*DAILY NUGGETS* _*"If you're hard on yourself, life will Be soft on you — and vice versa"*_ One major reason many remain average is because they mistake routine for progress. What they call "growth" is often stagnation in disguise. Yet, this cycle is avoidable; if you embrace the right principles, they can launch you into your next phase. Every destiny demands a certain level of discipline and consecration. If you refuse to give it what it takes, you will keep repeating the same life lessons until you’re ready to pass the tests required for advancement. Just like the training of a pilot differs from that of a driver, your path has unique dealings tailored to your assignment. You must endure the discipline of character formation, integrity, spiritual consecration, and consistent hard work. Until these are embraced, progress may remain a mirage. In the scripture, people had their disciplines and consecrations; Samson wasn’t to cut his hair. Joseph had to flee from sexual sin. Daniel had to refuse the king’s food and stay consistent in prayer. Jesus had to embrace the cross by dieing for our sins. Your discipline is the price for your destiny. *Action Point:* Ask yourself, "what discipline does my destiny demands?". You can have a glimpse of this disciplines through the patterns in your life and what your purpose demands. *What Is Your Discipline?* *Daily Nuggets* *Discovery Annex*
