Anyone can say no… once, twice, maybe three times, but how
many of us can develop a strong and consistent pattern of accurately deciphering
what are the right and wrong decisions for
our lives? We have seen the very best of leaders fall and seen others perceived
by most as weak; prevail over monumental obstacles in their life. What is the
difference? You will find the answer in Endurance, and Will-power.
Wednesday night, the Warriors-in-Training learned that
Endurance is an earned discipline, allowing you to stay the course, while
Will-Power is what gives you the innate ability to make tough decisions.
The take away is simply that we must focus now on building
endurance; we can not wait until later because later is too late. Our endurance
is fortified with a band of brothers invested in ensuring we get to where it is
we say we want to go, Warriors!
Regarding Will-Power, we must all ask ourselves if we have
it within ourselves to turn away from the seemingly great things that wish to
distract, destroy and take us off the course we have set for ourselves. More
importantly, do we have the courage to have enough will-power to grab unto the
goals we truly desire and dig in tooth and nail, never letting anyone vanquish
our dreams? The enemy of the right thing is all too often usually disguised as
a seemingly good thing.
A Warrior knows that it does not matter that which disguises
itself as good; what matters is knowing what is authentically and unequivocally
right. The action produced from this
knowledge is where Will-power is harnessed and grown. Endurance is the result of making that right
decision over and over again.
Do you have Will-Power?
Can you harness that into Endurance?
