The development of willpower -I will, I won't and I want- may define what it means to be human.

When you choose to view your stress response as helpful, you create the biology of courage.

When your mind is preoccupied, your impulses—not your long-term goals—will guide your choices.

The development of willpower -I will, I won't and I want- may define what it means to be human.

People come up with resolutions that don’t reflect what matters most to them, and that makes them almost guaranteed to fail.

We all have the tendency to believe self-doubt and self-criticism, but listening to this voice never gets us closer to our goals. Instead, try on the point of view of a mentor or good friend who believes in you, wants the best for your, and will encourage you when you feel discouraged.

Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.
