About this listen

  When I ran across the 4 Levels of Self-Discipline, I could see the wisdom of the framework. Then I realized there was a 5th Level and my mind was really blown! These levels bring a fresh perspective to the desire for greater self-discipline that we all have. Once understood, we can self-evaluate and have more clarity on where to begin! It's also pretty amazing how perfectly these levels dove-tail with the 7 Laws of Life Mission!

This podcast is for moms just like you, who want to learn how to glorify God through finding and embracing true principles, discovering and developing your greatest gifts, and using them to serve your family and community. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Audrey Reba, author of the Mission-Driven Life founder of the Mission-Driven Mom. I am super excited to be joining you today. We are gonna have a great conversation about self-discipline and the formula for gaining it, and it's 11 components. There are five levels of self-discipline that we're gonna go over in just a minute, which I'm excited to tell you about because this has been. Very helpful information to me in making connections between these levels and the Seven Laws of Life Mission found in my book, the Mission Driven Life, and just in my own life experience and that of others. Before we get into it, I want to make sure that you know that we currently have a Mother's Day Cell going on. You can get a hundred dollars off until Mother's Day of level one of the MDM Academy.

And it would also be great for you to pass it along to a friend or family member that you think might benefit. From the content that we discuss here. So last night I had a book club at my house and we had a handful of people over and we were discussing the book, the Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde. I don't know if you know much about Oscar Wilde. Years and years and years ago, I used to do a program called Enlightened Minds, and we would focus on a book every month and I would go into all kinds of depth. And back then I did this, a focus on Oscar Wilde. And I think this book, or maybe the importance of being Ernest, I'm not sure. Anyway, at that time, I did some extensive research on the life of Oscar Wilde, and I don't have time to go into it today, but it was really quite mind blowing because he latched onto the aesthetic movement. He. Really felt like the pursuit of pleasure was the way to live. But he fell in love with a woman, married her, had a couple little boys, and then over time his life really fell apart. He ended up in prison for sodomy and then died three years after he was released, after making a confession in prison. Anyway, the point of this book discussion and what we're gonna talk about today is that when we were talking about it. A picture of Dorian Gray. One of the things that I brought up, which was incredible to me, is that he wrote the book of the Picture of Dorian Gray is kind of a cautionary tale. It talks about a man who, Dorian Gray, who pursues a life of pleasure and his life precedes to fall apart and. Oscar Wilde wrote this book, serialized it in the newspaper like they do back, like they did back then. And then he proceeded to live it out. He proceeded to do all the things that Dorian Gray did and kind of come to the same demise that Dorian Gray did. And I was telling the group, it's always been incredible to me that this was his path. Like he knew where this might lead. He knew the consequences. Of making these kinds of choices, and yet he still went all in, made all these choices and his life completely unraveled. And I was like, what? Why would he do this? This is so crazy. And one of the men in the book discussion just said, you know, just because you know something doesn't mean you can do it. Just because you know better doesn't mean you can always. Do that thing ...
