A.C. Green's Rules
NBA Iron Man A.C. Green played in 1,192 straight games. That streak spanned 15 seasons. Before his retirement, the last time he had missed a game was 1986. Put it this way -- the last time A.C. sat out, you might not have been born yet!
But A.C. doesn't just exercise his body...he also exercises self control.
Check out A.C.'s rules and then make your own rules for success.
- I control what I see and hear. I don't watch television and movies that show people having sex, or listen to music that tells me to have sex.
- I stay away from pressure situations. I don't invite a woman to my house at midnight to hang out or watch a movie. If someone wants to keep talking when it's getting late, I suggest a time the next day when we can get together.
- I use the buddy system. I often bring a friend with me instead of being alone with a woman. It's easier to control myself when someone is there with me, holding me accountable.
- I prepare myself in advance. I don't let myself be drawn in by a woman who wants to get me. If I give in to the pressure, I'll be sorry for it later. I think ahead about the actions I will take in a situation.
- I have support from friends. I make sure that I hang out with friends who are also committed to abstinence. There's no substitute for having good friends who believe like you and believe in you.
