Self discipline - Being a Master of Yourself

So many times, our bodies are our greatest distractions. The human body is such that it needs our attention each minute (eating, sleeping, talking, seeing a movie, swimming, skiing, etc) and if we are not careful, we may not attend to other things that matter (critical thinking, reading, making a headway, creativity, emotional intelligence, etc). As we advance in age, our personality continues to reflect the kind of choices we have made with our bodies in the past. This is where effective management of time and daily routine is examined. It is noteworthy to say that a person of impact extraordinaire is someone who has mastered the art of subjecting his/her body to his own strong will, nurtured by vision and purpose. Such a person has the power over distractions and can easily say 'no' to things that will keep him/her away from focus. This is where self-discipline comes in.

Like Teffiti, some of us have lost consciousness of whom we are the moment we allowed others to get through to us with their negative words, criticism, and vices. Some of us have lost our self-worth to the circumstances that surround us. Do you not know this - until you know who you are, you are never in charge of your life ? Until this truth sinks in, you'd be given in to circumstances around you. You'd give in to emotions, random jobs, a rat race lifestyle. Whom you are isn't just a definition of your self-worth. It is a path to other deep questions you should ask yourself daily.
