Mental Strength And The Will To Do

“The Will To Do” is the greatest mental strength power in the world. The Will To Do is concerned with individuals achieving personal success that does not take into consideration a persons “limits” in advance.

Think about it, the things that we do now, a few years ago were thought of a being impossible. I think it’s safe today the universal mantra is “All things are possible.”

The Will To Do is a mental strength force that is extremely practical, yet it’s difficult to define. It can be compared to electricity because we know what electricity is by its’ cause and effects. It is a power we can use and direct and to just the extent we direct it do we determine how it will affect our lives.

Every time you accomplish any personal goal, consciously or unconsciously, you used the mental strength principle of the Will. You can Will to do anything whether it is right or wrong, and therefore the way you use your will makes a big difference in your life.

Every person possesses some “Will To Do.” It is the inner energy which controls all conscious acts. What you will to do directs your life forces. All habits, good or bad, are the result of what you will to do. You improve or lower your condition in life by what you will to do. Your will has a connection with all avenues of knowledge, all activities, all accomplishment.

You probably know of stories where people have shown amazing mental strength under extreme circumstances. For instance, I think we’ve all heard of the story of a grandmother lifting a car that had pined her grandson. Or even President Washington at Valley Forge and crossing the Delaware River in the middle of winter. In both these cases, and numerous similar events, it was the “Will To Do” that was used these extraordinary feats.

Personal success is using the mental strength force of the Will To Do the little things under extreme discomfort and pain.

Little Things Done Well Open The Doors Of Opportunity For Personal Success

The Mental strength force of The Will accomplishes far greater results through activities that grow out of focused concentration. It is in the concentration that we direct and use this force the accomplishment of our personal goals.

When you learn so to use it, your Will power becomes a powerful force. Almost everything can be accomplished through its proper use. It is greater than physical force because it can be used to control not only physical but mental and emotional forces.

There are very few that possess perfectly developed and balanced Will power, but those who do easily crush out their weak qualities. Study yourself carefully. Find out your greatest weakness and then use your will power to overcome it. In this way eradicate your faults, one by one, until you have built up a strong character and personality.

Rules for Engagement

A desire or dream comes to you. As part of the achievable outcome process you look at the goal and determine if its’ ecological, that is, good for you, good for others and good for community. If it is not, use your Will power to kill out the desire. If it is ecological, then use your mental strength force of your Will power to crush all obstacles in your way so that you will successfully reach this personal goal.

Procrastination

Given that you know the majority of information, procrastination is a mental weakness of Will power.

You know you should do something, but you delay doing it through procrastination. It is easier not to do a certain thing than to do it, but your gut says to do it. The vast majority of persons are failures because of the lack of deciding to take action when they should. Those that are successful have been quick to grasp opportunities by making a quick decision and taking action. This power of will can be used to achieve any personal goal whether it’s better health and fitness, deeper relationships or wealth and abundance.

Practice

For the next week practice making quicker decisions, maybe set a specific time to get up AND out of bed, arrive at appointments early, order quickly off a menu. Remember, how you do anything is a reflection of how you do everything.

If you want personal success you have to learn to quick right decisions. A leader makes the right decision quickly, and if it’s not he makes the decision it right.

By making quick decisions on little things you will build the habit and ability to make quick decisions in bigger things. Never procrastinate. Decide quickly one way or the other even at the risk of deciding wrong. Practice this for a week or two and notice your improvement.

Lack of Initiative

This, too, keeps many people for reaching personal success. These individuals have fallen into the way of just going through the motions. We often hear the expression, “He seems clever enough, but he lacks initiative.”

Life for them is one continuous grind.

Day after day they go through the same monotonous round of duties, while those that are “getting along” are using their initiative to get greater fullness of life. There is nothing so responsible for poverty as this lack of initiative, this power to think and do for ourselves.

You Are as Good as Anyone

You have will power, and when you use it, you will share in the luxuries that life has to offer. So use your will to claim your own personal success. Don’t depend on anyone else to help you. We all have to fight our own battles. All the world loves a hero, while the coward is despised by all.

Every person’s problems are different, so analyze your opportunities and conditions and study your natural abilities and leverage them as best you can. Develop plans for improvement and then put them into action. Don’t just say, “I am going to do so and so,” take action and execute your plan.

Don’t make an indefinite plan, but a definite one, and then don’t give up until your person goal has been accomplished.

Put these suggestions into practice with mental strength intensity, and you’ll soon see amazing results, and your whole life will be completely changed. An excellent mantra to help you is “Start Strong and Finish Stronger!”

Perseverance

The spirit of “sticktoitiveness” is the one that wins. Many go just so far and then give up, whereas, if they had persevered a little longer, they would have reached their goal. Many have much initiative, but instead of concentrating it into a laser focus, they diffuse it through several through “multi-tasking”, thus dissipating their energy to such an extent that its effects are lost.

