Self-control, or self-restraint, brings true improvement and personal growth to our lives. When we apply discipline to our emotional tendencies, we can better cope with situations.
Self-control strengthens us in dealing with adversity and helps us thwart various tactical challenges in our lives. It aids in strategic decision-making because our cognitive skills improve and decisions become deliberate.
This ability, which improves our lives, also provides impetus through developing perseverance and resilience. Achieving small goals helps us set bigger goals.
Therefore, self-control provides us with volition to improve in personal and professional life and helps enhance the quality of life.
