Here is the obvious, but rarely acknowledged reason why we must dig in and do the difficult inner work needed for real self-transformation: if we don't change, we gradually come to wholly embody the very weaknesses whose destructive nature we wish weren't (living) within us. The courage to see the truth of this inevitable outcome gives us the reason, the will and the courage we need to succeed in our quest to regain command over our own heart, mind, and soul.

"Wait Two Minutes"
We must see that in unwanted moments we are commanded by a lower nature that we are unconscious to, and we identify with the familiar thoughts and feelings that it presents. Real self command can only be realized through our willingness to see the truth of ourselves.
In an unwanted moment, wait two minutes before you give into the demands of the nature that wants to command you. If you can wait two minutes, you are going to learn something about what is commanding you that you did not know the moment before. Whatever you can learn about the unseen part of you that now commands you, puts you that much closer to being in command of it.
