Will Power

What is "Will Power"?
I would define will power as the ability to overcome what is holding you back.  It is determination.  It is rising above laziness and procrastination and going for your goals.  Will power is difficult to find when things are fighting you back.  Stress from daily life can cause you to simply want to crawl up into a ball on the floor and cry!  

So how do you find "Will Power"?
You must have confidence in yourself and see that everyone struggles.  As a teen growing up in a world that is consistently changing while your still adapting to your body is super difficult.  You have all these new responsibilities and no one is really helping you figure out how to get everything done.  Then your parents and teachers have high expectations for you....talk about wanting to give up!  But if you take a second to analyze who you are and what you are good at, you will see that you have something special inside of you.  If you have a hard time seeing what that is, ask someone that knows you well and sees your potential.  You need to find a strategy in how to accomplish the goals you have and a team to cheerlead you on.  If you know what you want and have passion inside of you, you will find a way to make it happen.  That is your "Will Power".  It is what drives you to get things done.

What can "Will Power" accomplish?
Will power will help you decide between what is right and what is wrong which will keep you on the right side of the tracks.  Having a strong will power will help you accomplish your goals, give you better confidence, and therefore open more doors for your future.  You will see that more people will want to be around you, teachers will want to help you succeed, and parents will give you more freedom.  Before you know it, colleges will offer you money to go to their school if you have a strong "Will Power".
