Will (or won't) power

You may sometimes get sick of me saying that we need to strengthen our 'change" muscle or focus on increasing tolerance for frustration (short term pain (i.e. not having the Tim Tams) to create long term gain).  Well, this article talks about the science behind willpower, self-control and how beneficial distraction can be to assist us to hang in for the long term gain.

I loved this quotation in the article  "People with low willpower use it to get themselves out of crises. People with high willpower use it not to get themselves into crises."

I am definitely going to try and tone that muscle - the less crises in life, the better.
