If in the above statement you replace the word 'rewarding' with 'loving' then you have the perfect recipe for the state of living in which self-control is totally unnecessary because desire naturally subsides. There is no need to reward someone who already loves themselves. What use is some trinket, food, drink or drug compared to love? Someone who loves themselves does not need to complete projects. What use are projects when one loves oneself and one loves life as it is, NOW? Love does not need a reason. Everyone deserves love, unconditionally. But sadly we have almost completely replaced unconditional love with conditional reward systems and destroyed consistent unshakable happiness in the process.
