Why is discipline so hard to come by??

We all like to have discipline in our lives as we keep getting older and wiser as they say... But this etiquette called discipline always keeps running away... 

Its so hard to catch up with it... In the morning when u rise it rises with you, even at an unearthly early hour.

 As discipline for me, as a runner, is to wake up in the wee hours early morning and get out to run... To keep the body heated up so that the sinus is in check...

The moment I stop running the nose starts to run wild.

So early morning is when the discipline seems to be right there shining up and early with me, but the lazy mind decides to order the hand to shut the alarm and shut the eyes .... And the discipline again goes into my dreams... Where I keep running but so does the Sinuses.

This constant fight just never ends.

Come late morning and Discipline is ready again to give me a second chance to do some exercises since running around is then not possible... And it does all preparations to keep me in shape.

But the Mind, I tell you, is a dirty distraction... It tells me to read the papers and solve  the "Sudoku a day challenge"; and once again dearest Discipline goes hiding under the aggressive mind.

But Discipline, my humble honest friend does not give up.. It once again starts to haunt thy mind and asks it to climb the railway station stairs as I catch a local train to office,, and then again under the conscious eyes of thy Discipline, I happily climb 3 floors to reach my office.

Successfully achieving this, Discipline gives a bright smile and the Sinuses get back to hiding in its small corner.

Sinuses are also smart beings... They wait patiently for the Air Conditioning to seep in the body... Breathe in... Breathe out and slowly and steadily it builds on.. And then the nose starts to feel very sad and gives in to a big sob and starts to run like water.... 

Hahahahahha laughs the Sinuses as its patience paid off well and once again it won against the Disciplinary actions of the mind.

So then goes the day fighting with  frequent visits to the loo to clear the running noses or use the handkerchief to blow the glory out... And as evening approaches... The body tells thy mind to allow some sleep in the train.... If lucky to get a seat, and the Masjid Harbour line train obliges with a window seat... Arey waaah says the mind and reminds the hand to complete the morning Sudoku with a 5 star difficulty level.

As it knows very well that the eyes will give in to this difficulty level and allow the mind and the Sinuses to rest.... Beautiful it is the little games that my mind and body play!!!

Aaaahhhhh... That feels good says the body as the local train glides into Andheri station and obliges with another brisk walk and climb up the stairs back to the comfort of thy home... 

Lovely the day was says my mind to the Wifey.... Not knowing that discipline has still not won as the yummy food is waiting to be attacked on.... 

Now comes in the tummy growling like a baby... But hey Discipline says eat with measure and not like it's Gold and Treasure.... But as you know how it goes.. The tummy keeps asking for the Treasure till it hears the clinks and the burps of the treasure reaching the bottom of the pit... There goes the Discipline again in the dumps and under the carpet.... 

Now comes the time to cuddle up on the high... With a hug from the wife and the treasure giving hi fi... Goes the mind in deep slumber to await the forest Lumber... As the Mind goes running once again up in the mountains and then on the roads.