Develop more determination, which is only the Will To Do, and when you start out to do something stick to it until you get results. Of course, before starting anything you must look ahead and see what the “finish leads to.”

You must select a road that will lead to “somewhere,” rather than “nowhere.” The journey must be productive of some kind of substantial results. The trouble with so many people is that they start a business, project without any end in sight…no real goal. It’s not so much the start as the finish of a journey that counts. Each little move should bring you closer to a clearly defined personal goal.

Lack of Perseverance

It takes the same energy to say, “I will continue,” as to say, “I give up.” The moment you say “I give up” you shut off your dynamo, and your determination is gone. Every time you allow your determination to be broken you weaken it. Remember this. The very instant you notice your determination beginning to weaken, concentrate on it and by sheer mental strength and Will power and continue.

Always make a decision when you are in a calm state of mind. If you’re angry or upset you’re most likely to say and do things you’ll later regret. When you’re angry, you follow impulse rather than reason. You can only expect to achieve success when you make decisions when you are in full control of our emotions and mental strength forces.

Therefore make it a fixed rule to make decisions only when at your best. If you have a “quick temper,” there some old advice that stills work…count backwards from 10 slowly. To count backwards requires concentration, and you thus quickly regain a calm state. In this way you can break the “temper habit.”

It’s a good idea to think about what you said and thought the last time you were angry so that you can change it. Think of how you want others to perceive you then begin to live it.

Developing the Will To Do

This is a form of mental strength energy and requires the proper mental attitude to make it manifest. We hear of people having wonderful will power, which isn’t completely correct. It should be said that they have the mental strength capacity to USE their will power while others have not yet developed this mental strength force.

No one has a monopoly on will power, there is plenty for all.

Will power is really nothing but the focusing of mental strength energy, the concentration of this power at one point. We all have this potential in us. Each person develops the exact amount will power they demand. In order to develop more will power you will need to expend all you have to then some, that is you must step out of our comfort zone to develop more will power. Remember the way in which you use your mental strength and will power determines your fate, for your life is molded to great extent by the use you make of your will and mental strength.

Unless you make proper use of these forces you have not achieve personal success, independence or courage. When you are unable to control yourself you become a mere machine for others to use.

It is more important to learn to use your will than to develop your intellect. The person that has not learned how to use his will rarely decides things for himself, but allows his resolutions to be changed by others.

He who oscillates from one opinion to another does not accomplish anything out of the ordinary, while someone who has developed their mental strength will take their place among the world’s leaders.

Mental Strength, Iron Will Part & Personal Success

Personal Develpoment No Responses »

Jan 042011

This post is based on the book “Iron Will” by Orison Swett Marden. I have modified it slightly to reflect the association of iron will with mental strength.

His information is still as powerful today as the day he wrote it. By applying these concepts you will not only enhance your personal development, but reach new levels of personal performance and personal success.

A strong, defiant purpose is many-handed, and lays hold of whatever is near that can serve it; it has a magnetic power that draws to itself whatever is kindred”. – T.T. Munger

What is mental strength but will-power, looked at in a large way, but energy of character? Energy of will, self-originating force, is the soul of every great character. Where it is, there is life; where it is not, there is faintness, helplessness, and despondency. “Let it be your first study to teach the world that you are not wood and straw; that there is some iron in you, that you are mental strong.” Men who have left their mark upon the world have been men of great and prompt decision. The achievements of mental strength and will-power are almost beyond computation. Scarcely anything seems impossible to the man who can will strongly enough and long enough. One talent with a will behind it will accomplish more than ten without it, as a thimbleful of powder in a bullet and the barrel which will give it direction, will do greater execution than a carload burned in the open air.

The Wills, The Won’ts and the Can’ts

There are three kinds of people in the world: The wills, the won’ts, and the can’ts. The first accomplish everything; the second oppose everything; the third fail in everything.

The shores of fortune, as Foster says, are covered with the stranded wrecks of men of brilliant ability, but who have wanted courage, faith, and decision, and have therefore perished in sight of more resolute but less capable adventurers, who succeeded in making port.

Were I called upon to express in a word the secret of so many failures among those who started out with high hopes, I should say they lacked will-power. They could not half will: and what is a man without a will? He is like an engine without steam. Genius unexecuted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks.

Will has been called the spinal column of personality. “The will in its relation to life,” says an English writer, “may be compared at once to the rudder and to the steam engine of a vessel, on the confined and related action of which it depends entirely for the direction of its course and the vigor of its movement.”

