One of my very first spiritual teachers would often use this phrase in his teachings: “There is freedom in discipline.” I was in my early twenties, and every time he would say it, I could feel this childish disgruntled growl happening inside of me. Thank goodness, it was a silent growl otherwise I’d be feeling quite embarrassed by it now that I know how true this sentence is (over 20 years later).
