has never been my strong point, but i’ve been working at it as a part of this goal. half of the difficulties i draw into my life come from my compulsive desire and my inability to say no to it. i get a taste for a certain food for lunch and waste time, gas and money to get it rather than quell the desire and stick to my game plan… tens of little detours like this a week really add up and put strain on my time and pocket. once i learn to control my cravings i think my life will become much simpler—because nothing says simplicity like wanting what you already have.
