The issue of self-discipline is one which many people struggle with in this life, on a planet especially such as this--one so imbalanced, and prone to mis-perceptions of healthy choices. You can always benefit greatly from the "tried and true" path of looking inward for this Voice of God, which continually reaches out toward you. You have so little encouragement, no one on this planet, to regard this Voice as the Great Guide which it is. It is as if those who chose this effort must do so by overcoming the prejudices which exist, regarding this process. They are often discouraged from such an effort by statements such as: "All you will hear is what you want to hear." "You will only be talking to yourself." "You cannot find the Guidance of God within the small confines of your own mind."

I do, indeed, put much care into my development of the Melchizedek Teachings. I savor the opportunity to take their great wisdom, and offer it to this world! It is a noble effort I am willing, and hopefully, able to make, in this work. (Smiling) And, indeed, I will say that, at times, the preparation of my lessons involves the very efforts of self-discipline that I just touched upon in my lesson! The reward, as I say, for the efforts of self-discipline, are moments such as these... when one is able to recognize that the service one has offered, from this high intention, is, indeed, regarded with appreciation by others. That is the invigorating motivation for one's desire to do one's best effort in one's work.
