Do you realize how often you give into destructive behavior to experience shallow, fleeting pleasure? When carried too far, soon these negative habits cease to bring you even momentary pleasure.
Yet, there is a much more fulfilling and life-affirming way. It is positive self-control. As soon as you choose it, not only do you avoid the destructive behavior, you build the strength to overcome them.
Beginning today begin to practice self-control. It is not easy, for it takes effort and commitment to overcome the negative impulse; however, you will soon see the difference it has in your life.
