Day 13: On What You Want Now and What You

Want Most

Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want

most.

—Unknown

If  you’re  on  a  diet  and  decide  to  eat  a  piece  of  chocolate,  you’re

deciding that the instant fleeting pleasure is worth it more than your long-

term goals.

Obviously,  one  piece  of  chocolate  doesn’t  immediately  translate  to

gaining weight, but it sets a precedent that (over the long term) does change

your body in such a way that it reflects your preference for “what you want

now,” not “what you want most.”

Each  time  you  make  a  choice  that  favors  instant  gratification,  your

behavior  signals  that  you  have  weak  motivators.  If  your  “reasons  why”

were strong enough, you’d be less likely to go with what you want now .

Imagine  a  straight  line.  On  one  end,  there’s  the  satisfaction  you  get

from  what  you  want  now  ,  and  on  the  other  end,  there’s  the  satisfaction

you’ll get from what you want most . If the two ends are close to each other

— meaning you only want what you want most a little bit more than what

you  want  now  —  you’ll  have  a  problem  delaying  gratification.  If,  on  the

other hand, the thing you want most is so much more rewarding than what

you want now, you’ll have an easier time resisting the temptation .

To  achieve  your  long-term  goals,  make  sure  that  the  satisfaction  you

get from what you want most is always much stronger than the satisfaction

you can get from what you want now.
