Philosophy 

The only reason to "be good" is that good behavior is good. Resisting temptation is largely a matter of agreeing with the moral teachings you want to accept about the relative value of different good things, e.g. the goodness of being a sober, responsible adult versus the goodness of feeling like a party animal, or the goodness of being a Good  Cat whose humans love to have you indoors in cold weather versus the goodness of shredding that coat in the closet.
