Ways to maintain discipline / Ways to prioritize things.
Humans are inclined towards pleasure. It takes self-discipline to avoid pleasures for the sake of a better future. When I struggle with my fleshly desires, where I want to do what I want while my mind tells me not to do it because it is detrimental or unproductive, I should always try to think about which one is worthwhile. If I have two options and I should choose one, instead of blindly following what I desire, I should ask which one is more beneficial for my future, my career, or my faith. No matter what the answer is, even if I don't feel like doing it, I will always try to do it. So, I should use my mental balance scale and always try to figure out the heavier one.
In summary, if I am inclined towards a short-term pleasure, instead of blindly following what I long for, I should use my mental balance scale to find out the weightier one for my career, faith, and health and proceed to do the weightier one regardless of how I feel.
