Enjoying Discipline

What is a successful person? Is it measured by financial gain? Prestige of position? If you ask this question, most will have a varied answer. What makes a good person? One who is perfect? Someone who is humble and kind? These are two similar but different outcomes? As the world sees it, money and power define success. Within a family, humility, character and love would trump the world’s definition of success. Wisdom is a discipline to be practiced. It requires more than worldly knowledge. It is a divine intervention taking place and it comes through prayer and the use of other disciplines such as solitude, chastity, confession, sacrifice and submission.
