Why can’t I control my anger? Or stop overeating? Or wasting time online?
Why can't I seem to finish my projects? Or make progress in my spiritual life?
Why do I fall for the same stupid temptations over and over again?
When
we fail, its easy to make excuses or blame our circumstances. But let’s
face it: the biggest enemy is usually the one staring back at us from
the mirror every morning.
We lack self-control.
Self-control
isn’t very popular these days. We tend to think of it as boring,
confining, the cop that shows up and shuts down the party. But the truth
is that people who cultivate this vital virtue lead freer, happier, and
more meaningful lives. After all, our bad habits—from the slight to the
serious—bring a host of painful consequences. Ultimately, they keep us
from becoming the people God created us to be.
Your Future Self Will Thank You is
a compassionate and humorous guide to breaking bad habits and growing
your willpower. It explores Scripture’s teachings on how to live a
disciplined life while offering practical strategies for growth based on
the science of self-control. Whether you want to deepen your spiritual
life, conquer an addiction, or kick your nail-biting habit, this book
will help you get motivated, stay on track, and achieve your goals.
Sure, self-control is hard, but it doesn’t have to be that hard. Get the help you need to be freer, happier, and more productive. Your future self will thank you!
