Day 20

Self-control is at the core of being a powerful person. Self-control means that you can tell yourself what to do and you can make yourself do it. The ability to control yourself is what enables you to create a safe place for trust and intimacy in a relationship, a place where you can say to someone, "I'm going to be okay no matter what you do, because I always know what I'm going to do." .
