Control Yourself or Be Controlled
TAUGHT BY Jason Armour
IPracticing self-control is essential to steering clear of negative influences that can lead to incarceration. When emotions, impulses, or peer pressure take over, poor decisions often follow, increasing the risk of entanglement in the justice system. Developing discipline and thinking before acting helps prevent regrettable choices and allows you to focus on long-term goals. Self-control empowers you to resist destructive behaviors, enabling a path toward personal growth and success. Without it, external forces—be it the law, circumstances, or other people—can dictate your life, stripping you of freedom and opportunities. Take charge of your actions today, because the choices you make define your future.
