The Will To Do is the greatest power in the world that isconcerned with human accomplishment and no one can in advancedetermine its limits.
The things that we do now would have been a few ages agoimpossibilities. Today the safe maxim is: “All things arepossible.”
The Will To Do is a force that is strictly practical, yet it isdifficult to explain just what it is. It can be compared toelectricity because we know it only through its cause andeffects. It is a power we can direct and to just the extent wedirect it do we determine our future. Every time you accomplishany definite act, consciously or unconsciously, you use theprinciple of the Will. You can Will to do anything whether it isright or wrong, and therefore the way you use your will makes abig difference in your life.
Every person possesses some “Will To Do.” It is the inner energywhich controls all conscious acts. What you will to do directsyour life forces. All habits, good or bad, are the result of whatyou will to do. You improve or lower your condition in life bywhat you will to do. Your will has a connection with all avenuesof knowledge, all activities, all accomplishment.
You probably know of cases where people have shown wonderfulstrength under some excitement, similar to the following: Thehouse of a farmer’s wife caught on fire. No one was around tohelp her move anything. She was a frail woman, and ordinarily wasconsidered weak. On this occasion she removed things from thehouse that it later took three men to handle. It was the “Will ToDo” that she used to accomplish her task.
Genius Is But A Will To Do Little Things With Infinite Pains.Little Things Well Done Open The Door Of Opportunity For BiggerThings.
The Will accomplishes its greater results through activities thatgrow out of great Psychic – Concentration in acquiring the power ofvoluntary attention to such an extent that we can direct it wherewe will and hold it steadily to its task until our aim isaccomplished. When you learn so to use it, your Will Powerbecomes a mighty force. Almost everything can be accomplishedthrough its proper use. It is greater than physical force becauseit can be used to control not only physical but mental and moralforces.
There are very few that possess perfectly developed and balancedWill Power, but those who do easily crush out their weakqualities. Study yourself carefully. Find out your greatestweakness and then use your will power to overcome it. In this wayeradicate your faults, one by one, until you have built up astrong character and personality.
Rules for Improvement. A desire arises. Now think whether thiswould be good for you. If it is not, use your Will Power to killout the desire, but, on the other hand, if it is a righteousdesire, summon all your Will Power to your aid, crush allobstacles that confront you and secure possession of the covetedGood.
Slowness in Making Decisions. This is a weakness of Will Power.You know you should do something, but you delay doing it throughlack of decision. It is easier not to do a certain thing than todo it, but conscience says to do it. The vast majority of personsare failures because of the lack of deciding to do a thing whenit should be done. Those that are successful have been quick tograsp opportunities by making a quick decision. This power ofwill can be used to bring culture, wealth and health.
Some Special Pointers. For the next week try to make quickerdecisions in your little daily affairs. Set the hour you wish toget up and arise exactly at the fixed time. Anything that youshould accomplish, do on or ahead of time. You want, of course,to give due deliberation to weighty matters, but by making quickdecisions on little things you will acquire the ability to makequick decisions in bigger things. Never procrastinate. Decidequickly one way or the other even at the risk of deciding wrong.
Practice this for a week or two and notice your improvement.
The Lack of Initiative. This, too, keeps many men fromsucceeding. They have fallen into the way of imitating others inall that they do. Very often we hear the expression, “He seemsclever enough, but he lacks initiative.” Life for them is onecontinuous grind. Day after day they go through the samemonotonous round of duties, while those that are “getting along”are using their initiative to get greater fullness of life. Thereis nothing so responsible for poverty as this lack of initiative,this power to think and do for ourselves.
You Are as Good as Anyone. You have will power, and if you useit, you will get your share of the luxuries of life. So use it toclaim your own. Don’t depend on anyone else to help you. We haveto fight our own battles.
All the world loves a fighter, whilethe coward is despised by all.
Every person’s problems are different, so I can only say “analyzeyour opportunities and conditions and study your naturalabilities.” Form plans for improvement and then put them intooperation. Now, as I said before, don’t just say, “I am going todo so and so,” but carry your plan into execution. Don’t make anindefinite plan, but a definite one, and then don’t give up untilyour object has been accomplished. Put these suggestions intopractice with true earnestness, and you will soon noteastonishing results, and your whole life will be completelychanged. An excellent motto for one of pure motives is: Throughmy will power I dare do what I want to. You will find thisaffirmation has a very strengthening effect.
The Spirit of Perseverance. The spirit of “sticktoitiveness” isthe one that wins. Many go just so far and then give up, whereas,if they had persevered a little longer, they would have won out.Many have much initiative, but instead of concentrating it intoone channel, they diffuse it through several, thereby dissipatingit to such an extent that its effect is lost.
Develop more determination, which is only the Will To Do, andwhen you start out to do something stick to it until you getresults. Of course, before starting anything you must look aheadand see what the “finish leads to.” You must select a road thatwill lead to “somewhere,” rather than “nowhere.” The journey mustbe productive of some kind of substantial results. The troublewith so many young men is that they launch enterprises withoutany end in sight. It is not so much the start as the finish of ajourney that counts. Each little move should bring you nearer thegoal which you planned to reach before the enterprise began.
Lack of Perseverance is nothing but the lack of the Will To Do.It takes the same energy to say, “I will continue,” as to say, “Igive up.” Just the moment you say the latter you shut off yourdynamo, and your determination is gone. Every time you allow yourdetermination to be broken you weaken it. Don’t forget this. Justthe instant you notice your determination beginning to weaken,concentrate on it and by sheer Will Power make it continue on the”job.”
Never try to make a decision when you are not in a calm state ofmind. If in a “quick temper,” you are likely to say things youafterwards regret. In anger, you follow impulse rather thanreason. No one can expect to achieve success if he makesdecisions when not in full control of his mental forces.
Therefore make it a fixed rule to make decisions only when atyour best. If you have a “quick temper,” you can quickly gaincontrol over it by simple rule of counting backwards. To countbackwards requires Psychic – Concentration, and you thus quickly regain acalm state. In this way you can break the “temper habit.”
It will do you a lot of good to think over what you said andthought the last time you were angry. Persevere until you seeyourself as others see you. It would do no harm to write thescene out in story form and then sit in judgment of the characterthat played your part.
Special Instructions to Develop the Will To Do. This is a form ofmental energy, but requires the proper mental attitude to make itmanifest. We hear of people having wonderful will power, whichreally is wrong. It should be said that they use their will powerwhile with many it is a latent force. I want you to realize thatno one has a monopoly on will power. There is plenty for all.
What we speak of as will power is but the gathering together ofmental energy, the Psychic – Concentration power at one point. So neverthink of that person as having a stronger will than yours. Eachperson will be supplied with just that amount of will power thathe demands. You don’t have to develop will power if youconstantly make use of all you have, and remember the way inwhich you use it determines your fate, for your life is mouldedto great extent by the use you make of your will. Unless you makeproper use of it you have neither independence nor firmness. Youare unable to control yourself and become a mere machine forothers to use. It is more important to learn to use your willthan to develop your intellect. The man that has not learned howto use his will rarely decides things for himself, but allows hisresolutions to be changed by others. He fluctuates from oneopinion to another, and of course does not accomplish anythingout of the ordinary, while his brother with the trained willtakes his place among the world’s leaders.
