Temperance. Temperance is moderation or self-restraint in both word and action. You could also say that temperance is the power you have to control yourself. Your willpower, your self-discipline. A great English poet has said, "The happiness of a man in this life doesn't consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions." Happiness, as an individual and also as a business manager, can be attained when we empower ourselves through employing self-discipline or temperance. Temperate is an important principle as it relates to entrepreneurs learning to be outstanding managers. It is a word which exemplifies the essence of Self-Control. As you go about managing your ideas and business building activities, having power over your emotions is an essential trait. You ought to rule over your emotions whether you're experiencing extreme happiness or extreme sadness; neither emotion will serve you well in business. This word also involves controlling excesses. Excesses can take control of both you and your organization. For instance, an excess in spending can become as addictive as drugs. Consider these exercises this week: -Eat until your full; ignore what your mom used to tell you, and do not be concerned with cleaning off your plate. -Rather than laughing, just smile. -Go without a habit for one week: try no coffee, no alcohol, or perhaps no burgers (just to help you practice self-discipline to master the trait of TEMPERANCE). This week, try some of these exercises to increase your self control and temperance. Self control is a great deal like a muscle of the body, when you use it, it gets stronger and more powerful. If you don't use it, it becomes weak. Decide today to utilize temperance and self-discipline to and improve your life and your business.
