If you are not overweight and you’re reading this eBook, let’s think about
another typical way that you can fall short as you grow in willpower. How
about: you will refrain from buying a new pair of shoes when you have a little
left over from your paycheck? There’s a true test!
You will show your willpower by not going to the mall or walking down the city
street with shoe stores that feature inviting display windows. Rather, you will
put that $100 in your savings account and prepare for your launch of a small
business in a few years. Willpower often must have a logical reason to
continue, and it does not function well in people who live by their emotions.
You must believe 100% that not buying shoes will help you to achieve both
your short- (saving $200/month) and long-term (launching a small business)
goals.
In many ways, willpower sacrifices short-term gratification for long-term
happiness. That is the opposite of what many societies tell us, but it is
absolutely true. A 50-year marriage is usually much more enjoyable than a 5-
year marriage ended by an affair, which usually goes nowhere anyway.
Build your willpower by resisting the entreaties of a potential lover, by putting
money in the bank, not into new shoes, by eating yogurt rather than
doughnuts.
By the way, when you do fail and suffer a consequence for it, don’t fall back
into the mind-set that the ―stars are not aligned‖ for you. That is a destructive
attitude that cannot get you to where you want to go. Your boyfriend has not
called in four days because you cursed him out in anger the last time you
were on the phone. You abandoned willpower and let your tongue loose. Now,
you are not building your relationship the way you want to, and your goal of
marrying that man and raising a family with him is in some peril. It has nothing
to do with the stars! It has everything to do with you and your actions.
When the going gets tough in embracing willpower, try this technique:
