To Gain Control Of Your Life: Get Control Of Yourself!

Life becomes increasingly difficult when we have not learned to take control our own thoughts, impulses, desires, and actions.

Once we learn and apply this self discipline to our lives we will be surprised at how much easier and enjoyable our lives truly could have been all along.

To get control of yourself you must submit your will to what you know is right (in the sight of God). Therein lies the problem most of us face.

Giving up control to get control. 

We must recognize that our view is almost totally from the inside looking out, never from the outside looking inward, and at best if we are able to be objective enough and come close to seeing from both perspectives, we still filter everything we see through our own prejudices.

We need an outside objective, brutally honest perspective of ourselves, so that we can truly see who we are and what the shortcomings are that needs to be addressed. Once this is done. we must act doing what we know is right even though it will feel very uncomfortable because the path is new and unfamiliar.

But eventually it will become familiar and start to become increasingly comfortable and enjoyable and you will soon be living the life you've always dreamed of. You then will be in control of your life because you have gained control of yourself be yielding your will to the righteousness of God.
