“SELF-CONTROL”

Lesson nine left us with the value of enthusiasm; we learned how to generate enthusiasm and the process of transmitting the influence to others, which could be achieved through the principle of suggestion.

Now, we come to the study of SELF-CONTROL which is what we needed to direct the enthusiasm to constructive ends. I want you to have this in mind, without SELF-CONTROL, enthusiasm will definitely resemble an unharnessed lightening of an electrical storm, which may strike anywhere, and definitely may destroy lives and properties.

Enthusiasm stands as a vital force that arouses you to action, while SELF-CONTROL is the balance wheel that directs your action to enable it build-up instead of tearing down.

Your enthusiasm and SELF-CONTROL must be equalized in order to be a person who is well balanced. A recent study of young men and women who found themselves in various prisons indicated that they languish in prison basically because they lack adequate SELF-CONTROL to direct their energies constructively.
