In 2017 a Navy seal named Jocko Willink released a book titled Discipline equals freedom - which quickly became a New York Times best seller - the concept being that as you apply discipline to your life, in the little things - you become free to really do the things that you want to do. If you discipline your finances and don’t spend every dollar that comes through your hands on nonsense, you can do much bigger things. If you discipline yourself to get up every day at a specific time, you have more time in the day to accomplish the things that you really want to or need to do. The Bible talks about this at length - and is an even better Best Seller. In the book of Proverbs, Solomon wrote to his sons - and said this...
I went by the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of one lacking sense. Thistles had come up everywhere, weeds covered the ground, and the stone wall was ruined. I saw, and took it to heart; I looked, and received instruction: a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need, like a bandit.