Strength of will is the test of a young man’s possibilities. Can he will strong enough, and hold whatever he undertakes with an iron grip? It is the iron grip that takes and holds. What chance is there in this crowding, pushing, selfish, greedy world, where everything is pusher or pushed, for a young man with no will, no grip on life? The man who would forge to the front in this competitive age must be a man of prompt and determined decision.

A Tailors Needle

It is in one of Ben Jonson’s old plays: “When I once take the humor of a thing, I am like your tailor’s needle–I go through with it.”

This is not different from Richelieu, who said: “When I have once taken a resolution, I go straight to my aim; I overthrow all, I cut down all.”

And in business affairs the counsel of Rothschild is to the same effect: “Do without fail that which you determine to do.”

Gladstone’s children were taught to accomplish “to the end” whatever they might begin, no matter how insignificant the undertaking might be.

Worse Than Rashness

It is irresolution that is worse than rashness. “He that shoots,” says Felltham, “may sometimes hit the mark; but he that shoots not at all can never hit it. Irresolution is like an ague; it shakes not this nor that limb, but all the body is at once in a fit.”

The man who is forever twisting and turning, backing and filling, hesitating and dawdling, shuffling and parleying, weighing and balancing, splitting hairs over non-essentials, listening to every new motive which presents itself, will never accomplish anything. But the positive man, the decided man, is a power in the world, and stands for something; you can measure him, and estimate the work that his energy will accomplish.

Opportunity is coy, is swift, is gone, before the slow, the unobservant, the indolent, or the careless can seize her. “Vigilance in watching opportunity,” said Phelps, “tact and daring in seizing upon opportunity; force and persistence in crowding opportunity to its utmost of possible achievement–these are the martial virtues which must command success.” “The best men,” remarked Chapin, “are not those who have waited for chances, but who have taken them; besieged the chance; conquered the chance; and made chance the servitor.”

Is it not possible to classify successes and failures by their various degrees of will-power? A man who can resolve vigorously upon a course of action, and turns neither to the right nor to the left, though a paradise tempt him, who keeps his eyes upon the goal, whatever distracts him, is sure of success.

Conscious Power

“Conscious power,” (and I’ll add mental strength) says Melles, “exists within the mind of every one. Sometimes its existence is unrealized, but it is there. It is there to be developed and brought forth, like the culture of that obstinate but beautiful flower, the orchid. To allow it to remain dormant is to place one’s self in obscurity, to trample on one’s ambition, to smother one’s faculties. To develop it is to individualize all that is best within you, and give it to the world. It is by an absolute knowledge of yourself, the proper estimate of your own value.”

“There is hardly a reader,” says an experienced educator, “who will not be able to recall the early life of at least one young man whose childhood was spent in poverty, and who, in boyhood, expressed a firm desire to secure a higher education. If, a little later, that desire became a declared resolve, soon the avenues opened to that end. That desire and resolve created an atmosphere which attracted the forces necessary to the attainment of the purpose. Many of these young men will tell us that, as long as they were hoping and striving and longing, mountains of difficulty rose before them; but that when they fashioned their hopes into fixed purposes aid came unsought to help them on the way.”

Do You Believe in Yourself?

The man without self-reliance and an iron will is the plaything of chance, the puppet of his environment, the slave of circumstances. Are not doubts the greatest of enemies? If you would succeed up to the limit of your possibilities, must you not constantly hold to the belief that you are success-organized, and that you will be successful, no matter what opposes? You are never to allow a shadow of doubt to enter your mind that the Creator intended you to win in life’s battle. Regard every suggestion that your life may be a failure, that you are not made like those who succeed, and that success is not for you, as a traitor, and expel it from your mind as you would a thief from your house.

There is something sublime in the youth who possesses the spirit of boldness and fearlessness, who has proper confidence in his ability to do and dare.

The world takes us at our own valuation. It believes in the man who believes in himself, but it has little use for the timid man, the one who is never certain of himself; who cannot rely on his own judgment, who craves advice from others, and is afraid to go ahead on his own account.

It is the man with a positive nature, the man who believes that he is equal to the emergency, who believes he can do the thing he attempts, who wins the confidence of his fellow-man. He is beloved because he is brave and self-sufficient.

Those who have accomplished great things in the world have been, as a rule, bold, aggressive, and self-confident. They dared to step out from the crowd, and act in an original way. They were not afraid to be generals.

There is little room in this crowding, competing age for the timid, vacillating youth. He who would succeed to-day must not only be brave, but must also dare to take chances. He who waits for certainty never wins.

“The law of the soul is eternal endeavor, That bears the man onward and upward forever.”

“A man can be too confiding in others, but never too confident in himself.”

