IPC is YOU v/s YOU…

“If you compete against others, you will become bitter. But if you compete against yourself, you will become better”.

“You are the only thing standing in your own way”

discipline is a choice, a habit, and a strength that grows with practice, enabling one to choose what they want most over what they want now

“Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.”
— Abraham Lincoln

The only discipline that matters is self discipline.

“I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬

COT:
40 is a significant number. To some, it represents the mid-point of our lives here on Earth where people begin having a so called “mid-life crisis”. I found some random “40 facts”: 40 is the maximum number of players an MLB team is allowed to carry including active, injured, or minor league players. 40 is also the number of times it took to perfect the formula for the magic in a can we know and love as WD-40. Not to mention, most of us have a standard work week of 40-hours. There are several others… But there are two 40 references that I wanted to focus on. Each represent a period of transformation. The first is the typical gestation time for a human being to form in the womb, which is 40-weeks. The other is the number of days Jesus fasted in the wilderness before He began his earthly ministry.

I’m not sure if any of you have fasted before but for someone like me it’s a wild ride. The amount of transformation that happens when you fast even for a day can be profound. For me it showed me how hateful I can be when I’m hungry and don’t eat…

In all seriousness, the number 40 symbolizes growth as babies are formed in the womb and as Jesus went into the desert to be tempted before starting his ministry. Hopefully the past 40 years have shaped me in a good way for what God has in store for the rest of my days here. Although I’m still growing daily, this first 40 has been pretty important. Here’s to many more!

“for bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but godliness is beneficial for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

COT:
Humans are the only thing in existence that concern themselves with a higher power, sky Q, God, or religion. Ironically if a person chooses to follow such a thing the only thing that gets in in the way of that human following, living out or practicing their beliefs is their own volition, will or desire to do something else that they prefer in the moment “the fart sack.” . :sleeping_accommodation: :dash:
We get done what we want to get done. :f3:
We will get more done together!
