"Only Connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either will die." -E.M. Forster, Howard's End
AND
"Total eclecticism works neither for art nor religion--at some point one has to make choices, one has to shut out the critical self and take the leap."- May Sarton, The House by the Sea
Life is like this too. Whatever you want, connect with it. And choose/commit. No diddle dallying around.
AND
You Have to Reach out and Grab it:
Whatever IT is: A Job, a Relationship, a Possibility...
Set your eyes on it, don't swerve, and you will land on what you want, if you keep your eyes on it.
Laziness is getting Distracted.
Discipline is getting Focused.
That's literally all it is. In Life you have to be disciplined to get what you really want, but it takes focus. Discipline is to fall into line where the track indicates.
Parking in a parking space takes discipline. You have to focus to be accurate. As long as you're lazy (and unfocused) you will park parallel to the striped lines. You don't want to be parked parallel to your Purpose. It shows you're not reading the signs correctly. You are willfully trying to be Right, when you are Wrong. (Do I do that?)
check yourself, before you wreck yourself.~
