Sometimes, situation may be uncomfortable but must endure.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Obligation is a more effective weapon against the Will than any penalty, threat or act of force.
Ashim Shanker
Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.
C.S. Lewis
It’s your willingness and commitment which can set everything right for you more than anything else.
Vishal Ostwal
There is always an inertia to be overcome in striking out a new line of conduct – not more in ourselves, it seems, than in circumscribing events, which appear as if leagued together to allow no novelties in the way of amelioration.
Thomas Hardy
To resist a compulsion with willpower alone is to hold back an avalanche by melting the snow with a candle. It just keeps coming and coming and coming.
David Adam
The free-will of man cannot impune the sovereignty of God, and conversely the sovereignty of God would not impune the free-will of men".
R. Alan Woods
Arise and pursue your dreams.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Hard roads require will of steel!
Mehmet Murat ildan
Will without Power is incomplete and power without will is dangerous when will and will power both are present, implementation is easy!!!!
Harrish Sairaman
Where there's a will, there's a potential for murder
Brahms Lewis
Be ruthless in one important area: Yourself. Be ruthless about your commitment to Christ. Be ruthless about your intellectual growth. Be ruthless about finishing well. One of the biggest areas we should be ruthless about is our time. How much time do you spend complaining about your problems to people who can't help you solve them? How much time do you talk when you should be doing? When it comes to others, be gracious. But when it comes to you and your time, be ruthless.
Phil Cooke
Maybe I'd die. Maybe I'd burn to ash in wind, or blacken like the pines. Charred skeletons, I'd add one to the count. I didn't feel scared. I didn't think to panic. The trail wasn't burning. I was raw, ripe for loving. I wasn't stopping.
Aspen Matis
It takes more to abstain than to err, more to avoid mistakes than to make mistakes; but the good thing is that it gets better with practice.
Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
You are strong enough to overcome the situation!
Lailah Gifty Akita
Even our behavior and emotions seem to have been shaped by a prankster. Why do we crave the very foods that are bad for us but have less desire for pure grains and vegetables? Why do we keep eating when we know we are too fat? And why is our willpower so weak in its attempts to restrain our desires? Why are male and female sexual responses so uncoordinated, instead of being shaped for maximum mutual satisfaction? Why are so many of us constantly anxious, spending our lives, as Mark Twain said, "suffering from tragedies that never occur"? Finally, why do we find happiness so elusive, with the achievement of each long-pursued goal yielding not contentment, but only a new desire for something still less attainable? The design of our bodies is simultaneously extraordinarily precise and unbelievably slipshod. It is as if the best engineers in the universe took every seventh day off and turned the work over to bumbling amateurs.
Randolph M. Nesse
When the heart says “yes” it is difficult for the mind to say “no.
Matshona Dhliwayo
I’d been kissed before. Many times. There were awkward and sloppy kisses, those tension-fraught moments of fumbling intensity as a teenager. There were more skilled kisses, passionate and intentional. There were kisses that stole my breath, kisses that merged seamlessly with the shedding of clothes and the joining of bodies. But never, before this moment, had there ever been a kiss that stole my will to pull away, that devoured my capacity for thought, that removed my ability to resist, to feel anything but the kiss.
Jasinda Wilder
Willpower survives.
Toba Beta
It's nice when you can ride the inspirational wave, but as a writer, you'll also find how fast you can lose that wave. You must persevere.
Charles Lee
You try moving things with nothing but willpower. It's about as easy as trying to lasso a bull with a licorice
Richelle E. Goodrich
There are tomorrows on their way worth the struggles of today. Never give up.
Richelle E. Goodrich
Hope. It is the most important thing in the world. I believe that now more than ever. Hope is what saved my life, hope is what gave me the courage and the strength to carry on. Hope – that unshakable, golden belief that things can get better.
Alexander Gordon Smith
The will is your most important asset. If you lose it, you have lost everything.
Dele Ayo Bankole
Do whatever you have determined to do.
Lailah Gifty Akita
I won't die. I won't give those ghouls the pleasure. I'll live and grow strong. I'll escape, then hunt them down and make them suffer.
Darren Shan
If you plan to build walls around me, know this—I will walk through them.
Richelle E. Goodrich
He (Kris Medlin) has a communication with a force in pitching that most of us can’t talk to. It’s an awareness; it’s a sixth sense. When he steps in and stares in to that catcher, that little man on his shoulder’s going to take over and tell him what to do. And he’s done it well.
Don Sutton
The is a secret for greater self-control, the science points to one thing: the power of paying attention.
Kelly McGonigal
We are leashed by societal norms, defined by our willingness to conform, but limited only by our imagination.
