If you have the will to do something, then you will do it. Anything.
If you have the will to do something, then you will do it. Period.
You want to lose weight, but you “can’t”. Then you do not have the will. Your will to eat what you want and to not exercise is stronger than your will to lose weight. Have you ever noticed that women that are engaged to be married or recently divorced seem to have no issues losing a few pounds?
Yes, I know. I am a genetically thin man talking about what it’s like to try to lose weight as a woman. It’s okay, you can hate me. But, I’m trying to tell you something important about will.
You can do anything if you have the will. Most people don’t truly understand. Can you not get up 30 minutes earlier than you do now so you have time work out? Or is your will to sleep stronger than your will to exercise? No place you can workout? No exercise equipment? Do you not have steps you can walk or run up and down? True will disintegrates your excuses. You can imagine your will as being a monster truck and your excuses as the cars that it easily hops across, smashing them down as it goes.
Having the will to do something means that you have NO excuses; that you are obsessively committed; that you will not accept failure; you become a badass m’fer. You live a “get the F out of my way” attitude and nothing can stop you.
If you truly, truly have the will to do something, then you will do it.
But, I am not suggesting that you have to do anything. You are. They are called New Year’s Resolutions. I call them January’s self-delusions. Anybody that routinely goes to a gym knows that their gym will be extra busy for the first three weeks of the year. People make New Year’s resolutions that they do not possess the true will to accomplish. They have the desire; but not the will. Notice the difference.
Don’t waste your time. If you have to think to yourself, “what should my resolutions be for this year?”, then you are about to create a New Year’s delusion. You don’t have to wait for the end of the year to contemplate goals; to contemplate what changes you truly want to make. Do yourself right. Come up with one thing; just one thing that you really, really want. Examine and assess your true will. If you really want it, then commit to it like a psycho.
If you don’t have that one thing you want (or want to change), that’s okay too. Love yourself exactly as you are!
A passage from Everyday Enlightenment by Dan Millman:
Inside you is untapped strength of will, of spirit, of heart. The kind of strength that will not flinch in the face of adversity. You have only to remember your purpose, the vision that brought you to Earth – the vision that will take you to the stars – to the depths of the oceans and up the stairway to the soul. Great strength of will resides within you, waiting for expression.
Have a great day!
