“The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now.” Zig Ziglar

It is wise to nurture a clear vision of what you want most in life. Once we have this in place, developing self-control can keep us on the path of obtaining it. Self-discipline is grown in us one decision at a time. We must practice saying “no” to lesser desires to reinforce saying “yes” to desires of greater importance. This is the wisdom of fasting from time to time. Deliberately pick something that you want right now, and practice saying “no” to it.
