TFTD Thought For The Day

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

What Is Willpower?

Willpower is your ability to set a course of action and say, "Engage!"

Willpower provides an intensely powerful yet temporary boost. Think of it as a one-shot thruster. It burns out quickly, but if directed intelligently, it can provide the burst you need to overcome inertia and create momentum.

Willpower is the spearhead of self-discipline. 

Willpower is a concentration of force. You gather up all your energy and make a massive thrust forward. You attack your problems strategically at their weakest points until they crack, allowing you enough room to maneuver deeper into their territory and finish them off.

The application of willpower includes the following steps:

  1. Choose your objective
  2. Create a plan of attack
  3. Execute the plan
