Setting and Achieving Goals

Achieving Goals & Maintain Self Control

 

 

 

The truth of existence is that we all at some time in our lives feel sad or depressed. The old saying was that we felt "down in the dumps". Sometimes, we get those feelings because of real things that are happening to us that could be out of our control. Or, our actions precipitated certain life stresses that make us feel as if we aren't going to be able to control our behaviors and these feelings trigger repressed or reversed hostility towards ourselves if we are trying to control our feelings against others.

 

 

maintain self control This repressed hostility doesn't have to be directed towards other people or sublimated and turned against ourselves often manifesting itself in many psychosomatic disorders. Let us say that you did have an affair and you were caught. Your behavior was your responsibility; your actions after the event are also your responsibility. If you can see yourself as the center of your own personal universe, you can deal with your behaviors by accepting them. If others turn hostile against you because of your behavior, that is their problem. Your problem with their hostility will be to protect yourself without harming yourself.
Many businesses are run by family members or by partners. Situations happen because of the very nature of business, greed and envy. You can't lose sight of your interests, and you can't become overly involved in protecting someone else's interests unless your involvement will cause you no harm. After all you are the center of your universe not only in your personal life but in your business life.

Self Discipline

 

 

Maintaining self control is not always that easy if we get attacked without warning. We might get hurt. But, our reactions to the attack if we have lived a life of seeing ourselves as the center of our universe will not be totally out of control even when attacked unexpectedly. Why? Because we have trained our mind to protect ourselves at home and elsewhere.
Too many people live a life of gaily playing with friends and of doting on them. They are the most likely to lose control of a situation when the smallest ding is heard on their fine crystal and it cracks. The person who sees himself as the center of his universe will be sad at the broken glass but will not lose control and attack the cracker.
