Pat Mesiti – Soaring Higher
Pat Mesiti International Motivational Speaker gives you principles to soar higher!
(excerpt taken from Pat Mesiti’s new book “Soaring Higher”)
He who lives without control is exposed to ruin
One of the greatest gifts we can have is self-control. As a self-confessed control freak, I often try to control others and circumstances. But a fact of life is that people cannot be controlled and we really cannot control circumstance. You can’t control the wind, but you can use it to your advantage. You can't control the weather, but you can control the atmosphere in your mind.
Why worry about things you can't control? Instead keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you. You cannot control the length of your days, but you can control the depth of your life. You cannot control the contour of your face, but you can control its expressions. Some of us lose control of our temper. Remember, the emptier the pot, the quicker the boil. We need to learn to control our thoughts; they may break into words and deeds we later regret. How true it is that 'a man's conquest of himself dwarfs the ascent of Everest'. He who lives without control is exposed to grievous ruin. So watch your temper.
Some people let their finances and their credit card debt get out of control. Some refuse to control their fantasy life or their pride. It may be a career that jeopardises your family. Learn to bring your life under control sooner rather than later.
If we spent more time in thinking of possible consequences, I’m sure we would bring our lives a little bit more under control. Sometimes when life spins out of control, we don’t know how to bring it back, which causes more spinning out of control, and more frantic behaviour. Sometimes an out of control thought or action creates a situation in which other things spin out of control and it causes a rippling effect.
Challenge
How do you bring your life under control? Think first, act later. Before you lose your temper, before you say a negative word, before you do the deed, think: what will the repercussion be?
