Self-control is one of the key components of the self-development process. It is the capacity to encourage oneself to do the right things in life and maintain one's physical and spiritual desires. However, the root of this self-development lies in having strong willpower and disciplining oneself. Self-control produces a kind of self-confidence in us in the things that we think and feel are difficult to achieve. It creates a drive of perseverance in us that makes us accomplish our personal goals and holds us accountable for our choices. A person’s motivation empowers that person and makes it possible to accept challenges that assist us with developing proper self-control in our lives. Self-awareness is at the forefront of aspects that need to be dealt with for successful self-control. This means that one should first analyze one’s own personality to maintain their strengths and weaknesses. After this, we should try to resist the temptations that we face in life in relation to our personal weaknesses. This is to say that if one loves ice cream and is used to having it every day, eventually it becomes a habit to have, and then we should make every effort to limit it to twice a week. This is how a person strengthens and develops strong willpower, thereby contributing to one’s self-development. So, we can say that self-control is the absolute willingness to reject one’s own temptations to a particular thing or a task. This brings us to the next aspect of self-control, i.e., strong willpower. Our willpower forces us to take a serious look at how to complete a personal task. Most of us have the tendency to make up our minds for a critical mission, but due to our laziness or desire for other comforts, we are not able to abide by it. The most common example of this can be exercising in the morning, which we usually give up because we do not want to sacrifice our sleep. This is where we understand the essence of strong willpower. A person with strong willpower can give up certain comforts to establish and complete their goal. Nothing will ever grow inside your comfort zone. There is the aspect of self-discipline. All these three aspects of self-control are, however, interlinked. But each of them has a separate role to play in our daily lives. Self-discipline refers to fighting with one’s own thoughts and feelings. In this, one must discover the true power within oneself as to the root causes of one’s temptation and consciously negate it by getting involved in other interesting activities. This will, in turn, develop strong willpower. Analyzing the consequences, one’s actions in the future will also help in reducing the urge for temptations. Thus, self-awareness, strong will power, and self-discipline together lead to an effective and positive self-control of our life and further enhance our overall self-development and wellbeing. Having a deep, expansive communion with your higher Self is one of the most powerful and direct ways to access the Soul's ability to help you with all your choices. The experience is also exquisitely beautiful and profoundly intimate. More intimate than any human relationship. Who could know you better and love you more deeply than the being you came through to be on this earth?
