on mental discipline
great is a man who conquers countries
but greater is a man who conquers himself
- Proverbs

strengthening of the higher mind to obtain mental discipline is challenging.. i do know it takes time to master the impulses of the human mind.. which is often attached to our earthly emotions such as anger..
it takes a conscious effort to think for a moment before acting.. most of the time, we often go with what is easier which is to react at the heat of moment..
but like what my pangga said.. in every situation, these questions should be asked.. why am i feeling this way? do i like feeling this way? if not, what can do about it?
i always have a choice.
easier said than done, right?
that is why it requires conscious effort for me.. until the time it becomes natural =)

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference

Yup. Definitely easier said than done. Pero, kaya mo yan Jane!
most of the time it's better to think before you act. but there are also times when it's healthier to just react on instinct. notice i didn't say "better". hehehe! it's just for your own sanity. =P
