Perfect Your Desires

One of the things I've learned relatively recently in life is that it's way more important to perfect your desires if you want to do something than it is to try to do that thing when your desire is not 100%.

An example would be like… you know, self-discipline. When we say, "Okay, I want self-discipline," you know, like to eat healthy food, you might be constantly fighting with yourself. "Oh, I just ate unhealthy food," or, "Oh, I just ate healthy food."

But I think if you look at the desired component, if you had the desire to eat the healthy food, then I think you would do it effortlessly. You wouldn't need the self-discipline.

So what that means is it's way more important to figure out what are the tastiest healthy foods that you like and to make sure that they're always available to you, as opposed to just having a constant self-discipline while putting yourself in environments where the tasty healthy food isn't around.

I think that observation applies to a lot more things, and I'll probably be reusing it more.
