Willpower...

I’m listening to an audiobook about Willpower at the moment (insert your own joke about how you’d like to do that but can’t be bothered here 😃 ), and yesterday it reminded me of something that I already knew - deep down we ALL have a remarkable power to keep going when the going gets tough.

The thing is, when it happens (and it happens way more than we realise) we just don’t notice it - for us it’s just how things are, while others are marvelling at our determination.

“This is just what you have to do”, we think, not understanding that others gave up a long way back.

So, when all the opportunities seem like they are in the rear-view mirror, and all you can see ahead are obstacles and challenges, just remember, you’ve done this before, and that means you know how to do it again.
