I read this quote today in an undisclosed book. Let me know what you think about it.

“In a sense, much of a [successful ministry] is about creating a culture of discipline. It all starts with disciplined people. The transition begins not by trying to discipline the wrong people into the right behaviors, but by getting self-disciplined people on the bus in the first place. Next we have disciplined thought. You need the discipline to confront the brutal facts of reality, while retaining resolute faith that you can and will create a path to [success]…Finally, we have disciplined action…This order is important. The comparison [ministries] often tried to jump right to disciplined action. But disciplined action without self-disciplined people is impossible to sustain, and disciplined action without self-discipline people is impossible to sustain, and disciplined action without disciplined thought is a recipe for disaster” (Jim Collins).

What do you think about this?
