Judith Ashley
is the author of The Sacred Women’s Circle series, romantic fiction that honors
spiritual practices that nourish the soul and celebrates the journey from
relationship to romance.
What we’ve
covered:
Your Expectations of yourself are positive.
Your Motivation is internal.
Your Image of yourself is congruent with
your expectations.
Your Direction has specificity.
Now
we’re ready to take a look at Self-Control.
In
reality I Am
The Boss! And that’s what Control
is all about. You controlling you. You accepting full personal responsibility
for yourself. That includes who you are as well as where you are.
We
become what we think about most of the time translates into where we are in our
lives. Where we are in our lives is a culmination of all the little and big
choices we’ve made since birth.
Dr. William
Glasser, MD, founder of The William Glasser Institute and author of Choice
Theory: A New Psychology of Personal Freedom, talks about taking
control or charge of our lives is the foundation of the freedom we need to create the life we want for ourselves.
Dr. Denis Waitley has used his research with Olympic athletes, astronauts and prisoners of war among others as the foundation of his The Psychology of Winning. The fifth quality of a winner is focused on the reality that everything is a choice.
If
you choose not to pay taxes, there is a consequence of at least a fine if not
jail time.
If
you choose not to work over-time, there is a consequence to that and that could
mean your job.
What’s
true is that every day people make choices that put them in danger. Think being
a human shield in a war torn area of the world or being in the military or law
enforcement as other examples. There are also people who say “no” knowing that
their refusal puts them at risk. Think of political prisoners or civil rights’ activists
as examples.
There
are those who will say they don’t have control of life events and to a point
that is true. However, we always have control over how we choose to handle
those events. Think of Victor Frankl’s Man’s
Search for Meaning and how prisoners in the Nazi Death Camps coped
when they’d lost all the trapping of their former lives.
As
long as we keep someone else in control of our lives, the less successful we
become. When we assume control of our
lives, take personal responsibility for what does and doesn’t happen, we have
freed ourselves to more easily manifest our dreams.
Make
the decision to pay those taxes, to work that over-time, to do those chores and
tasks. Remember, every time you say “I have to” you are depriving yourself of
your personal freedom.
Next week? Take
another look at Self-Discipline.
