I keep thinking about this. I mean I am a human who unlike an animal has the unique ability of self-awareness right? So I should be able to ignore any kind of bodily signs and fight through it with willpower.

Yet I can't... Even if I tell myself logically "I can't let fatigue, pain and pleasure control my behavior. I should be better than this." But yet I remain a slave. It makes me feel weak and like I don't really want to achieve the things I want if I am relying on my body to make me feel pleasure or not feel discomfort.

But then again I read and listen to successful people talk and it's clear that they genuinly enjoy doing what they do and for the most part don't have to force themselves. Then I also read how willpower has a genetic component or is something you learn when you grow up.

I think I let all these scientific findings enter my free will decision making field and now I keep using them as excuse for not doing anything. Every time I feel some kind of resistance instead of pushing through it I now thing it's my biological limit that I can't push through because the ability to do that is genetic as well...
