“Beyond a certain point in a man’s life, if he is to remain truly vital, he needs to be actively engaged in devotion to something other than his own success and happiness.  The word discipline derives from the same root as the word disciple.  Discipline means ‘to place oneself in the service of.’  Discipline is a form of devotion.  A grown man with nothing to devote himself to is a man who is sick at heart.  What a great many men in this culture choose to serve is their own reflected value, which they often believe serves the needs of their family, even while their families may be crying out for something different from them.” ~ Terrence Real, I Don’t Want To Talk About It
