Before one can be master of things one must first master self.

The biggest obstacles that most will have to overcome is that of self.

More than anything else we often get in our own way.

Practice discipline.

A disciplined and orderly mind bring about substantial and repeatable results.

If one desires to have repeatable success over an extended period discipline is the key.

 

Practice self-control.

One who knows not how to control self is vulnerable to limitless defeat for a lifetime.

He or she is often a slave to a multitude of passions, always ruled but never the conqueror.

• Know your limitations
• Recognize your temptations and avoid them.
• Know when to say no, and know when to say yes.
• In all things, there must be a balance. Too much of anything is gluttonous and weighs the spirit, mind, and the body. Too little lends to starvation of the like.

First learn to master yourself and then learn to master that which you wish to become.

Everything else will fall into place.
