What’s up everybody? This is Bodybyloud! Vint. Coming to you from the GetRight Spot right now to GetRight Spot is a parking lot of the regular J-O-B, but it’s been a minute since I talked to everybody and I just want to come on and talk about something that I spent on my mind recently, trying to make more short podcasts about ideas and
get back to the long form some other time. But what’s been on my mind lately is I’m at the stage in life where I’m still parenting, but it’s a dope parenting. And in a dope parenting, it’s like you see things that if you thought about them earlier,
you could have, you know, changed some things, but it is what it is at a certain point. And you have kids and young adults that you’re trying to help out. And you see where they’re not built like you were.
And of course that makes sense because they’re growing up in a different world and the world’s not the same world. We don’t have the same influences. No, we are not the same influencers.
that our parents and their peers were so we don’t have the same people to look up to.
Not that that’s good or bad because you can get what you don’t need from anybody.
So, you know, having people who are your elders, it can help you and hurt you,
depending on, you know, what you get from them. So, you have to be diligent.
And that’s why this idea of discipline has been heavily on my mind lately. And I came to this,
what I’m calling the get right quote for this short podcast is, “Discipline is self-love.”
And I’ve been thinking about that whole idea of how discipline is self-love over the past week
and in so many areas of life where
All you had to do is make certain decisions and be consistent with them.
And your life would be totally different, you know.
And it’s like you can pinpoint in several different aspects of life,
how discipline really helped and move you forward.
And in health, in family, friendships,
financially.
work-related, just all kinds of disciplines, if you enforce them and stick to them,
they have a great impact on your life. Like I use, for example, diet and eating,
like just being disciplined in
what you eat, like what you bring into your body, your system.
You know, it changes who you are.
It helps enhance who you are.
And just knowing certain things, you have to use discipline, like a diabetic.
needs to have discipline. Discipline for a diabetic is important because that discipline
determines whether or not you live or not, whether or not you get a PCL body cut off and whatnot.
So just in that area alone, being disciplined, staying away from food sources that are not good
for you. Like everything is all good, but at the same time, certain things are not as good for
certain people. Like someone who can eat sweets all day long and take in all kind of starches
and sugars doesn’t have the same issues with that dietary lifestyle. That’s someone who can’t. So
once you realize that you are not a person that can take in the same amount of starch
and sugar that other people, then it’s on you. It’s in your best interest to have discipline in
that area. And I’ve witnessed where people didn’t have discipline in that area and
shorten their lives, shorten their freedom to get around just because they refuse to have discipline
in what they bring in. If you’re a diabetic, you can’t drink sodas all day. You can’t drink
Kool-Aid all day, sweet tea, eat fries and chips, rice, potatoes on a regular basis like every day.
You can’t do it. I mean, it’s not in your helpful plans. So just in that area alone, discipline
is self-love. Just knowing what you can and can’t do for yourself. That becomes self-love. So
that’s just one aspect. Another aspect that is hard to relate to
some of the younger people is financial discipline.
if you don’t have someone to guide you.
then you you might not understand what financial discipline even is.
So I remember we took classes, you know, and told us how to do certain things
like balance a budget.
And that’s a discipline balancing.
Your income, like what comes in has to be more than what goes out
just for you to survive financially and be independent.
And that’s a discipline.
So when when when these young adults get out and just think that
as long as they make money, they’re going to be all right.
It often doesn’t work out if you have like habits.
That you’re not taken into account.
So certain habits can take money away from necessities.
And a lot of time without discipline, you can’t even see
a discipline in a budget.
You can’t even see where that money is going.
And I think I have a daughter that’s
I could it’s obvious to me that what she’s dealing with
is messed up because, you know, I had to take a little responsibility
and realizing that, you know, you you think about your kids and you say,
“Damn, what you need?
You should have learned this shit.”
Then you think about that shit.
I was the way she was supposed to learn it from.
But sometimes you don’t get what you need from certain people,
but you still need to find it.
So it ain’t on me to.
force it into it, I can do a suggestion that she, you know, find some discipline in that
area for herself, like that self love discipline, financial discipline, it’s self love, it’s
going to help you in the long run.
So that’s just two errors and that’s all I wanted to say.
How discipline is self-loving so many ways.
So if you hear this and you can think of a way
where discipline has been something
that has greatly helped you, maybe even saved your life.
Just pass this along
in whatever way that you pass it along give an example how discipline in some area has helped
your life and let’s try to get this to the if you and your
of a certain age where you’re an adult parent.
And let’s try to get this little taste of wisdom
to people who are our younger adults who could use it.
I mean, learning that discipline that self-love would,
I think, be something that helps all of us.
So that means, you know, that’s elevation.
That’s what this thing is all about.
That’s what Body By Loud is all about.
Life elevation.
So that’s it for the moment.
I appreciate whoever hears this and can help spread the word.

And just explore.
Just share what you see and help me grow this thing.
I think, you know, we’re progressing.
And I think you’ll like what you find at some point.
Well, anyway, thanks again.
And I’m not supposed to say something at the end,
but I can’t remember.
Keep exploring
