Financial Discipline

Part of living a disciplined life is exercising financial discipline. 

Among many things, that means living within a budget. 

If you don’t have a monthly budget, create one—one well within your means is best. 

Give every dollar a job and watch how your life changes. 

Living within a budget may sound restricting, but just like every other area of your life, that discipline brings freedom. 

The Scariest Moment

You know that thing you need to do? That thing that scares you? That thing that everything within you dreads doing?

That thing is only scary and fills you with fear because you haven’t jumped in. You haven’t started yet. 

“The scariest moment,” King said, “is always just before you start. After that, things can only get better.”

Most of the things we dread don’t turn out as terrible when we get up close and personal with them. Once you overcome your fear and begin things only improve. 

So hear’s to getting started. To rolling up your sleeves and taking the first step. That's the hardest part. It's all down hill after that.

On the other side of that first step is the freedom that comes from beating fear. The freedom that comes from engaging discipline and doing things inspite of fear.
