To truly be the master of our own lives we must first learn to master ourselves. The power of self-control as an ally in the quest for peace is essential for understanding truth. It provides discipline and limits the self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. It is easier to surrender to the bondage of blame, not only blaming others but our situations through which we find justification for lack of self-control.

Self-mastery or control of thought is first; second the disciplining of emotions, and finally choosing how we act. To many times through the years I have sat and listened to lost and hurting souls express how a lack of self-mastery has cost them dearly, I as well have felt that pain. The power of self-control is what sets us apart from being lost and subject to the worlds definition of which we will never measure up, and the true freedom of accountability.

Self-mastery and control of thought is an imperative piece of the puzzle when living life in integrity toward oneself, toward others, and toward the world as a whole.
