Willpower

A week a go I wrote a speech to school in english, I chose to write about willpower and I want to share my speech with you cause willpower is important in our moral lifes. For a examlple if you want to loose weight or gain weight or build muscle or start eating cleas as this blog is about. I took a example with drug addicts in this speech. But I dont hope that anyone of my followers are drug addicts, as for myself I use my willpower at the gym, to eat more, to eat healthy, to learn to enjoy sometimes etc. What is willpower for you? Here is my speech: "What is willpower?  Willpower is just a word but you should not underestimate the power of the word itself. The words meaning is more powerful than you can imagine. Willpower is something that you want to do and make it happen even though it can be really hard to achieve. The willpower will be the difference between success or failure. Willpower is necessary because our moral life often requires us to do things we don't like doing--such as going to work instead of going out with our friends and just relax the whole day. I feel that there are different degrees of will power. What I don?t know or understand is why some individuals have a stronger ability to control those conditions and some don?t.  Can it be learned and practiced? Can you increase your ability by a technic? Is it something you?re born with, or is it learned by time? As for myself - I feel I have great will power. Will power is to WANT something and do something about it even though its hard. The reason that drug addictions are so persistent is that people do not want to quit.  You can threaten people with a withdrawal of your love, you can force them to go to rehab, you can threaten them with prison, and you can even send them to prison.  But, no matter how horrible you make the "consequences," it will not change how badly the drug addict wants to do the drug.  So, until the drug addict decides on his own that he no longer wants the drug, any abstinence that is achieved is achieved through will power.  But, as such, it will be a precarious and subject to relapse.  If you believe you can do it you are probably right and if you don?t believe that you can do it you are for sure right. If you don?t believe in yourself nothing will happen. Do you want something bad enough you will make it. Im not saying its going to be easy but its going to be worth it. You are going to struggle, you are going to feel like giving up, you are going to cry and you are going to laugh. This is about your life choices and if its important for you and you want it you are going to be able to make it. Fight for what you want and believe in yourself and nothing is impossible. All you need is to believe."
