Lesson 4

Establishing a Control Journal

You might find your life a little or a lot out of control. The side effects of this are anxiety, loss of productivity and stress. There is 1 thing in life that you can control and that is YOU. So, take control of what you do, what you think and who you interact with. 

Let's focus on what you do. The most successful people are highly disciplined in what they do: with their time, their body and mind. These are the people who get good grades, go on to their next chosen journey, succeed and go on to the next. They are usually fairly happy because they don't have to worry about things like finances or job security to the same extent as others who lack discipline.

There are many books you could devour to inspire you. Two that come to mind are:

• The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin https://www.amazon.com/Franklins-Autobiography-Eclectic-English-Classics-ebook/dp/B0052GE5GC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1YCF41HG6GFDE&dchild=1&keywords=autobiography+of+benjamin+franklin&qid=1600348343&sprefix=autobiography+of+benj%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-3
