Change
You can't bring about change in your life without being able to face pain. The essence of self-conquest is learning to leave your comfort zone behind and facing pain. To finally reach a higher bliss.

The holy life by definition is about making a choice. The very difference between a monastic and a lay person is that a monastic makes a choice, and that a lay person doesn't. Lay life is marked by not making choices, and thus immorality.
