Discipline vs. Regret

I was running the other day and listening to a message from Pastor Matthew Barnett.  It was an annoying combination because there is nothing like listening to a message on self-discipline in the middle of a long run :)

At any rate, he said something that I still haven’t forgotten… “There are two kinds of pain – the pain of discipline and the pain of regret.”  If you do not endure and fight through the pain of discipline than you will experience the pain of regret.  If you don’t want to live a life of regret – than you will have to consistently endure the pain of discipline.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, increase the capacity of your relationships, or trying to grow as a leader – you will experience pain.  Either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

We only have two choices – let’s make the right one.
