I was recently reading about a study done at Florida State University that showed willpower can be strengthened by practicing it, just like strengthening muscles. You can also overdo it, like many people do after the New Year, which leads to fatigue and failure.
That makes sense to me. And it seems that much of society is losing willpower strength because we are not forced to use it at all anymore. Just about everything seems to be instant nowadays. And we have everything at our fingertips - we don't ever have to go without anything. And if we do, well that's ok, there's probably a pill for that.
I'm going to try and practice willpower every day.
