Patience and Anger

If you are patient in one moment of anger,
you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

Self-Discipline

Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts.
If you don't control what you think,
you can't control what you do.
Simply, self-discipline enables you
to think first and act afterward.

 Napoleon Hill

Contrast

It’s okay to have down days and tough times.  Expecting life to be wonderful all the time is wanting to swim in an ocean in which waves only rise up and never come crashing down. 
 However, when you recognize that the rising and crashing waves are part of the exact same ocean, you are able to let go and be at peace with the reality of these ups and downs. 
 It becomes clear that life’s UPs require life's DOWNS.

Mindfulness Mediatation

Mindfulness meditation, which cultivates awareness of the present moment and clears the mind of other thoughts, may help to counteract the very human problem of being unable to say “enough is enough.” Whether that means being unable to get out of a destructive relationship, repeatedly making bad financial decisions, or even continuing to eat when you know you’re full, meditation can help you make better decisions. 
Here’s why you can do it: Meditation requires only that you sit quietly and focus on your

breath. 

Acknowledge

We cannot change what we refuse to confront. 
You must acknowledge what the problem is and how it’s manifesting in your life. 
You cannot change what you do not acknowledge.
