You cannot meditate without discipline. Meditation is discipline in the beginning. And when it improves, it becomes the state of mind. Discipline is not bothering with interruptions and stay focused on what is it that you have to do. Life will give you million chances to curse, to swear, to procrastinate, to break your discipline. At that time you have two choices either you want to stay course or you want to deviate. There are only two paths to any goal. Regardless of what goal you have in life, there are only two paths, one that leads to your goal and the second that takes you away from your goal.
If you keep walking on the one that takes you closer to your goal, one day you will reach your goal. If you keep taking detours or keep going to the direction that is not towards your goal then you will keep dreaming about your goals. You will get frustrated that I am doing everything but I am not getting there. Truth is you are not doing everything or you are not doing it right.
