The ART of SELF-CONTROL

Rik13 Comments

self control

Can you control yourself?  Can you control on minimize your emotional bond something on command or after relative factors?  How well do you know yourself?  These are a few questions people in control of their lives and abilities can answer easily.  We as people should work on discipline and teach our children the art of self-control.  It’s a very useful tool that can help you within your life.  Having self-control helps in many factors in our lives such as quitting a habit, ending relationships, knowing what your values are in situations, staying focus, motivation and much more.  When you are in control you can always dictate your outcome more towards your liking.  In life somethings are unavoidable, but wouldn’t it be a strength and great value to have when you can turn on or off your actions to various situations that includes your involvement?

Definition:
Self-control is the ability to control one’s emotions, behavior, and desires in order to obtain some reward, or avoid some punishment. Presumably, some (smaller) reward or punishment is operating in the short-term which precludes, or reduces, the later reward or punishment. In psychology it is sometimes called self-regulation.

4 Lies I Try Not To Tell

I am not much of a liar, but there are some lies I wish I didn’t have to tell.  Sometimes we just have to lie, whether it’s a white lie or just the truth in disguise of a lie, here are my four lies I wish I didn’t have to tell.

Lie 1 – I Don’t Love You

Clearly I am in love with you, but I have to tell you I am not so you can go.  It pains me to lie to you, but I just can’t be with you, and as much as I want to be selfish and have you all to myself and the misery and fights we might have, I have to let you go. Bye.

Lie 2 – I Am Not BUSY…

I really hate saying this to friends and family that I am busy, but clearly I am busy, if I told you my goals and aspirations and you are not even trying to help me get there so I would have more free time.  I have to try to be human, say I am not busy in hopes that we can actually hang out or you don’t think I am a robot.  But I am busy, I am busy chasing my dreams, whether it’s going to school, working, being a music artist or a writer/blogger, I am busy.   Sorry I lied.

Lie 3 – I Can’t Help You

Sometimes I have to tell people the truth in which they see I have the talent and skills to help them in life, but I turn around and say I can’t help them when I actually can.  The fact is mostly I can only help the people who wants to be helped, and wants to work hard, instead of someone who just wants you to do all the work and reap the benefits in life.

Lie 4 – I Do Sleep/Have a Social Life

Going back to being busy, If all or most of my time is spending working or chasing my dreams, when do you think I have time to sleep when there is some much things left to do in the day?

I hope you enjoyed the lies I try not to tell, for we all lie in some way of form.  Sometimes the words of honesty slips, or even can be taken that, we do have the power and energy to do things we say we can not, we just choose not to do them or apply the discipline to do so.

BONUS LIES:

  • – To the girlfriend or wife…”You are not fat”
  • – To your kids…”It’s just not truth”
  • – To your boss…”I was not late”

What are some lies you wish you didn’t have to tell?  What do you think of my lies?

Strategy and Consistency is the key to win.  I am starting my 2013 Milestones early.  Forget about the end of the world, if I comes it comes.  If a Zombie Apocalypse happens as well, I am ready for that too.  I have a shiny cool sword that I am dying to master as a swordsman/ninja.  But beyond of the humor, to achieve the goals I want next year, strategy and consistency will be my major tools to win.

I am lucky to have natural talent, creativity and a tremendous work ethics in embedded in me, and with new measurable focus, I shall be standing to achieve some great milestones for 2013.

Are you starting your goals early?  What are your main focus for the new year?  What are your keywords or motivational words of 2013?
