The
will power is a personal asset and if you are able to exercise this power in
the right direction and at the right time, you will get a significant result.
You can even achieve the movement of a mountain provided you have an ardent determination. We
all take many resolutions, namely to get rid of a bad habit, to start a new
activity or to concentrate fully to grasp a new subject of studies and many
more in the beginning of a year. No sooner,
the first month is over, we become lethargic in our approach and shirk away
from our resolutions. By the end of the third month, we are back to the square
means we forget to continue our resolutions. What makes us to slip in our endeavour?
Our lack of determination is to pursue a new chart in our lives. This
determination or will power, which energies your traits, suddenly evaporates. Many
people, who have a tremendous sweet tooth, say that they won’t touch sweet
dishes or deserts immediately after their diagnosis of diabetes. If you closely
observe their pattern of intake of food, you will find that under the doctor’s
advice, family interference, or friend’s vigilance, they will not touch sweets,
but given a chance and maybe after a passage of a considerable time, they forego
the fear of their system defect related to health and eat the food, which they
should not. They fail to show their will power for a long time. Do we construe
that we cannot detach ourselves from a habit which we must discard? You can; exercising your strong will power. If you have a strong will power, nothing can
stand in front of it, neither habit nor addiction or anything else. People
often say sometimes with pride and other
times with despair, “I cannot control my anger,” “In a tough situation, I feel
very nervous,” or “In a meeting, often I talk loudly, particularly when someone
contradicts my views,” and “I cannot
control my anger whenever I am inflicted
with a sarcastic comment.” The person is taking a wrong shelter. In reality, he
never tries sincerely, honestly and seriously to come out from these odd
situations or behavior. The main reason of his failures is the
sincere efforts combining the strong will power. If he desires to develop a
strong will power and exercise the same; he would be able to give up any bad habit.
Will
power is of two types, namely emotion based and logic based. When you are emotionally
aroused by the talk or advice of your family members or close associates, you
may decide to leave a bad habit instantly. But it is advisable to leave a habit
based on logical reasoning. Through this
power of reasoning, you must question yourself what is the gain and what is the
loss to you, provided you get rid of such bad habit. It is preferable to
abandon some old and harmful habits, for example, smoking cigarettes or chewing
tobacco, based on the reasoning power and application of the same to find out
the pros and cons of those habits. Finally, you decide what is to be done and
once you are able to detach yourself from these bad habits, it interprets that
you are exercising your will power very correctly. And, this decision is based
on your well thought of judgement.
In
our professional circles, we have often observed that some people have a
nagging habit to be always in a complaining mode. For any issues, be it serious
or trivial, they don’t bother to solve the same, but find pleasure to complain about
the other’s shortcomings. The habit of
complaining is an issue of reason and not of emotion. If the person is quietly
thinking of his nature, of always complaining, he will realize that to go on
complaining means; he is polluting the environment. People, who seldom complain
are mostly think good for others. One
can always think rationally when he is not finding fault for others actions.
The
strong will power is developed when you depend and exercise your power of
rational thinking. By showing a strong
will power, you can free yourself from this habit of always complaining. A
person who always gets angry and outbursts on others, is not harming the
persons to whom he shows angers. He
himself is getting harmed because no sooner he loses his temperament, his blood
pressure level increases and causing deterioration in his health. He only becomes victimized because he
constantly lives in a state of tension and anxieties. If the person uses his logic based
inclination, he will definitely come out of this phase of showing anger to
others.
It
is quite common that people show strong will power when the issues are related
to their self interest. But when the issues are linked to other’s interest, the
strong will power simply disappears.
Such type of person lives with a dual character. If a particular person analyzes his weakness
and reason behind his dual standard, he may improve upon his characteristics
and develop a strong will power to come out from the clutch of most of the bad
habits. In conjugal life also, there may
be a chance of bitterness in the relationship between the spouses which is to
be eliminated by the common understanding from both the sides. This
understanding is possible by the help of a strong will power; otherwise, the
relationship will be broken and then there will be only repentance. Will power is a mental reflex which needs to
be strengthened gradually. The more you
practice, the more you will be able to exercise your this power effectively and efficiently. A time will come
when you will feel mentally so charged to exercise this power to move a
mountain like impediments at ease.
