Self Discipline | Ajahn Brahm

Ajahn Brahm Podcast

Sometimes we have the right intention to do good things and make positive changes in our lives but we just can’t figure out how to actually do it! Ajahn Brahm explains that self-discipline isn’t about using willpower or force in order to effect positive change, but rather through using wise strategies that understand the nature of the mind and cleverly coax the mind to make those positive changes.
