More From John C. Maxwell

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.

The thing about discipline is that people misunderstand the word discipline. people think discipline in the dog world is punishment. discipline is how you achieve what you want to achieve in life. you have to be very focused, very disciplined, very consistent, very diligent. all of those things.

You wake up, your life is discipline: there's kids, breakfast, lunch box, go to work, discipline, organization, guests. imagine the semi-final of super bowl. we have that every day: lunch and dinner. we play that game. then you come home and you really just want to drink a beer. but then you discipline yourself and you have to do this thing, this journal. it was painful but i'm so happy i did it. i have newfound respect for people that write.

We suffer one of two things. either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. you've got to choose discipline, versus regret, because discipline weighs ounces and regret weighs tons.
