Our brains work like a navigation system and whatever we program our navigation system becomes our own reality. So, if you think positive, you will get positive result and vice-versa. Much of what we see may not even be what is actually the case, but simply the reality we see through the lens of our own beliefs. Remember the story of the man who was mistakenly locked into a refrigerated railroad car? He died after one night, even though the refrigeration was not working. Because he believed it was... his mind caused him to freeze to death.
Some Old Saying
I love the some of the old saying which I can't remember where I read it from.
- Where there's a will, there's a way"
- Impossible is possible if there is a will.
- Even that is not possible by God is made possible when a will is there.
People With Will Power
Very few people have the natural and inborn quality of good will power.
Many others learned from the past experiences and gained the will power.
During his childhood, the boy of a poor family had to swim across an ever flowing river to reach the school and again swim to get back to his home. This lad through sheer hard work and determination later became the Prime Minister of India. The name of the boy is Lal Bahadur Shastry.
In history, we have also witness Abraham Lincoln will power as he rise to become the Commander-in-Chief and that certainly was not a sure bet. Starting with humble beginnings, he became a self-educated lawyer by sheer will power and a strong desire to succeed. Later, he failed in two attempts to win election to the United States Senate, but still succeeded in becoming the 16th President.
There are many instances in the world's history and countless stories to prove the goodness of will power where people take on life difficulties and overcome it. A person should not become demoralized in a situation of adversity but should learn from other people's behaviour towards that person so that one's true latent powers are explored.
Will Power Quotes
You can feel the significance of mind power when you read the following inspirational quotes.
Katinka Hesselink's, "Don't give up trying to find your way. But do remember that sometimes it takes bending to avoid breaking," definitely teaches us not to easily give up. As long as there is a possibility, may it be small or very difficult; one who persists and does not give up can eventually taste success. Always remember that the sweetest success comes from the things that pushed you to your limits.
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. - Buddha
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. - Confucius
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. - Thomas Jefferson
The Human Brain
Studies of human brain tell us that it contains numerous windows. Some are open and others are closed. It requires a compelling situation to open the closed ones of the mind. If one reacts seriously to a shocking experience that will power naturally open the closed sites of the mind. Miracles are brought about through such process: new mind powers are reported to be behind the extraordinary behaviour that was unimaginable prior to that experience. Stop worrying so much as the lesson from the above shows that anyone can perform a miracle if the person has the capacity or will power to convert any opportunity into a good act.
Your Hidden Potential
| A strong will can help reveal one's hidden potential. But there is a difference between will and wish. Do not harbour any unrealistic wish: pursue your true will to follow your dream. That means identify your will power before proceeding to take actions towards your wish or dream. |  |
Conclusion
Some people find it easy to exercise their will power, but many more struggle. The more successful you are the easier it will be. So yes you can do it. Give yourself a treat and encourage your family and friends to help you too. Good luck. Don't be like Oscar Wilde who said "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." Be like Benjamin Franklin, "Will power, energy and persistence conquer all things."
Mind or Will Power is stronger than muscle power: Remember, David defeated Goliath.
