“As far as your self-control goes, as far goes your freedom.” – Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Can you control yourself?
When the impulses come – to eat, to yell, to fight, to be lazy, to take the easy way out, to cheat – can you control yourself then?
“Discipline comes through self-control. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.” -Napoleon Hill
As often as we can lose it, we should be reminded about it.

An interesting thing about self-control, many people have a healthy dose of it in many areas of their lives but then slip in a few other areas. Those few areas of slippage can have a major impact on our lives.
Self-control (or will power) can be inconsistent and unreliable. Habits and routines are stronger, so building them around areas that are known to be non beneficial temptations is added protection.
