Ahh, this reminds me of Sebastian Purcell, PhD's short treatise on willpower,

one part of willpower concerns the ability to do what is disagreeable,

another part concerns willing not to do something, and

a final part concerns knowing what you truly want in the first place;

for which I repurposed the Serenity Prayer in

Gods, please breathe into me the strength to do with serenity that for which I have distaste; the strength to say no to burning desires; and the wisdom to know that my path will lead to what I truly need and serene happiness will ensue.

I see from your piece I could rename that "Prayer for Emotionally Mature Intelligence."
