My Question to the World

I have a question. And a secret. I'm not going to tell you what the secret is, but the fact that I have a secret is so secret that I'm amazed I'm even telling you, the reader, that I have one at all.

The general idea of the secret is that I have a constant inner struggle, to fight off my own personal demon and become a better person for it. I am continually trying to maintain homeostasis with my emotions.

My question is this: does anyone else have an internal struggle? Is anyone else out there, battling every moment of every day against their illogical, unreasonable, impossible desires, and trying their hardest to change not only their actions, but their very essences? The way they think? The way they talk?

The change I want to make in myself would be for the better, and I know it, but it's so hard to overcome that gut instinct of instant gratification that I don't know how to make it happen. 

Fortunately, I don't have to do it all by myself. I believe--my own personal belief, which I don't require that anyone agree with--that there is a God in Heaven, a good, loving, gracious, merciful God who will help me make the change in my life that will lead me to be a better person. 

I wonder, if others do have an internal struggle, how do they manage it? 

But that's two questions. Sorry.
