Our #disciplinosophy article focuses on the aspect of Discipline as the prime expression of love; it provides further insight on the practices of Us, as New England Ethical Disciplinarians.
When I love you, you will know. I will tell you. I will tell you through My words, and through My actions. I will also tell you through Discipline.
Because Discipline is My love language.
I love being a Disciplinarian. I love creating rules that make sense, and to make sure those rules are followed. My rules are expression of I care about you and your wellbeing. They are the kiss or the love note.
Discipline is an act of love. Creating and maintaining guardrails and guidelines are expressions of deep care and commitment. They show, in very tangible ways, that I am invested in your better future. That I am willing to sacrifice My own popularity with you, asking difficult or unusual things of you, all of them things tailored specifically to you and whatever deficit you may find yourself overcoming.
I will clearly identify your deficit that is holding you back from reaching your goals or even your full potential. Never do I look down on you, or mistake you for your deficits. Even and especially not in those troubled troublesome times, when you identify with your deficits, or overstate your obstacles. When you have in part or fully given up on you and your betterment. Where your struggles seem to be more important than your goals. when your sacrifices seem too steep and the rewards too far away.
Even and especially then I will see you, for the soul you are, for the amazing possibilities you have, for the promises and purpose in your life, rather than reducing you to the deficits, short comings, or temporary failings.
I will identify and remember the deficits as what they are: mere hurdles. Hurdles, that temporarily may fool you. Hurdles, that may appear to be road blocks, obstacles, and at times even mountains! But those hurdles, no matter what they appear to be, are in fact catalysts on your path to growth. They are obstacles that can be overcome, and I will be there, with My care, My discipline to help you overcome them — in other words, with discipline, you will outgrow them!
I will keep you on track with traction on the trajectory towards your goals, help you find the strength and the motivation to tackle the challenges rather than hide or shy away from them. I will continue to give you reminders that yes, you can, and yes, you will grow, even if it is through tiny baby steps until you get to reach and overcome.
I will discipline you all the way. For discipline is My Love language.
Discipline is for those, who struggle with rules, just as it is for those who know the rules, and even for those who obey and follow the rules.
Some people say that discipline is interchangeable with punishments, but to Me, that is far from the truth! Discipline is so much more versatile, so much more facetted, with so many layers and nuances – similarly to a language. For others, the thrill is in their acts of preferance regarding discipline; but to Me, those acts aren’t the main drive.
To Me, it is the discipline I give. The discipline I teach. the discipline I train, the discipline I dash out, the discipline I make you embrace. Begrudgingly at times, enthusiastically at other times. Enduringly, no matter what.
Discipline is My love language because in My world, Discipline is applied Love.
