## Resource

Your biggest regrets probably didn't happen because you didn't know better. They happened because, for a moment, your emotions made the decision before you did. That's why self-control matters. Not because it makes you perfect, but because it gives you a chance to choose the kind of person you want to be, even when your feelings are pulling you somewhere else.
