Acceptance & Rejection

Diving into this week’s episode, it’s all about willpower. Willpower ties into having the strength from within each and every one of us. Willpower wants us to control or restrain from impulses. We rely on willpower to create change in our lives...but what if we're thinking about it all wrong. This past week, I listened to Willpower Doesn't Work by Benjamin Hardy (link in the bio) He explains that willpower is nothing more than a dangerous fad-one that is bound to lead to failure. That if we really want to change, we have to change our environment and alter our surroundings to support your goals. The world around us is fast-paced, confusing, and full of distractions. It's easy to lose focus on what you want to achieve, and your willpower won't last long if your environment is in conflict with your goals-eventually, the environment will win out. Now, you are probably thinking, how the hell does willpower connect with herpes? Simple! Like Rafiki in the Lion King, “The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” Lessons will always be a consistent in life. The power relies within you!
