Self Control

The man who masters himself is delivered from the force that binds all creatures
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Without self control, enthusiasm resembles the unharnessed lightning of an electrical storm It may strike anywhere; It may destroy life and poverty.

Enthusiasm is the vital quality that arouses you to action, while self control is the balance wheel that directs your action so that it will build up not tear down.

Self control is the ability to direct your thoughts, and this your actions, in the pursuit of your definite chief aim.

To be a person who is "well balance," you must be a person in whom Enthusiasm and self control are equalized.

It is a fact that the majority of our personal grief comes about through lack of self-control.
The holy scriptures are full of admonition in support of self control. They even urge us to love our enemies and to forgive those who injure us.

If you neglect to exercise. Self control, you are not only likely to injure others but you are sure to injure yourself!

The growth of wisdom may be gauged accurately by the decline of ill-temper.
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Luck is not chance it's foil - fortune's expensive smile is earned
-Emily Dickinson

No one can control others unless they first control them self.

Lack of self control is the average salespersons most damaging weakness.

The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Three Choices

When we are unhappy and our Life Conditions do not match our Blueprint, we have three choices as to how we’re going to handle the challenge: First Choice: Blame The first choice people have is to assign blame, and there are three things you can blame: a) Event . There’s a story, something that happened, behind why things are the way they are. However accurate the story may be, blaming an event is convenient because it helps preserve an identity designed to shield us from our true fears: fear of failure and fear of not being loved or accepted. b) Others . “I’m in this situation because this person …” Similarly, the story may be true, but it’s convenient and gives you comfort in the moment. “There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s this other person. There’s nothing I need to change.”  c) Yourself . Most people think that this is being responsible, but blaming yourself will not make it better. There’s a difference between responsibility and beating yourself up—between “Here’s a pattern th...

Wealth File #15 Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money

Working hard is important, but working hard alone will never make you rich. Rich people can spend their days playing and relaxing because they work smart. They understand and use leverage. They employ other people to work for them and their money to work for them. You do have to work hard for money. For rich people, however, this is a temporary situation. For poor people, it's permanent.. Rich people understand that "you" have to work hard until your "money" works hard enough to take your place they understand  the more your money works, the less you will have to work. To win the money game, the goal is to earn enough passive income to pay for your desired lifestyle. In short, you become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses. Rich people think long-term. They balance their spending on enjoyment today with investing for freedom tomorrow. Poor people think short-term. They run their lives based on immediate gratifications.
