discipline on myself. This is not how I like to do it. It’s hard and makes me want to rebel – almost as if some mean parent is making me do something. It’s as if the self-imposed discipline is a loving parent that will put the tired child to bed even though the child thinks it would rather stay up and watch TV. If will is your inner source, it comes from a Power greater than yourself. (Uh oh. Is she talking about God?) Well, it can be God or it can just be all those people for whom this works. Alternatively, it can also be a belief in higher principles. Therefore, without that power – Great Creator, God, Universe, Good, Group consciousness, etc., we do not have contact with the will. You may have to use some outer discipline, until the inner inspiration takes over. WILL = INNER = SOURCE DISCIPLINE = OUTER = MIND A fully functioning will is the source of true willpower. UNSATISFIED NEEDS OFTEN AFFECT WILLINGNESS. FOR THAT REASON, IT IS THE PERFECT TIME TO TAKE STOCK OF YOUR NEEDS. <a target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/mydvbe">http://tinyurl.com/mydvbe</a>About the Author: Maia Berens, life coach, personal growth teacher, self coaching programs, has been growing and transforming herself for over 30 years.

WILL = INNER = SOURCE
DISCIPLINE = OUTER = MIND

A fully functioning will is the source of true willpower.

Is the dream job concept a myth?

By: RICKY BADBOY | 11/11/2009
All of us think of dream jobs. But once we land there, the illusive search for another begins. Why is it so? If this is reality then why do we still crave for a dream job? Is the concept of a dream job vague and unreal? Is it essentially an illusion, a mirage or a myth? I posed this question to 22 working people, irrespective of their sex, and a whopping 19 said the entire concept is a myth. Why do we still believe in that concept then? Because some people reasoned out that we can make our job a

Note to Self: The Universe seeks to find balance

By: Maia Berens | 11/07/2009 | Self Improvement
I could tell you stories that support the above but those stories would cloud the truth. The truth I had to be willing to allow was to let this relationship go. I have done that.

Will Is Inner – Discipline Is Outer

If will is your inner source, it comes from a Power greater than yourself. (Uh oh. Is she talking about God?) Well, it can be God or it can just be all those people for whom this works.
