The Paradox of Abundance & Self-Regulation

Life has become harder due to abundance and convenience, making it challenging to regulate our desires and emotions. The availability of food and services at our fingertips, along with the ease of making new connections online, creates a situation where we no longer need to face traditional challenges. As life gets easier, the burden shifts to us to self-regulate in a world where gratification is instant. This shift highlights the importance of emotional quotient (EQ) over intelligence quotient (IQ) for long-term success. Self-regulation and conscientiousness are key factors that correlate with success in today's world.
