In this lecture from Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein:
Consciously reflecting on if our thoughts are for harm or for good
How desire is more difficult to uproot than ill will and aversion 
The dangerous disguise of sense-desires as pleasurable and seductive
How to practice the “wisdom of no” 
Renunciation as mental freedom, not repression
How right thought conditions right action
The Buddha’s own practice as a model for ourselves
Accepting that desire is addictive because it momentarily feels good
Renunciation as freedom from addiction, not deprivation
How the joy of letting go must be experienced, not just believed    
The power of both small and large acts of renunciation 
The mental habit of our addiction to wanting
How mindfulness reveals freedom in transition moments
The progressive act of letting go
