Introduction
“Self Control is a key factor in achieving success. We can’t control everything in life, but we can definitely control ourselves. ”  – Jan Mckingley Hilado

Last week we talked about the habit of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the vital quality that arouses you into action while self-control is the balance wheel that directs your action so that it will build up and not tear down. The habit of self control is the stepping stone on the way to serenity. 


Start by joining our new group in the Community of Commerce - Building Success Habits where we continue the thought conversations that arise during the show.

Objectives - The WHY 
How we act and react in any situation or circumstance is a choice. We can allow the world to dictate our actions and feelings while placing blame on others. Another choice is to use the habit of self control to keep our thoughts and feelings to ourselves. The best choice is to be the master of our thoughts and feelings. Nobody can make you mad, glad or sad unless you give them that power. Life is only as good or as bad as we choose it to be.  

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Many people naturally lack self control. This happens when they live at the animal level of awareness. 
2. Self Control is only achieved by being intentional about how we react to life’s situations and circumstances. Someone who has self-control can control their impulses – meaning they can be angry or upset but they're able to refrain from acting on it.
3. The next level up from self control is patience. Someone who is patient can tolerate things WITHOUT getting angry or upset. 
4. We should seek to cultivate patience, beyond self control. Patience is a feeling of peace and calm in any situation.

What You Need to Know - The WHAT

• Self-control definition: the ability to control oneself, in particular one's emotions and desires or the expression of them in one's behavior, especially in difficult situations.
• Knowing and believing in your own potential first is needed in order to achieve Accurate thinking. With accurate thinking we use self control to increase positive thoughts and minimize negative thoughts. 
• Enthusiasm around the possibilities gets us in motion. Self control determines how we use that forward movement. We can either use it constructively or destructively. How we use it determines our results
• We need to use self control to get us to act as much as we need it to keep us from acting. “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.” -- Shakespeare
• Wondering if lack of self control is an issue? One very common and very destructive form of lack of self control is the habit of talking too much. It requires self control to become a good listener. 
• There is a difference between what you think about, and what you speak or do. Everything you feel does not have to be exhibited in your words and actions. Self-control can earn you the respect of other people.

What You Need to Do​​ - The HOW

1. First work on self control in any situation. Then take it to the next level by cultivating your ability to exhibit patience. 
2. Find calmness of mind and serenity in order to adapt to situations and people. By doing this you gain success, influence and an increased power for good. 
3. Read, learn, understand and incorporate Chapter 7 (Serenity) of the book As a Man Thinketh
4. Listen to the Building Success Habits Series
5. Download the IBGR Business Growth App
6. Challenge beliefs that no longer serve you. Quote: Eric Hoffer - “No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need other people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps a book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need other people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are.”
