🏛️ Stoic Quote

“Why do I keep repeating harmful behaviors/habits when I know they are bad for me?” Because they give you pleasure or help you avoid discomfort. And you are too weak to let go of a little pleasure or to bear a little discomfort. - @TheAncientSage

In modern life, we often find ourselves succumbing to unhealthy habits like overeating or spending too much time on social media because they provide temporary pleasure or distraction from stress. To break this cycle, we must strengthen our willpower to endure discomfort or delayed gratification for long-term well-being.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

The Bible verse encourages us to support each other, emphasizing the importance of self-control and discipline when facing challenges. In the context of battling harmful habits, it underscores the need to rely on inner strength and endurance to overcome temptations, aligning with the lesson of strengthening our willpower for long-term well-being.
