Holistic Personal Discipline

let me be blunt if you're still distracted still inconsistent still stuck in the same cycles it's because you haven't locked in yet you're not locked in spiritually you're not locked in physically you're not locked in mentally and your bank account shows you're not locked in financially let me tell you something real ain't nobody coming to save you if you don't decide today to lock in the world will lock you down so let's break this thing down piece by piece because once you lock in across these four areas you become unbreakable number one we have to spiritually lock in with God first and foremost if your spirit ain't locked in everything else will fall apart the gym don't matter if your soul's lost the money don't matter if your heart's dark jesus said in Matthew 6:33 "Seek the kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need." Most people want results without righteousness blessings without obedience they want to be up while they're still living down locking in spiritually means prayer not just talking to God but listening too set time to be still daily Bible study you got time for Instagram but not for scripture that's backwards fasting starve the flesh to feed the spirit skip a meal and gain clarity obedience stop playing with sin like it won't bite back you can't lock in with God and still flirt with the devil the Bible says in James 4:8 "Come close to God and God will come close to you wash your hands you sinners purify your hearts for your loyalty is divided." This ain't about perfection it's about pursuit so pursue him hard lock in number two physically lock in your body let's talk about your body you're praying for strength but your body's weak because you won't put the fork down you're asking for discipline but you're skipping every workout how you going to win spiritual battles when you're tired from walking up the stairs 1 Corinthians 9:27 says "I discipline my body like an athlete training it to do what it should." If Paul said that what makes you think God's okay with laziness locking in physically means lift heavy you're a man get under some weight build resilience walk daily it clears the mind burns fat and resets your mood eat like a warrior not a slave to sugar drink water not sodas and syrup filled garbage sleep not scrolling to 2:00 a.m then waking up foggy and fake motivated discipline in the gym leads to discipline everywhere else when you treat your body like a temple your spirit thrives your mind sharpens and you walk with energy and authority don't just pray for strength build it lock in number three mentally lock in your mind let me ask you this what are you feeding your brain because most of us are mentally obese stuffed with gossip clickbait and nonsense you got to starve your distractions and feed your mind romans 12:2 says "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think let God change your thoughts but you got to give him something to work with locking in mentally means meditation not new age stuff but biblical meditation sit with scripture reflect deeply reading leaders read lose a scroll choose deep work turn off notifications do the hard things with full focus learning skills youtube University is free learn editing marketing real estate design whatever helps you grow and let me say this clearly if you keep filling your mind with Tik Tok and trauma don't be surprised when your life feels stuck and scattered mental clarity is built in the silence in the boredom in the intentional time of stretching your capacity lock in number four financially lock in the bag now let's talk about money not the fantasy not the fast cash not the flex i'm talking about real financial discipline you want freedom that requires sacrifice strategy and self-control proverbs 21 and5 says "Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty." Most people are broke not because of income but because of impulse they don't track spending they don't budget they chase every new trend but have no foundation locking in financially means create a budget tell every dollar where to go before it disappears cut debt aggressively pay off the credit cards don't live in slavery build a high income skill sales coding copywriting videography get good and charge for it start a side hustle make extra money then invest it into your freedom invest in wisdom books courses coaches don't just spend money multiply it you're either building wealth or you're building excuses you choose god wants you to steward money not worship it but you can't steward what you don't understand lock in let me keep it 100 with you you cannot be the man or woman God called you to be if you're living distracted weak lazy broke and spiritually lukewarm every area is connected if you're off in one area it will infect the others you lock in spiritually you gain purpose you lock in physically you gain energy and control you lock in mentally you gain focus and confidence you lock in financially you gain freedom and impact the Bible says in 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power love and self-discipline." That means the ability to lock in is already in you he's having activated it yet remember the enemy wants you distracted understand this the devil doesn't need to destroy you he just needs to distract you he'll send you lust when you're trying to pray he'll send you Netflix when you're supposed to work he'll send you anxiety self-doubt temptation just enough to delay your destiny but the enemy has no power over a man who's locked in because when you're locked in on God locked in on your goals locked in on your grind you become undeniable so here's the challenge delete the apps write the goals set the alarms open the Bible hit the gym fix the finances stop playing lock in
