WILLPOWER CHANGES YOURSELF

Willpower, Self-control, and Self-discipline are the virtue of being able to control emotions, behavior, and gratification with the use of motivation. As simple as it may sound, willpower and self-control have an incredible impact in a person's life. It affects all aspects in a person such as discipline, responsibility, productivity, morality, and basically everything else. Willpower is the key factor that determines the quality and length of a person's life. Perhaps the clearest demonstration of a person's willpower is his decisions. A person's decisions are influenced by two things; rational thoughts, and primitive thoughts. The rational thoughts are processed in the pre-frontal cortex, while primitive thoughts or reactions are processed in the ventral striatum. This means that the ability to think logically and analyze situations more intelligently is the effects of rational thinking, while impulsive reactions based on instincts and desires are the effects of primitive thinking.Willpower is also called to resolve, determination, self-control, self-discipline, and drive. However, many psychologists characterize the term willpower or self-control in very distinct ways. According to them, willpower is defined as your ability to resist short-term temptations in order to achieve long-term goals; your capacity to delay gratification; your ability to override any unwanted thought; and your ability to have a cool or calm cognitive system of behavior rather than having an emotionally hot system.Willpower is your ability to hold back any desire or impulsive actions that will have effects on you in the future.
