Last week I attended a Catholic men's retreat in Oklahoma. One of the speakers there said something that struck me like a lightning bolt.
He said, "Discipline scatters demons."
When we think about the various temptations, addictions, attachments and vice in our lives we might consider them as demons...
...or FORCES OF CHAOS.
The opposite of chaos is order.
To experience order in our lives we need to practice discipline.
Discipline is about creating and enforcing boundaries, guidelines or a code of behavior that we strictly adhere to.
