There are four types of willpower. And all of them withdraw from the same supply of strength: * Control of thoughts (e.g. trying to keep your mind from singing Justin Bieber's "Baby") * Control of emotions ("I will not get angry at this customer who just licked their finger to remove a ring") * Impulse control (classic willpower: "I will not stop at Cinnabons on the way home today" * Performance control (focusing your energy on the task at hand, being fast and accurate, and continuing when you feel like stopping.) With all these different types of control drawing from the same finite supply of willpower, is there any surprise that 99% of the New Year's resolutions you've made in your lifetime haven't succeeded? http://vedicartandscience.com/vedic-astrology-fifth-house-emotional- intelligence/
