On a scale of one through ten, how would you rate your willpower to get things done?

Take a moment before you answer.

If you’re being honest with yourself then hopefully you’re struggling a little with the answer. In fact, I would be surprised if you’re not whispering to yourself ‘it depends.’

And you’re right. It does depend.

Now if you’re like most people then there are probably things that you’ve wanted to accomplish and for whatever reason, you gave up. And perhaps you justified it by saying something along the lines of ‘I really didn’t want it anymore,’ or, ‘it’s no longer important.’ Both might be true, but there’s also a chance that once you realized how difficult it would be to get what you wanted, you gave up.

And there’s nothing wrong in giving up, sometimes.

But if there’s something you really do want to accomplish and you know that if you don’t, you’ll regret not doing so, you’re going to have to develop an indomitable will.

You have to develop a will that regardless of how much it’s pulled and pushed both by your internal dialogues and external forces, it refuses to give up.

And how do you develop an indomitable will?

Reasons.

Your reasons for accomplishing or acquiring whatever it is that you want must be stronger than your reasons not too. Only once you have strong reasons in place can you activate your will to move forward. Think of your reasons as not only the kindling that sets your will on fire, but also the fuel to keep it burning.

Ultimately for what and where you decide to apply the strength of your will is up to you. But once you commit to doing so, find reasons that give it the power to be indomitable.
