Self-control is the ability to subdue our impulses in order to achieve longer-term goals. Rather than responding to immediate impulses, we can plan, evaluate alternative actions, and, often enough, avoid doing things we'll later regret. The ability to exert self-control is typically called willpower. It is what allows us to direct our attention, and it underlies all kinds of achievement.
According to recent studies published in the last six months, a more subtle picture is emerging of the advantages and disadvantages of having, or lacking, self-control. These provide new answers to what self-control can do for you and what it can’t.

1. Self-control makes you happier
One stereotype of people with high self-control is that they are enormously happy. After all, how much fun can you have if you’re so in control all the time?
According to a new study, the research showed that people with high self-control are happier because it helps them deal better with goal conflict.
Instead of agonising over whether to indulge in fattening foods, extra-marital affairs or cheap reality TV, people with high self-control find it easier to make the right choice. This is part of the reason they are happier. That and the fact they got better grades at school, earn more money, have better physical and mental health and so on.

Self-control does not sound like fun, does it?

Happiness - in this context - is closely linked to or the result of motivation, inspiration and, at best, of the SUPREME feeling called enthusiasm.

How I love this word.
