365 Days With Self-Discipline 365 Life-Altering Thoughts on Self-Control, Mental Resilience, and Success by Martin Meadows (z-lib.org).epub

Day 3: On Being a Human

Willpower  is  what  separates  us  from  the  animals.  It’s  the  capacity  to

restrain our impulses, resist temptation — do what’s right and good for us

in the long run, not what we want to do right now. It’s central, in fact, to

civilization.

—Roy Baumeister

 

3

Humans have the capacity to act against their urges in exchange for a

better future. Unfortunately, many people live by the principle of “if it feels

good, do it, and if it doesn’t, don’t do it.”

Caving in to your temptations whenever you feel them emerge is like

relinquishing your humanity, in a way. As an intelligent human being, you

have an ability — and I daresay an obligation — to make decisions that are

based on rational thinking, not on your instincts alone.

Strive to be a better human and embrace your humanity by exercising

your “willpower muscle,” instead of succumbing to your most primal (and

least helpful for your long-term goals) part of the brain. Your most primal

instincts may provide temporary comfort, but seldom are good for the long

term, except when there is a direct threat to your survival.
