Secret #2 – Self-control – (1)

Secret #2: Self-control: Exercise self-control to plan your Esther Effect, then patiently wait on God’s perfect timing. No day or year of your life is trivial; it’s simply preparation for your next opportunity.*

Per Encarta, self-control essentially relates to “the ability to control your own behavior, especially in terms of reactions and impulses.”** So like self-confidence, self-control is definitely internally generated.

We’re going to group our discussion of Self-control around the acronym: “WAALK”. From personal experience, I’ve had to exercise self-control in my Words, Attitudes & Actions, Lifestyle and I've also realised that it is a Key to success.

A sneak peak into some of the things we’ll be discussing are:
Words: the potential and power of spoken and written words
Attitudes & Actions: we’ll delve into attitudes, actions and emotions
Lifestyle: this will cover our love, life, loving life, shopping/spending and eating habits and all other things that come to our mind or to our attention - your comments
Key to success: we’ll wrap it up with some answers to this set of questions: Is self-control one of the keys to success? If yes, how? If no, why?
