Self-control is your inner guidance telling you to put down the donut, control your words and tongue, get to your job and appointments on time, turn off the porn, get out of the mall, turn off the TV, turn away from tempting flirtation, resist lies and a “Me and Mrs. Jones” affair, get on the treadmill, read your Bible, get up an hour earlier to avoid rushing and being late to work, shut your mouth and choose your battles wisely, finish your task at hand, hang up your clothes, save and tithe your money, return that phone call, put down the soda and drink some water, etc.
Learning self-discipline in the little things of life prepares the way for big successes.
