Life is a series of successive experiences of successes and failures. We are going after what we see as necessary or significant and in that walk one of the most important powers that the human being must develop is the force of the will.
There is an impulse in human beings to grow, to advance, to develop. Whether this impulse is due to biological or cultural causes, the truth is that we experience intense curiosity and permanent dissatisfaction, and these ingredients move us towards new goals with sometimes surprising eagerness.
This desire to modify reality and consolidate more rewarding ways of life demands certain requirements; One of which, I would say indispensable, is the force of the will.
The will is a form of concentrated and firm desire. I define it concretely, as the capacity to know how to wait and to know how to insist, despite adversities. So that is a necessary and powerful resource that complements the initiative.
If you are not a person who is characterized by having an iron will and has a habit of starting projects and leaving them unfinished, you will have in this writing some suggestions that I allow myself to offer you so that you intensify your capacity of support, of auction in terms of the energy of the personal achievement. What to do?.
- Define your objectives: choose what you want to achieve and try to ensure that those objectives, that is, the results you want to achieve, have established deadlines and are consistent with your values, to avoid going after a goal that embarrasses you or makes you uncomfortable. Know the benefits: There is no will without motivation. To motivate yourself, nothing better than knowing what we will gain with the achievements we will obtain. Make sure you know how you will benefit from achieving each goal, and that will keep you stimulated. Activate your initiative: Many people trained in a religious or excessively moral education tend to expect achievements to appear on their own. If there is no seed there is no fruit. Always your seeds, knock on doors, visit people who have the power to bring you closer to your dreams. She does not sit down to wait. Take a first step. Focus: The world is a sea of permanent distractions. To be successful, to achieve what you have set out, you must concentrate, focus, get rid of the thieves of time, who in their idleness go after others so as not to get bored. Attend visits or calls when you consider it appropriate, say "for now I cannot, thank you", value your time and you will earn hours of great value for what you have planned to achieve. Make no excuses: Avoid making excuses. Don't be fooled. Confront that terrible habit and go ahead, go ahead, even if at times you don't feel well. There is no prize without effort. Plan tasks: A long road goes one step at a time. The path to success is full of small tasks. Don't neglect the details or what seems insignificant. Each task is an advance, each brick is part of the building. Be patient: Everything has its rhythm and there are things that cannot be rushed. You will not be able to give birth to a child in three months or force the seed to germinate. I recently invented a saying to help us better grasp the idea: "To every mouth, when it touches." You have to know how to wait. Have perseverance: just as patience is the art of knowing how to wait, perseverance is the art of knowing how to insist. Don't let people and setbacks easily put you off. Although we cannot achieve everything, what is not provided to us today is provided to us tomorrow. Remember that every day is new and today's world is different from yesterday's. Insist. Seek support: There are difficult goals to achieve without help. Sometimes it is convenient to seek the support of a friend, a professional or a group. Ask for help and don't expect it to be free. Accept the law that everything has a price.
If you follow these directions you will create a habit in a few weeks. It is possible to learn to advance on stone paths and in rainy times. Study these postulates, put them into practice and your success will be assured. Thanks for reading me.
