Meditation and Willpower

The Art and Science of Happiness with Turiya Moore

Is there anyone in this room who could use more willpower? There are a few of us right? Basically willpower is like a muscle. Something we develop over time. I’m out of shape, so if I was going to the gym for first time I would not pick up the heaviest weights. I would start with something I can handle. Start small. The thing is that if you want to develop willpower choose something you want to overcome that you believe is within reach. Not the biggest tests. Start small. But be extremely rigid even violent if that is what is needed to break that little habit. It might be a certain food or attitude.
