Willpower: Live a Powerful Life
Description
“Be a superhero” - That’s the goal of this book!
Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you have heard this one. It’s about man who is larger than life. He’s one of those guys who runs around in spandex and is venerated as a superhero. His name is Green Lantern.
The Green Lantern is a comic book superhero, dressed all in green from his neck down to his feet. He wears a green ring and carries a green lantern.
Well you have an opportunity to be that guy. You too can be Green Lantern, perhaps not in the flesh, but in the essence of his powe
Green Lantern was part of an intergalactic core of guardians spread throughout the known Universe who watched over, protected and guided all those around them. And it is said that they wielded the greatest known power throughout the Universe. The Power of Will. Will Power was the essence of the green glow that made everything work for him.
But we don’t live in a comic book world. We live in the real world with real problems and real failures and real disappointments and the real lack of ability to get things done at times. We often fail to follow through. We tend to procrastinate. We tend to take the easy path, even though we seem to desire so strongly the harder path. We quit under pressure (under all kinds of fear). We fear failing, so we quit. We fear looking dumb, so we quit. We fear appearing as if we don’t fit in. We fear the unpopularity of our situation, and we quit. And the running of time also tends to weaken our resolve to continue through to the end of what we had originally set our mind to doing.
But just like our comic book friend, we too can be heroes, in our own lives and in the lives of those closest to us, if we can but harness that same power referred to in the Green Lantern stories. It’s a bit different, but the results are illustratively similar.
This book mainly takes a practical approach to the whole topic of Will Power. The main thrust here is to help you make good decisions and successfully accomplish the things you need and want to accomplish, by the power of your Will.
Will Power has been called determination, drive, resolve, fortitude, grit, resolve, self-discipline, and self-control. Overall, it is control. It is the ability to delay your gratification, thus exercising control over your mind and your body. It is the ability to resist short term lustful desires and impulses for long term desired goals. It is the ability to overcome every hindrance and obstacle that stands in the way of those long term goals, including every internal thought, feeling or impulse, and every external hindrance and hurdle. It is the ability to coolly determine your every step, rather than hotly be led by emotionalism. It is the essence of self-control.
By applying the principles found in this book, you can achieve a high level of Will Power and thus attain your Desired Goals and thereby accomplish your Will!
In this book, we will break down that word and thought and discuss what it is in a very practical way. We will also discuss how it can be most effectively harnessed and used to your advantage.
In summary then, this book will help you accomplish your Will, whatever you set your mind to do. It will help you unleash your Will Power and thus Live a Powerful life!
