Your answer is in the final word of your question-habits.  A habit is a strong force.  Something stronger than the habit is needed to impose the changes necessary.  A law against drugs may not stop someone from using them but being arrested and detained sure will.  The threat of lung cancer may not be enough to stop someone from smoking but a positive biopsy or an uncontrollable cough may do the trick.  Also a habit doesn't form over night and doesn't go away over night.  I quit drugs, smoking and alcohol abuse over a period of time but still struggle with poor eating habits.  I strive to teach and train my children to develop better habits and higher levels of self control so they won't have to face the same challenges.  For those of you who don't have issues with bad habits and addictions you should thank your parents.  Even if your memories of child hood are not pleasant you can't deny that you were trained somehow to have the self control to over come these habits or the fortitude and good judgment to not fall into them.  I did not have that advantage and struggle every day as do many other people.  Be compassionate and have some empathy if you wish to understand why oh why some people...

you can only control how you feel....perhaps your question should be...how do I control this sensitivity I possess? You can't control other people........only yourself.

just like anyone else we can learn self control, discipline, and to evaluate our feelings and analyze what we are feeling and see that they may be unjust. I don't think anyone is ever magically better. this is something that constantly challenges us, and we'll always have to deal with it, but that's what's going to force us to grow as better people. It's a hurdle, not a wall. we can get over it. we can get thru it, and we can be stronger than it, and we can even beat it.

Discretion has to do with both timing and compassion.  Sadly enough, most do not used it at all.  When you become upset at someone who has hurt you deeply, it is human nature to respond in a harsh manner.   However, it is far better to controll yourself and wait for the right TIME and explain your point of view.  A man or woman of valor is composed and uses self controll.  He or she knows when to speak and when not to speak.  He or she knows when to confront and when not to confront.  Sometimes, it is best to allow circumstances and life's lessons to do the speaking for you.    It is not about being a whimp; it is about thinking before you act.  When you think things through, it is always better than the impulsive knee jerk reaction that we are programed to employ.   Being a person of valor cost much, and learning to refrain before acting out is a price one must pay.

It's called 'do as I say, not as I do." A shocking number of people follow that logic and don't think anything of it. \n\nHonestly though, I don't think alot of people know to practice what they preach unfortunately.

You have been dominated and controlled and you need to take control for, and also of, yourself.  You are not mental, or a failure!\nGet some self assertion classes and think about what you want from life.  Then make some decisions and carry them through.  i promise you, you will feel much better when you are doing what you want to be doing...good luck...;

It is hereditary in so far as every person on the planet could become an addict, so that has been past to all of us straight down from Adam.  It comes down to the individual on whether or not they can fight the temptation to begin, or after having begun to quit.  So, the real question is "Is self control a hereditary trait?"

Self-harm, mostly.  I am quitting in "baby steps".   I stopped self-cutting, but still self-biting and self-punching.  At least I see that as a small improvement from cutting.  :-/   I also abuse diet pills.  Again "baby steps".  That is an improvement from laxative abuse.  :-/\n\nI am working on it, I am working on it!!!! :-p

Self-discipline and goal setting. If you want to watch tv, tell yourself, If I write 2 pages now, I'll take a break and get a snack and watch TV. Even if you never get back to the paper til the next day, atleast you started something. Set little goals and make a list of what you want to get done and then reward yourself when you accomplish each goal.

I had this exact assignment for university three semesters ago.  I'll give you an idea of the tought process I followed to get to my philosophy.  First I started to think about how I think students learn, their different styles of learning; and my own teaching style.  I try to back all my points by examples, from books or from my own teaching experience, to prove what I believed in.  I think the most important part is to write about what you really believe in.  I'll e-mail you the first draft of my philosophy so you get a better idea of what I'm talking about.  Take into consideration that I'm an ESL teacher in Guatemala and that there are several experiences that deal with my own private teaching.

Fate is not a Christian teaching. God does have a plan and a way God would like us to choose and give instructions in the Bible and through sermons and religious study but God does not force us to make any decission and does not impose God's will on us. We are the master of our own destiny but with God and following God's direction we can achieve great and wounderous things and have God's assistance in doing so. If we choose another way we loose God's help and God may try to steer us in a different direction especially if the road we are on is truly dangerous. Even then we choose to follow the path we are on or change course.\n\nIt is all our choice.
