^Tact ^Properly ^Poise ~self-control~ ~proper~

Figure

An arc on the path from Helpful to Self-control. A green propeller shows our progress as we Choose self-control: Act, Feel, Think.

Annotate

  1. ^Loom until we have ^Self-control. 
    1. ^Care about it. 
    2. ^Choose for sake of it without ~result~. 
    3. ^Wait without ~reward~. 
    4. ^Care ^Again in ~repeat~ although we ^Tend to ^Fail ^More from it. 
    5. ^Wait for it. 
  2. ^Work ~alone~. 
    1. ^Minimize or ^Moderate ~consequence~ except ^Where it is ~important~ to ^Focus our ~desire~ for it. 
    2. ^Choose the ~BEST~ that is within our ~power~. 
    3. ^Improve and ^Practice other modes of ^Progress until we ^Master ~patience~. 
    4. In ~context~ of any ^Principal mode ^Let the ^One ~part~ of our ~motivation~ ^Equal its ~dual~.  For ~example~, ^Let ~harmony~ ^Equal ~focus~. 

Subject

^Self-control is a ^Super mode of ^Agency yet our ~effort~ to ^Obtain it may ^Prove itself a ~challenge~ because it can ^Act in ~opposition~ to our ~agency~ also.  From this ~process~ we ^Choose ~betterment~ with ~care~. 

For those ^Who ^Dance ^Well but don't ^Know ^When or ^How to ^Refuse it.  That is you!  For those ^Who ^Think they ^Dance ^Well but ^Need to ^Work on their ~rhythm~.  That is you ^Again but don't ^Worry.  ^Learn to ^Wait… that is the ^Whole thing, and it may ^Come ^One ^Day.  ^Sleep on it every ^Day and ^Try ^Again in the morning.  You got the ~patience~ for it.  I ^Know it! 

We have a ~rhythm~ within our ~body~ wherein we ^Rest and ^Digest.  ^Likewise we ^Need ~strength~ to ^Wait to ^Achieve ^Self-control. 

^As we ^Gain ^Self-control ^Among ourselves, others and our world, we ^Move toward ^Moderate ~agency~ ^Among ourselves, others and our world.  So, ^Less ~agency~ from ^When it is at a ~maximum~, and ^More ~agency~ from ^When it is at a ~minimum~.  Do you ^See ^How? 

Target

Anytime we have ^Become ^Helpful and have ^Sufficient ~strength~ to ^Try.
