Unwanted Behavior? - Buddhist Wisdom

You yourself should reprove yourself, should examine yourself.

As a self-guarded monk with guarded self, mindful, you dwell at ease.

Your own self is your own mainstay.

Your own self is your own guide.

Therefore you should watch over yourself--as a trader, a fine steed.

-Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
