Did you know that you can
be your own worst foe,
most serious problem,great
est liability, most severe
critic, and greatest
stumbling block? Did you
also know that you can be
your own best friend, most
helpful counselor, best
booster, and greatest
ass^t?
Each of us has to decide
which of these qualities
will triumph. They are in
constant conflict while
we decide between what we
want to do and what we
should do. Self-mastery is
of tremendous importance.
One must learn to control
thoughts, decisions,
choices, actions. The
richest rewards in life
go to those who master
themselves.
SELF-CONTROL
You can make a worth
while contribution to
your personal development
by encouraging every noble
aspiration, repressing
every undesirable thought,
withholding every bitter
word, resisting every
temptation. Victory over
self is not easy but is so
very important. It takes
determination to conquer
self, to uncover and root
out undesirable thoughts
and to substitute right
habits of conduct. It is
difficult but can be done.
Dwight L. Moody said,"I
have more trouble with my
self than any other man I
have ever met," Was he
speaking for many of us?
Bear in mind that a per
son must realize that he
alone is responsible for
his own words, his own con
duct, his own action, his
own life—he is the de
signer, the architect, the
builder of his own destiny.
Each of us selects the
blueprint for his life.
Each decides whether his
actions build a prison or
a palace,
Shakespeare says, "This
above all 5 to thine own
self be true, and it must
follow, as the night the
day, thou canst not then
be false to any man."
All of us need a definite
stern course of self-disci
pline j a constant re-
strengthening of character3
a high level of spiritual
desires; a tight reign on
our emotions and a firm
rasolve to rule out all
but wholesome thoughts
from our minds. Wo must
develop a strong mental
attitude that will pre
pare us to cope with all
life's situations.
A person cannot run from
himself. Where he goes,
his problems go. "Know
thyself," "To thine own
self be true." Put first
things first.
