08. Impulse Control


Listen Later

In this episode of The Heroes Show I delve into the concept of 'Impulse Control' and its impact on personal growth and mindset.


I share a personal story of how I persevered to achieve my goals despite facing numerous challenges and temptations along the way.


Impulse control refers to the ability to resist immediate gratification and make conscious choices aligned with long-term goals and values. It involves staying focused on one's vision and not being driven solely by momentary desires. I draw a parallel between impulse control and a sweat lodge experience where resisting the urge to leave the tent mirrored the inner struggle of resisting impulses in life.


Successful individuals possess impulse control, enabling them to make deliberate choices that align with their values and long-term objectives. It allows them to exercise self-respect and self-esteem, ultimately leading to a sense of true freedom.


Living in alignment with our values is essential for achieving clarity and purpose in life. By uncovering and prioritizing our values, we can make decisions that resonate with our core beliefs, thus experiencing a sense of fulfilment.


As I conclude the episode, I leave the audience with three reflective questions:

What are the triggers that make you lose control?

Are you making choices today that lead you closer to the life you envision for yourself?

Are you willing to embrace discomfort and delayed gratification for the sake of long-term success and fulfilment?


These questions serve as a guide for embracing impulse control and making conscious decisions that contribute to personal growth and fulfilment.


Remember, it's never too late to make a change.

The best is yet to come!
