Hello Fit-NOW Friends!
Have you ever had a day your willpower is lacking? Running on empty? I found the following statement above that helped put that lack of willpower for the day into perspective!
In addition, I found the article below written by By Remez Sasson that describes inner strength.
Willpower is the inner strength and the inner engine that propels
towards success and achievement. It is the power that pushes into action
in every area of life. Willpower is one of the most important and
desirable inner powers, and its lack or presence determines whether you
will fail or accomplish your desires and ambitions and attain success.
Willpower is erroneously considered as a quality belonging only to
highly successful people, who depend on strength and force to achieve
their goals. The truth is that it can be developed by everyone, and it
is important, useful and desirable in the small affairs of life, as it
is in the achievement of major goals.
If you usually feel too lazy, developing your inner strength will
help you to overcome this laziness. If you usually procrastinate,
possess low self-esteem, feel weak and vulnerable or lack self-control,
strengthening this power will help you too.
Willpower, which is inner strength, manifests as the ability to
control unnecessary and harmful impulses. It also manifests as the
ability to decide, abide by this decision, and follow it with
perseverance until its successful accomplishment. This ability gives you
the courage and strength to endure and overcome inner and outer
resistance and opposition, difficulties and hardships.
There are many who lack the inner strength to say "no". Others find
it difficult to follow and assert their ideas and beliefs. Some are
afraid to take action and make changes or they lack resolution and the
persistence to go on with their plans to the end. A strong power of the
will can change all this.
It is the right and privilege of everyone to develop this ability.
Everyone can develop it to a greater or smaller extent, depending on the
desire, earnestness, ambition and time devoted to developing and
strengthening this inner power.
In many of my other articles, and in the book "Will power and self
discipline", I have emphasized the importance of developing this
ability, and showed how to do that. You do not require super ordinary
powers to develop it. You do not need to sleep on a bed of nails, fast
or stand on one foot for days, as fakirs do. The concept that the
development of willpower requires you to undergo suffering and physical
mutilation is not true.
Developing willpower and inner strength is a gradual process that
everyone can undertake. Some will be able to reach higher levels of
power, while others will reach different degrees of development, but the
way is open to all.
You will have to give up some unnecessary and harmful pleasures and
change some unhealthy habits, but this is for a higher good. You give up
something harmful or useless, in order to gain strength and power that
will help you in every area of your life. In fact, the whole process can
be turned into an absorbing, enjoyable and interesting challenge.
Training and exercising your willpower will fill you with strength,
courage, and assertiveness. As your power grows, it will be easier for
you to get rid of habits and attitudes that stand in your way to a
better life. You will gain inner strength that will help you at your job
and at home, in your relationships, with carrying on your tasks and
with accomplishing your ambitions.
Until Next time!
Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!
Have an awesome day!
