Discipline

For whatever reason, my son became upset when I didn't want to sniff his binky. Apparently, that is a sign of disrespect in the toddler world. Benjamin is only 18 months, but he's quickly learning how far he can push his boundaries. Although, Ben is a "people person" in every sense of the term. He's also listens very well, but it takes several redirections to make an impression.
Growing up as an army brat, I always knew the importance of discipline. But as the baby of the family I think I received the least of it. I want to show discipline in my life just because Ben will emulate me in the future. I know the success of my finances, my health, my walk with the Lord, and my art all rest upon my ability to discipline myself. I also think the success of Ben's future also rests on my own ability to show restraint. Does that get any easier? At 27 I feel far from it.
