Is discipline a gene or a skill?

It’s a 100% self acquired mastery.It’s a choice I make to remember what I want the most when I’m tempted. If I don’t want to resist there’s no chance I’ll resist. If I play out the fantasy in my mind, what if I go for it, I ask myself how long will this ecstasy last? What is the aftertaste going to be like? Is this something I’ll be proud of choosing tomorrow too? How will I feel about it in a day from now? What is my plan with it, is this succumbing to temptations any random moment the way to have control over my decisions? Do I want to be able to easily say no and to make it my automatic habit to decline momentary bliss? Will I have another opportunity to enjoy whatever it is I crave or want another day? This is the self inquiry I have to delay my impulse to seize the moment. I take out the allure of cheating and the chance of getting away from consequences. There’s no forbidden fruit, I just have to accept I will regret it and then I can’t cry about it. Am I going to be grumpy and filled with remorse about my own choices? That’s just dumb! After a few minutes of asking the right questions I get bored with the whole thing and forget about it. For you who sign up for my coaching to win over your weaknesses you must know that every time we have our talks it’s not about confessing you had cake or chips or cheated. The whole point is to HOLD UP, wait, is it worth it? When you see a coach as a police who’ll punish you for your self destructive behavior you’ll TAKE the punishment with joy THINKING it’ll motivate you to stop behaving this way. You WANT a beating to teach yourself a lesson so you quit sabotaging yourself. That never works! You must want to master your mind to master your body. When you find yourself wanting to do that with no witness or audience to hold you accountable then you’ll notice how EASY it is to CHOOSE what you want to have CHOSEN.
