The power of "Will"

What distinguishes a champion from the rest? What makes them come again and again, against all odds. What gives them that invisible power to conquer? It can't be mere hard work or some special talent in them..... there are so many people with such talents , but what makes these people special? What gives them this amazing zeal to perform?

It's just not there competition, its something else. Its there Will Power. The power which is unlike anything in the world. This power makes pain seem like a small stone on their journey to success. The power which has the ability to control the ultimate desire. Its the only thing which is capable of opening the immense power inside every soul that roams this planet.

Will power is a magic which transform a normal human being into something better. A man into a soldier who can fight at heights of Kargil, a racer into a master piece to compete against the best machines in the world, the emperor the challenge to win the world, the queen the courage to fight against the freedom of her kingdom, a cyclist to defy cancer, a man the ability to win freedom for his country through peace. These men/women had immense will power to shake the world.

The Indian soldiers who fought the Pakistani Army at the worlds toughest terrain, Micheal Schumacher to challenge the engineering marvel Of McLaren Mercedes car, Alexander the strength to win the world, Rani Laxami bai to fight the Britishers while she hung her young baby (tied to ) her while she charged her horse against the guns of British soldiers, armed only with a sword; Lance Armstrong to defy everything and become 'Tour de France' championship seven times and Mahatma Gandhi to win India the freedom from British rule. These are just few examples of what the power of will can do. To die for one's country needs more than just hard work and guns. These humans transformed from normal humans to super men/women with the power of will. But the question is that can you control your will? Do you have the control of your self. This is something you need to answer your self. Will has no limit, it can push you as much as you want it to. Its the battle of wills that at the end counts.

The first step towards anything is understanding its capabilities, which I hope you have been able to get from the above text. The next is to start by implementing it on any one task that you do every day or something that you want to do .By this I don't mean watching to TV or surfing the net for chat etc because these won't be very important /realistic targets. So start with something you want to improve upon, lets say studying. So next time when you are studying and after some good studying have decide to wrap it up, Don't. Sit there and continue. Continue to the point that you can't just resist the temptation of doing something else to take the break. And then sit for 5 minutes more. Fruitful or not the start has to be that way. I do agree that you might come to a point that there is no actual advantage of pushing to much but then the idea for now is not simply to have efficient out put, but preparing yourself for that. What you would be doing is that you would be expanding your mental ability. And when it expands, you would later be able to be efficient even after sitting continuously. Relate this example to anything else, Gym, jogging, singing, etc.

But as with everything, if there is an advantage of it, there sure is a disadvantage of it. The main disadvantage can be that if you are pushing too much, then you are likely to lose interest in it. So you might want to avoid it. If you think that you are reaching this point, then take a break from it. Do something else but do get back on it. And try again this time pushing the same or less, defiantly not more. Its a gradual process and will take time.

One good thing about will power is that, if you improve on it, then you would have overall gain and not just for a given situation. What this habit will actually do is that consciously or subconsciously give you more control of yourself.You would be able to do what you want to do. That is of course possible when you have goals/dreams and you are not confused.

Control your will, and you would control your life.