Michael Holbrook
Kill if you will, but command me nothing!’ the gunslinger roared. ‘You have forgotten the faces of those who made you!
Stephen King
The biggest enemies of willpower: temptation, self-criticism, and stress. (...) these three skills —self-awareness, self-care, and remembering what matter most— are the foundation for self-control.
Kelly McGonigal
No success was won without self- determination and self-discipline.
Lailah Gifty Akita
I am the kind of person who, if my feelings are unrequited, can completely detach from someone emotionally if I simply put my mind to it.
Mindy Kaling
Neuroscientists have discovered that when you ask the brain to meditate, it gets better not just at meditating, but at a wide range of self-control skills, including attention, focus, stress management, impulse control, and self-awareness.
Kelly McGonigal
He hated this feeling of free-floating, just drifting from place to place, thought to thought, without any sense of anchor or root.
Nora Roberts
Most of life's actions are within our reach, but decisions take willpower.
Robert McKee
I start trying to stay unconscious. The problem with this is that no amount of willpower can change the reality.
Lauren DeStefano
There can be no doubt that the chief fault we have developed, through the long course of human evolution, is a certain basic passivity. When provoked by challenges, human beings are magnificent. When life is quiet and even, we take the path of least resistance, and then wonder why we feel bored. A man who is determined and active doesn't pay much attention to 'luck'. If things go badly, he takes a deep breath and redoubles his effort. And he quickly discovers that his moments of deepest happiness often come after such efforts. The man who has become accustomed to a passive existence becomes preoccupied with 'luck'; it may become an obsession. When things go well, he is delighted and good humored; when they go badly, he becomes gloomy and petulant. He is unhappy—or dissatisfied—most of the time, for even when he has no cause for complaint, he feels that gratitude would be premature; things might go wrong at any moment; you can't really trust the world... Gambling is one basic response to this passivity, revealing the obsession with luck, the desire to make things happen.The absurdity about this attitude is that we fail to recognize the active part we play in making life a pleasure. When my will is active, my whole mental and physical being works better, just as my digestion works better if I take exercise between meals. I gain an increasing feeling of control over my life, instead of the feeling of helplessness (what Sartre calls 'contingency') that comes from long periods of passivity. Yet even people who are intelligent enough to recognize this find the habit of passivity so deeply ingrained that they find themselves holding their breath when things go well, hoping fate will continue to be kind.
Colin Wilson
My hope fuels my determination to overcome any difficulty.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Failure only happens when you lose your willpower to continue trying...If we let the obstacles get the best of us then it was our choice to fail, not fate.
Lindsey Rietzsch
Exercising will builds esteem from within through action on one's own behalf; it disproves the premise that only another person can provide it. The result, long in coming and always worth the effort, is the experience of authentic agency in your own life, a sense of self that cannot be destroyed because it is not dependent on anyone else.
Jeanne Safer
What you see to be difficult now, is likely to be the easiest thing ever later when you deliberately get your willpower trained over it by repeated attempts! Don't give up!
Israelmore Ayivor
Be brave to share your story! Each of our stories, have a golden treasure for a specific need.

Lailah Gifty Akita
Sometimes adversity becomes the fuel in which we run on.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Fear deprive us of what we can possess.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Faith is not mere belief but is that state you attain when you send your will, words, thoughts, beliefs, and actions into orbit around a chosen goal
Agona Apell
Be encouraged! You can fulfil your dream.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Life is like the wind on the ocean; if it is against you, it doesn’t really matter what direction it comes from or what direction it blows. It also doesn’t matter what you do or fail to do. So you are better off doing whatever you want.
Dauglas Dauglas
I want to live. I want to live life with all it's emotions, all it's experiences, I don't want to miss anyhting. But I feel like I will.
M. Leighton
Life has moments that feel as if the sun has blackened to tar and the entire world turned to ice. It feels as if Hades and his vile demons have risen from the depths of Tartarus solely for the purpose of banding to personally torture you, and that their genuine intent of mental, emotional, and spiritual anguish is tearing you to shreds. Your heart weighs as heavily as leaden legs which you would drag yourself forward with if not for the quicksand that pulls you down inch by inch, paralyzing your will and threatening oblivion. And all the while fire and brimstone pour from the sky, pelting only you. Truly, that is what it feels like. But that feeling is a trial that won't last forever. Never give up.
Richelle E. Goodrich
True endurance, I think, comes from the inside. It comes from motivation and belief in what you're doing.
Neil Strauss
I had been able to break the curse myself. I'd had to have reason enough, love enough to do it, to find the will and the strength.
Gail Carson Levine
He who knows his strength has overcome many difficulties.

Friedrich Nietzsche
