#20.
Religion does not aim very high.

There are good scientific reasons to engage in meditation, fasting, service, ect. that don’t require you believe anything on insufficient evidence.

The greater self control is most likely from a life time of avoiding the temptation of atheism.

I think this is a great article but would like to add that will power can also be significantly increased through yoga. There are a number of resources online to research this. I found the simple plank pose excellent for exercising your mental and physical willpower it also increases your core strength which enhances many aspects of your life. In my experience I have been amazed how the very real improvements core strength has affected my guitar playing and significantly strengthened my singing voice. Give it a try!

This is a great article.
I ran with the wrong crowd for a long time until deciding to take my fathers advice and will myself into a better life. And that’s what I did. My friends, however, didn’t have the genius dad I did. I’ve been slowly watching them, from a distance, waste their lives away. This article puts it into perfect perspective. In my opinion the references were flawless. I’ve already sent them all a copy and will be using it to help them master their will power as well. My dad would always say that will power is the only super power we’ll ever get.

Great article. I like it. Read the first two, will have to read this one in another chunk, it’s bed time and all, you know.
Digestion is as important as sugar. Being ADD, or certainly familiar with an element of it, causes its own conundrum on the sugary snack thing for a quick pick up. If that works for you and most, cool, but some of us? Whew! We better know so we don’t take that particular advice. Speaking in generalities, it’s probably solid. We will figure out our on tweaks when we have to. Sugar, blood sugar rise, insulin spike, sugar drop, nothing to back it up, low sugar is real stress, as you need it to live, if your adrenals work well, they kick in, cortisol up, tissue breakdown up, well, you can guess this might not be good for will power. You might reach for a fix from that thing that just broke you if you’re not careful: Sugar. Another conundrum. Keep it up, hope this isn’t an inane comment that misses the point. It’s still useful info and entertaining.
