Willpower is a necessary personal quality, which we develop throughout our life. Many people believe that it is very difficult to develop willpower and it is supposedly easier to go with the flow, obeying strict discipline. But, as Confucius said, "The person who is looking for opportunities, the unwilling - the reason." So, it's easy to develop willpower. First of all, you need to have a clear understanding of what, in essence, is willpower. Realizing this, you will not need to suppress your dreams, desire through stereotyped restrictions. After all, why does a man need willpower? - Yes, first of all, in order that he had that life, about which he dreams.
Sometimes will power is described by a whip, which drives a lazy person, but such an attitude, first of all, is negative towards oneself and towards one's life.
Willpower is the basis of self-discipline. It is the ability through your inner resistance to achieve the planned. In order to apply it, you, as if collect all the inner energy that fills you and makes a motivating step forward to achieve your goal. In simple terms, it is the ability of the individual to control his life, to plan his actions (rather than fashion-imposed societies), and then to translate this plan into reality.
Do not think about why a person needs willpower. You need to act according to the formula I want-plan, I do. Each element in this chain requires some effort. And in order for the final and, in principle, the main element to work, willpower is needed.
The power of will and spirit is a real strength. These concepts do not exist separately from each other. Thanks to the strength of the spirit, the inner core, a person achieves life's goals, overcoming difficulties on the way to and achievement, which means that willpower is directly related to the human spirit. Spirit strength has many synonyms such as: inflexibility, self-confidence, firmness, steadfastness.
Otherwise, the weak power of will and spirit betrays itself by timidity, insecurity in its powers, rancor, suspicion, dependence on the opinion of the majority, even if this majority is unfamiliar people. A person with weak strength of spirit is incapable of believing that he is able to turn his life into the right direction, which he likes. His choice is a warm swamp, which is his work, home, phone bills, credit for the house. His warm swamp is a rat race in a vicious circle. Such a person at heart understands that he is afraid of change, he is afraid of showing courage in his actions, because every decision of the Soviets gives a lot of doubts such as "if-suddenly".
