If the temptation is great, and worth of being great, I follow Caesar and say, " I came, I saw, I conquered!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

It would depend on what the temptation is, I mean, if it's going to tempt me at all in the first place!.

I think a temptation for me would be to spend lots of money on things that I really don't need so I have to put the brakes on and think to wait a while and see if it's all that necessary to acquire it!.

With sudden temptation take a deep breath and ask if it's truly important to your life, then have a good night's sleep on it and the morning will either be free of it or inspire you to pursue your wish!. Sometimes it's necessary by having our experiences that we learn what our true needs are as compared to our wants which are many!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just say "No"!.

You have to apply resistance to temptation!. It is normal to be tempted!. I mean even Jesus Christ was tempted!. But he resisted temptation!. So that's a good pattern for me personally to follow his example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
