It is certainly important for us to develop [[12 Practices of Self Awareness|self control and awareness of ourselves]] and have discipline over our impulses in many aspects of our lives. Self-control is an important attribute of [[Spiritual Maturity]], and an essential component of interconnection and feeling empathy for humanity and the planet. Achieving a healthy balance of self discipline and self control is an essential element of personal responsibility and accountability. Loss of self control leads to anxiety, unhappiness, anger, resentment, stress, feeling helpless, and even depression. Abdicating one's personal power over self control, by acting powerless, and playing the [[Victim-Victimizer]] role playing, is irresponsible and self destructive. But keep in mind that our personal and spiritual freedom ends where other's begins. One must honor human beings and life force in order to achieve a healthy balance with self discipline and control with considering the rights and needs of others and having respect for others. | It is certainly important for us to develop [[12 Practices of Self Awareness|self control and awareness of ourselves]] and have discipline over our impulses in many aspects of our lives.

Competence is successfully meeting an optimum challenge and is also a basic human need that is similar to but not the same as exerting healthy self control and self discipline. You can reasonably ask: How can I succeed at a task if I can't control the activities required for the task? .To help with a benchmark in making your own personal and private assessment of the leadership of a [[Group Consciousness]], spiritual community or other group, and the values which are espoused, I suggest that one applies “trust building” inquiries toward the spiritual leadership and the group’s mission statement. | |||
• Is there a group perception of competence and ability with the leadership role and is it demonstrated in ways that are competent and trustworthy? Can you place yourself in the leadership position? Are they emotionally and mentally competent and consistent with the community operation and management? Do you feel yourcompetency level with tasks at hand is any better? | |||
