Conquering Yourself 101

Conquering Yourself 101

  “Conquer yourself, not the world” I’m going to ask you guys, what do you think is the actual meaning of this quotation? Because for me this quote simply means or talks about discipline. To be more specific, It’s all about “self-discipline” of a person.

      

  It starts by stating “conquer yourself” They say that the greatest victory is the conquering of self. For me it’s not just the greatest victory, but the first victory. Nothing else is of consequence until you have gained some self-discipline, or the mastery of yourself. Just look at the famous celebrities now, most of them are being idolized by most of us not just because of their looks, or how rich and famous they are, most of all is because of their behavior or self-discipline.

      

  But in order to conquer yourself or gain some self-discipline, you must first know who you really are. According to the famous philosopher Socrates “the unexamined life is not worth living” so you must understand your true identity or your own self. It can help you think of a way to conquer yourself, you shouldn’t be like those who don’t care at all about their attitudes whether these are good or bad. Some people believe that “if you’re rich, then you’re rich”, “if you’re the smartest, so be it” they don’t even care what kind of attitude they have.

      

  In addition some of them well only believe what their opinions are. They will not pay attention to others. They will start to step aside and ignore your opinions, feelings or even emotions of others.

       

I believe that one will really like you because you’re rich. No one will ever like you just because you’re smart. No one will like you nor even love you just because you’re famous .If you don’t have a heart. I don’t  literally mean the heart inside our body , but what I am referring to is  the feeling, emotion, attitude, manner and self-discipline rolled into one. Maybe you can’t conquer the world at all, but you can be a better person for the world, a better person for our society. So I’m going to ask you one last question ,“have you conquered yourself yet?” ask yourself. Because if not then you should start right now, like RIGHT NOW! That’s all thank you.
