When I was a teenager someone recommended I read The Disciplined Life, by Dr. Richard Shelly Taylor. I picked up the book and eye-balled the Table of Contents: Chapter 1, Discipline, the Key to Power; Chapter 2, Discipline, the Mark of Maturity. My eyes perused the page until they caught on Chapter 6: How to Become a Disciplined Person. “That’s it! That’s what I need!” I thought and turned quickly to page 81, skipping all that boring preliminary stuff. There I read these guilt producing words: “Some of you will spot the title of this chapter while scanning the Contents and, recognizing that becoming a disciplined person is the goal, will suppose that to read only this chapter will be sufficient. Such an attempt may be symptomatic of your need for discipline.”
