self control

All beings are nice, if they have a lil self control
All beings are tolerant, if they have a lil self control
All beings are lovely, if they have a lil self control
All beings are equal, if they have a lil self control
So what is self control?? Its about controlling the feelings in you. Have a lil self control about your hobbies. Don't go crazy about it? Have a lil self control about spending. You wanna go bancrupt?... hmmm

Self control is the exertion of one's own will on their personal self - their behaviors, actions, thought processes. Much of this comes from the perception of self and the ability to set up boundaries for that self. Self-control can be expanded into several different areas, ranging from respect to willpower. Self-control has variable effects on people. It can be affected because of illness and past experiences and it can be improved through the course of life. It is a personal and development of the mind's creation and personality, thus the self-control of one's own mind will be varied from one person to the next. Many religions have teachings about self control. In Galatians 5:22, Paul describes it as one of the fruits of the Spirit, and in Titus he says `Urge the younger men to be self controlled.' (2:6) Dhammapada 80 and 145 say, "Irrigators lead the waters. Fletchers bend the shafts. Carpenters bend wood. The virtuous control themselves."

Lately, i'd been talking to people with great minds. I don't know why, i always asked how would one think about me. Last time, NOw?M very defensive. Whatever people says right things about me, i'll try convincing that i'm not... And i'm very straight forward. That is what my other friend say about me. Make constructive remarks. Keep whatever's that unneccessary. Its good to be honest, but you can't be honest always. Opz? Sounds wrong..hahaha
Ya.. i agree .. Queen shared her thoughts with me bout me. I seriously agree. And this time, i realize myself doing it. So where's my self control? And how do i learn how to expect as defined? Great thought huh? Having expectations, that is relevant, that is adequate.

I have decades to go if the almighthy grant me a long life. Shall i step up and learn today, anyhting would then be possible. thANKS ppl.. it was a great enlightenment.
