Giving into ourselves, weakens us. Only by denying “self” do we develop true power; the power to control ourselves and eventually our environment.
We are not mere animals, we are a ‘spirit-being’ in an ‘animalistic/carnal body’ which distinguishes us as separate from animals. Therefore, we are of higher things, things which enable us to overcome the carnal, animalistic impulses, urges, desires which only seek to destroy us and our destiny on our journeys into greatness.
Only the greatest have the ability to exercise and maintain self-control and self-discipline, why? Because he’s learnt how to develop that to the ability of good use.
That which we excrete drains us, releases us of our energy; that power source. We need to be careful of not only those we choose to give it to, but also be weary of those who try and take it from us.
To be truly great and powerful: ➡Self-control + discipline ➡denying self and selfish desires.
