Willpower Crisis

Willpower Crisis

Every day, new temptations cloaked in multiple forms are produced to steal your precious attention: new addictive food, new video game, new gadget that could raise your social-status ranking. They prey on your pleasure and invade your attention through every outlet.

These enticements clearly outnumber you. Stopping them from procreating is futile, and so is spearheading them. Do not confront a battle you can’t win.

It behooves you to overcome your pleasure before you can use your resources to do what you must do.
