Ten Seconds of Self-Control

Ten seconds of self-control can often keep a man out of trouble. 

Aurelius Kadzius

Pause and think logically for 10 seconds before choosing out of anger, loss of faith, or desperation to get into some drama or punishment for things long past. Most lousy decisions can be stopped by one such pause. 

Asking a simple question: How much pain do I want to inflict on myself and why? Getting out of your way is simple: stack up enough good choices, and there you will see a good outcome. 

You are working on what is known as compound interest. It does work; the return on investment is a good life. 

Not a quiet life, not one without challenges or events that will shake the foundation of your beliefs of the world, but still good. 

It's still worth waking up for and actively being involved in it. Even that is a choice.

Before moving forward in an emotionally kinetic event, think, use logic, and reason for 10 seconds prior to making your choice. It may stop a titanic amount of heartache later down your timeline.
