Self-control is one mark of a mature person; it applies to control of language, physical treatment of others, and the appetites of the body.
A desire to be in charge of our own lives, a need for control, is born in each of us. It is essential to our mental health, and our success, that we take control.
It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control.
The more control you have over your life, the more responsible you feel for your own success - or failure.
I like to be in control of things.
I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.
It was always important to me to be confident and strong with myself. It didn't happen overnight, but I've learned that the only way you can start to control things is if you feel a certain way about yourself.
It's in the act of having to do things that you don't want to that you learn something about moving past the self. Past the ego.
No matter what happens to you, you can maintain your own control about what you believe and who you are.
Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.
