^Self-control ^Poise ~properly~ ~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~ though we ^Tend to ^Fail ^More from it. 
    5. ^Wait for it. 
  2. ^Work ~alone~. 
    1. ^Minimize or ^Moderate ~consequence~ except ^Where important or to ~focus~ our ~desire~ for it. 
    2. ^Choose the ~BEST~ that is within our power. 
    3. ^Improve and ^Practice other modes of ^Progress until ~long-term~ is mastered. 
    4. ^Hold each aspect of our ^Motivation in ~poise~ ~equal~ to its ~dual~ (for ~example~, ^Harmony and ^Focus). 

Subject

^Self-control is a ^Super mode of our ^Agency yet efforts to obtain it prove a challenge because it acts in ~opposition~ to our ^Agency also.  From this ~process~ we ^Choose ~betterment~ with ^Care. 

For those ^Who ^Dance ~well~ but do not ~know~ ^When or ^How to ^Refuse it.  That's you!  For those ~who~ ~think~ they ^Dance ~well~ but ^Need to ^Work on their timing.  That is you ^Again but don't ^Worry.  To ^Learn to ^Wait 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 towards ^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.
