Directing the Flow

The EIGHTH Law of Success is SELF-CONTROL. Enthusiasm arouses action; self-control directs that action.

When you lose control, you lose power – you are giving it away to the situation. You must maintain your personal power and direct your actions in a constructive way, or your energy is dissipated. Think of water. Without a container, it flows wherever it can. With a container, you can direct the flow. It’s the same with our enthusiasm and self-control. Self-control directs the flow of enthusiasm to your chosen aims.

Thought control is key to self-control. Program yourself with positive, constructive thoughts that harmonize with your Definite Chief Aim. Listen to success-oriented audios, read inspiring books, hang out with like-minded, upbeat, positive people.
