Thirteenth Hypothesis Willpower
That phrase has to be as old as language.
Everyone thinks it is the "will" the maker of human achievement, as "a genius without a will is a genius inoperable."
The "will" that were Andreas Vesalius and Louis Pasteur, for example, was what allowed them to assume, against all the onslaughts of their scientific opponents, to break finally with the previous dogmas. The willingness skeptical researcher and adventurer Charles Darwin, is that apparently allowed him to overcome his opponents for the fantastic legarnos evolutionary concept.
But that is also fallacious.
They, and all others that have made us proud to be part of the human race, they got nothing by his will. All that thanks to his genius was achieved at the expense of need: a powerful inner need that allowed them, fighting tooth and nail against its peers, achieve things we inherited.
the "willpower" is nothing more, I see that another of the myths of man.
is an invention that allows us to justify without much effort, our inability to get many of the things we propose, whatever the cause of the failure of success. It is an expression
reassuring exculpante "I could not, or no achievement, what I set because I have no willpower," says one, and feels excused, understood, forgiven. Is there any person who has not ever felt that the lack of it prevented him from a personal triumph?
Since many years warned of the futility of that figure, I have wondered why there was need to create it. Would not it be more honest and realistic to say that sometimes what we want just because we have no real need to get it? (-I did not get what I would have liked to obtain because, basically, did not need it-).
If the lack of need for comfortable and sincerely replaces the "lack of willpower" I do not understand what was the purpose of creating that formula.
It's just a stupid and unproductive way of comfort.
I think much more honest to argue a "I can not" or "I have no desire," "I do not dare," I'm afraid, "or simply" does not seem necessary. " Humans live
excuses. If you do not come to this meeting acceptable invent a story to justify our absence. Useless imaginative energy expenditure: why invent situations often implausible when it is easier to say "I forgot" "I overslept" or simply "did not feel like" (who never forgot and fell asleep or did not wanted to do something?). Why each of us believe we are the only sinners who stay at such confessions as lunatics if we all do the same.
All these distinctions do not aim at rather than trying to convince him to remove from his mind (because you also, surely, has believed) that is the lack of will that prevents you from losing weight.
When you use that excuse feels like the blind who can not read because he sees, or as a deaf man who can not clap because you do not hear the symphony automatically excused.
What is the need to apologize?
If bravely accept it does nothing for weight loss because it feels no inner need to do it, do not you think you could walk down the street with his head higher? - Yes sir ... I'm fat ...¡¿ what?! -
That's what I want from my patients that if they can not achieve what you apparently crave, look no flimsy excuses. They face the world with the best of all, with sincere, with which it has no chance of reply: "I can not bear to live without conflict eclipsing my fat." Who could reproach
nothing if, as claimed by that patient twenties, 'not to be in the world anyone who does not have any conflict eclipsing?. Let's spend
waste energy finding excuses to apologize to all or, worse, to apologize to yourself.
If you can not do anything to try to improve their condition from getting worse, but take the situation as it is, obviously feels no real need to do so. Have faith ... Maybe later ...
is the argument of "lack of willpower "which gives rise to many colleagues with, say, without wishing to offend, unscrupulous, to support its position use" medications to help them achieve their thinness replacing his absent and famous force ... " , or "great and bloodless surgery" to make your willpower does not exist is not an obstacle to get what they crave.
That is the danger posed by the doctrine of will power, he who believes lack of it, is likely to fall into the tempting trap of submitting to any of the methods anorectics "to replace her."
If we could change everyone's mind the false notion of "lack of willpower" with the most rational, sincere and logical "lack of need," makes it difficult for someone more intelligent and cunning that is, you happen to invent a device that seeks to replacement.
The need is a passion irreplaceable, the only thing that can make it disappear is to satisfy. It is impossible to replace his absence with a drug, thank God ... or any sophisticated surgical technique.
If you can not do anything to lose weight, stop torturing. If you can not do anything to improve its image to stop apologizing to "I have no willpower" . Remember
efforts to improve you must be solely and exclusively with you. If you have no "real need", all I try to be in vain.
The need has been, is and will be the promoter of all human achievement.
In creating the feeling of needing to lose weight in the patient consulting, will be the grueling task of the physician consulted. But I stress, never be used terror to achieve it.
iatrogenic That would be more than the very amphetamines.
