Saturday: Your Move, Self
"We improve ourselves by victories over ourselves. There must be contest, and we must win."
- Edward Gibbon
Why am I reminded of diet advice for some reason? Well, even with that, guy's got a point. Having a decent life is all about making smart decisions and not listening to that part of you that just wants what it wants now. You've gotta struggle with the parts of you that are selfish and annoying and basically the sort of people you don't want to meet at a party. And sometimes you don't always win. But when you do win, you become a better person. The kind of person you do want to meet at a party. I like to think I win over myself more often than not. (Your opinions may vary.)
