And what is self-control?
Do not be mistaken by this word
and let yourself believe to be the controller of other's joys,
for the one that lives to control the life of another,
walks the path of a mere coward.
Self control is controlling anything that may affect
the "self' to function with its fullest purity.
No temptation must become a hindrance
and no obstacle must become your fear to
walk ahead, towards Me.
You must, O child, believe in yourselves
and have faith that you are capable to live life
with sweet perfection. Nothing more - nothing less!
To make this perfection a reality, you must exercise
the strictest discipline over your own weaknesses
and tendencies to fail. At all times, you must be alert
against the alarm of your own inner evils.
Once you have slipped into the folly of a mistake,
let not this mistake turn to become another habit.
The disease of bad habits must be broken with
the iron will that will not break under the cruelty of any torture.
Have the strength and the discipline to endure
all for letting your principles live and killing with it,
each time, a little more of your weakness that
gave in to sinful desires.
Know that desire will only let you slip
each time into a well that is deeper,
and when the end is near and you will call aloud for help,
the only voice that will respond to this desperate plea
will be your own pitiful echo, for when the voice of evil cries,
God will not respond.
Make a promise that you will not allow
your faults to repeat and allow them to break you.
You can enjoy the bliss of a game,
only when you observe its rules and regulations.
Similarly, to enjoy this bliss of existence,
one must observe divine principles, and only then,
will this game of life result in a peaceful victory.
