My biggest learning this year!

This year taught me one thing. I had to test my will power. I realised I was not as strong as I thought. I gave in to small temptations. They lasted only two minutes but the regret stayed much longer. Those moments showed me how weak my self control was.

So I started working on it. I treated it like a habit. Some days I did well. Some days I failed. But I kept trying. I spent a lot of time on YouTube listening to people who speak about discipline and focus. People like Jordan Peterson, David Goggins and Dandapani. I was trying to understand how they stay steady even when things get tough.

From a simple psychological view will power is your mind learning to sit with discomfort. Your brain wants quick comfort. When you pull away from it you feel restless. That is the real fight. Not with the world but with your own urges.

The one thing that helped me is consistency. Even a little bit every day. I still make mistakes. I still struggle. I am not where I want to be. But I can see myself getting a little stronger.

And I know that if I keep going I will build the will power I want. Slowly but surely.
