Short motivational monologue about practicing moderation and intentional indulgence. The speaker uses everyday examples (cookies, pizza, wine nights) to argue for choosing when to indulge, links self-discipline to serving the world effectively, and asks listeners to self-rate their self-control over the past year on a 1–10 scale.
Listen, I love cookies. I'll have a cookie. Listen, I love pizza and wine night. But you know what? I'm choosing when to do those. I don't do them every night. I could do pizza every night. Every meal for the rest of my life would not be very good for the energy in which I've chosen to serve the world with. So we all need a sense of self control. I would love for you to just think universally of the last year of your life. On a score of 1 to 10, where would you rate yourself in terms of your self control?
