I was listening to a great podcast while making dinner last night on building habits in our children and the podcaster mentioned that she reminds her children nearly every day that a self-controlled man is a free man.
The podcast episode was so good I listened to it multiple times because, if I’m being honest, I need to learn the art of making and keeping habits myself.
That quote about the self-controlled man stuck with me though. How true a statement! Without self-control one is tossed to and fro like a leaf in the Autumn wind. Emotions will rise up and take control of the man rather than the man taking control of the emotion.
I want to get better at controlling my emotions and my desires. When I see an area where a habit would enhance my life I want to be able to follow through and protect the habit. I want to be diligent in the things that matter.
I want to be consistant and I want my children to be as well.
A self-controlled man is a free man…
