Will power and the power of the will.
So you might ask… what’s the bloody difference? (I’m sure you’ll use a flowery word!)
I asked the same thing to myself when I read that Winston Churchill used to speak about the “power of the will.”
Let’s break it down shall we.
Many a times we underestimate the words we speak, the manner in which we speak it and the thought process that goes in saying it.
Haven’t you heard your dad say “You need will power to stop eating chocolates son” and haven’t you said something on the lines of “My will power is less” or “I need to increase my will power.”
Why?
Because you had to stop doing something that was wrong (according to who? This I shall write in another blog :P).
Yes we want to so badly break our “bad habits” and the majorities “fail”. Now this is not about why you fail (I see that I now have 2 more things to preach about!!!)
but it goes in the usage of the word “will power”.
As you must have noticed it is to stop ourselves from something that we say “Will power” and not to achieve something.
Whenever anyone uses that word you immediately realize that he wants to STOP, to quit, refraining.
Whatever the word you use you know that he “does not want to do” something. Now what does “the power of the will” mean?
It talks about how strong you are To ACHIEVE. The power of the will is your strength to conquer your dream and what you are willing to do to achieve it.
It immediately gives you that vision of the fighter going through hell and heaven to get what he wants!
YES because it is the POWER of your will that will determine your rise, your reach, your growth, your destiny… what you wish to achieve.
Isn’t it strange that a words perception changes through such a high degree only because we use a couple words here and there?
perception is like a colorful sheet....the color u choose the world will look in same shades
ReplyDeleteSometimes different perception gives rise to argument..
