There are 2 parts of the human brain that can drive behavior: the thinker and emoter. Both can be controlled although the emoter is more reactionary. The thinking part of the brain can examine and question the emoter and can see things in the past, present and future (Eternal Now). However, if the thinking part of the brain is in conflict with emotion, change is not enduring. Will power eventually tires out. Making and enduring behavior changes requires that both thinking and emotion (heard and heart) be aligned. When we are unsatisfied, we are prone to being impulsive. When we are happy now, we are more able to delay gratification anticipating a new and better experience later.
