“Rule your mind or it will rule you.” ~Horace
Habits are created out of repetitive actions; actions from thoughts; thoughts from beliefs.
If we want to rule our minds, as Horace notes, we need to rule our thoughts but our thoughts will not change if our beliefs do not change.
Many years ago I realized the rewards from self-discipline far exceeded the pain associated with incorporating it into my life. This realization became a belief and today I not only believe but I am convinced my days will always go much better when I get in God’s word and pray first thing in the morning, exercise early in the day, eat right, sleep right and stay in a positive mode.
These great habits were once things I never thought I could master…that was an old belief.
“Rule your beliefs, or they will rule you.” ~Jay Meyer

Hebrews 12:11, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”
