Developing Self-Control is Good Thing

Self-Control

Knowing when to do something and doing it just at the right time and in the right extent is a very good way of mastering one’s self

We have self-control to the degree that we make the

decisions. To affect the outcome of anything, we

must control conflict at the point of decision

making. Two sides of an argument often

involve the intellectual versus the emotional.

Reason and emotion are not antagonists. What seems

like a struggle is a struggle between two opposing

ideas or values, one of which, automatic and

cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative,

beggarly, and impure streams of thought; and as a

wise householder commands his servants and invites

his guests, so must he learn to command his desires,

and to say, with authority, what thoughts he shall

admit into the mansion of his soul.
