The dictionary defines willpower as “control exerted to do something or restrain impulses.” Some might say that most of our bad habits are due to laziness or lack of willpower. Do you lack willpower? Are you searching for your willpower? Or are you trying to connect to this willpower you haven’t yet created?
I believe we create our own willpower. The more you practice and use it, the better you get at using and creating more of it. It’s like when you train a muscle or a virtue. It gets stronger with each use. Intentionally focusing on my WHY is how I stay using and creating more of my own willpower. That’s where my inspiration, empowerment, and motivation come from. Why is this activity important? Why should I follow through with this plan? Why is it a great choice for me to resist this thing? Why did I start this project, event, activity?
In those moments of hesitation, temptation, or struggle tap into your willpower by connecting to your WHY! You have more willpower than you think!
