Lack of Self-Control:

• complain a lot
• compare yourself to others
• negatively impacted by praise or criticism
• responsive only to situations, circumstances, and/or ignorance.

Self-Control:

• keep in the present moment, working towards a higher purpose
• free from anger, self-pity, envy, jealousy, etc.
• appreciate the grind
• celebrate earned progress

 

“The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy.”      — Rumi —
