Your home.

Here's a quick question. Where is your home? It is probably that place where you grew up as a child but I define home as the place where everything is just warm, safe and stable. I bet that place seems miles away now that you know no real place can be safe and warm and stable simultaneously. Life is tidally changing, rarely predictable; that nice stable home was  an illusion.Why then do we bother with  plans, routines and timetables?

Your psychological home is in your daily routine. The things that are so deeply ingrained in your subconscious that you don't question them anymore. The things you do whether you are having the worst day or a bad day. The reason why you wake up in the morning,  at the time you did (hopefully there is reason to that). Your home is  a product of your goals and discipline. Some people  like Barack Obama, Winston Churchill, Benjamin Franklin have had interesting routines, and its probably the reason why they are successful.

Life is unstable, but that doesn't mean we have to absorb that turmoil too. It is that home that puts us back on track when nothing makes sense or when everything falls into place. The home is our powerhouse , like a physical home, it has to be maintained and improved through discipline. “Why is discipline important? " the author Leon MAcArthur once asked. Well, my answer is simple, actions tend to become habits and habits do have consequences. Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Discipline may sound impractical or hard but in the long run its the best thing you can do for your sanity,

We all know want wake up to nothing and do everything as we desire. Achieve without having to plan or anticipate anything. As sweet as that sounds, that's not living, its surviving. Doing that merely means surrendering. Living for convenience sake simply robs us of our ability to be masters of our destiny. Life is too amazing for that.

The media has been very successful in poisoning our minds. They use the terms like, "life is short", "do whatever you want"," chase paper". They are infact right, life is too short to just live for convenience, you can do  whatever you want, but if you want to reach that goal, choose wisely. Money is important but it is as they say just paper. Long story, make time to build your home. You might fall off that bandwagon once in a while but when that happens, make sure you have a stable home to go back to. Have a great week!
