MR. RICK’S ABC’S
Sometimes the best solution
is the simplest one.
If you’re having issues with self-control, then you have to know where you went wrong in your decision making process.
Your Attitude which is what you think or feel.
Your Behavior which is what you say or do.
Your Character which is what you show to others, (your reputation).
Self-control is where you need to focus.
Hence, Mr. Rick’s ABC’s.
If your attitude is bad, your behavior will be too.
If your behavior is bad long enough, it will affect your character…what you show to others, ultimately your reputation.
Lack of self-control is the beginning of trouble.
Through:
Group discussions
Role-playing
Examples of moral dilemmas
Personal experiences
You can learn to use this simple tool to evaluate where you went wrong and how you can change your attitude, behavior or character.
