Journal 11

Life for me is like many others trying to find their way through their own jungle of life. Each jungle has its dangers and challenges no matter the direction they head in. I think that I am pretty sure of the general direction which I am headed, but I have many other little degrees of changes to make in determining my final destination. The dangers and challenges which I face can and will probably influence the degrees of change that I undergo. But the amount of change depends on the way that I handle the challenges. Would I become discouraged, or overstressed. Or will I be able to control my emotions and be able to handle the problems.
Self Control is the key to being able to handle many problems in life. To control ones anger or even to control ones mere thoughts resulting in a change in being will make all weaknesses become strengths. Everyone has the ability to change and control themselves. Although it may be harder for some people due a variety of reasons, we each have the ability to use self control. First, they must learn to see the flaws in themselves. Second, they must teach themselves discipline. Third, they need the desire to change that flaw. Only then can one learn to control themselves.
My objective for this journal is to relate this to my work in class. The relation comes with a problem that I face. Knowing my direction, I now must handle the challenges that lie on this path, but I cant seem to get past the second step to handling each challenge well. My problem is time. I am jugling too many things at the same time and I have to choose which I have to sacrifice. In the mean time I am sacrificing schoolwork; one of which I do not want to lack.
