In a world of uncertainty, it can be difficult to find peace and freedom. But according to the wise words of Jiddu Krishnamurti, “As a river creates the banks which hold it, so the energy which seeks truth creates its own discipline without any form or imposition; and as the river finds the sea, so that energy finds its own freedom.” These words remind us that our inner strength is what will ultimately lead us to true freedom. We often think of discipline as something imposed on us from outside forces—our parents, teachers, bosses—but Krishnamurti reminds us that true discipline comes from within. It is not something we are forced into doing; rather it is something we choose for ourselves in order to reach our goals and dreams. By disciplining ourselves and staying focused on our path towards success, we can achieve greater heights than ever before. The beauty of this kind of self-discipline is that it does not require us to sacrifice our individuality or creativity in order to succeed. We can still be unique individuals while also having an internal structure and drive that helps guide us towards our goals. This kind of discipline gives us both structure and flexibility at the same time—allowing us to stay focused while also being open to new ideas and opportunities along the way. Krishnamurti’s words remind us that when we combine self-discipline with an open mind, anything is possible. By creating an internal structure for ourselves based on truth-seeking energy, we can find true freedom through hard work and dedication. With this newfound sense of liberation comes a greater appreciation for life itself—and all its possibilities!