Never admit defeat or poverty. Stoutly assert your divine right to hold your head up and look the world in the face; step bravely to the front whatever opposes, and the world will make way for you. No one will insist upon your rights while you yourself doubt that you have any. Believe you were made for the place you fill. Put forth your whole energies. Be awake, electrify yourself; go forth to the task. A young man once said to his employer, “Don’t give me an easy job. I want to handle heavy boxes, shoulder great loads. I would like to lift a big mountain and throw it into the sea,”–and he stretched out two brawny arms, while his honest eyes danced and his whole being glowed with conscious strength.

The world in its heart admires the stern, determined doer. “The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.” “It is wonderful how even the apparent casualties of life seem to bow to a spirit that will not bow to them, and yield to assist a design, after having in vain attempted to frustrate it.”

“The man who succeeds,” says Prentice Mulford, “must always in mind or imagination live, move, think, and act as if he gained that success, or he never will gain it.”

“We go forth,” said Emerson, “austere, dedicated, believing in the iron links of Destiny, and will not turn on our heels to save our lives. A book, a bust, or only the sound of a name shoots a spark through the nerves, and we suddenly believe in will. We cannot hear of personal vigor of any kind, great power of performance, without fresh resolution.”

Mental Strength and Iron Will

Personal Develpoment No Responses »

Dec 022010

: Image via Wikipedia

I was recently inspired by the book “Iron Will” by Orison Swett Marden. It resonates so much with my philosophy of mental strength. I’m going to take some of the passages from “Iron Will” and translate them into mental strength language.

Part I

“The education of the will is the object of our existence,” said Emerson.

This is an understatement, if we look at the human will in its relations to the divine. This agrees with what J. Stuart Mill said “a character is a completely fashioned will.”

In respect to everyday matters, the development and discipline of one’s will-power is critical in relation to personal success. It’s difficult to estimate the power of will. It is a part of our divine nature, and an element of the power of creation.

The achievements of history have been the choices, the determinations, the creations, of the human will. It was the will that men like Wilberforce and Garrison, Goodyear and Cyrus Field, Bismarck and Grant, made them determined and mentally strong. They simply would do what they planned. These men can no more be stopped than the sun or the oceans tide can be. Most men fail, not through lack of education or agreeable personal qualities, but from lack of dogged determination, mental strength and lack of bold will.

“It is impossible,” says Sharman, “to look into the conditions under which the battle of life is being fought, without perceiving how much really depends upon the extent to which the will-power is cultivated, strengthened, and made operative in right directions.” All people need to be educated and trained for the development of will. We live in an era of abundant athletic competitions. Those who are determined to have athletic will-power utilize the kind of mental and physical exercise required to develop their mental strength and will.

MENTAL STRENGTH DISCIPLINE

The athlete trains for his race; and the mind must be put into training to win life’s race and reach personal peak performance.

“It is,” says Professor Mathews, “only by continued, strenuous efforts, repeated again and again, day after day, week after week, and month after month, that the ability can be acquired to fasten the mind to one subject, however abstract or knotty, to the exclusion of everything else. The process of obtaining this self-mastery–this complete command of one’s mental powers–is a gradual one, its length varying with the mental constitution of each person; but its acquisition is worth infinitely more than the utmost labor it ever costs.”

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education,” it was said by Professor Huxley, “is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson which ought to be learned, and, however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson which he learns thoroughly.”

DOING THINGS ONCE

When Henry Ward Beecher was asked how it was that he could accomplish so much more than other men, he replied:

“I don’t do more, but less, than other people. They do all their work three times over: once in anticipation, once in actuality, once in rumination. I do mine in actuality alone, doing it once instead of three times.”

This was by the intelligent and mental strength exercise of Mr. Beecher’s will-power in concentrating his mind upon what he was doing at a given moment, and then turning to something else. Anyone who has observed business men closely has noticed this characteristic. One of the secrets of a successful life is to be able to hold all of our energies upon one point, to focus all of the scattered rays of the mind upon one place or thing.

See how this contradicts with the notion of multitasking?

CENTRALIZING FORCE

The mental strength reservoir for most people is like a leaky dam, where the greater part of the water flows out without going over the wheel and doing the work of the mill. This is the habit of mind-wandering and worrying about this and that,

Genius, the power which amazes us eyes, is often nothing but perseverance in disguise.

People with fragmentary efforts, disconnected attempts, lack of concentration and uncontrolled by any fixed idea, will never bring personal success. It is definiteness of purpose alone that achieves results.

LEARNING TO SWIM

The way to learn to run is to run; the way to learn to swim is to swim. The way to learn to develop mental strength and will-power is by the actual exercise of will-power in the business of life. “The man that exercises his will,” says an English essayist, “makes it a stronger and more effective force in proportion to the extent to which such exercise is intelligently and perseveringly maintained.” The use of will-power is a means of strengthening will-power. The will becomes strong by exercise. To stick to a thing till you are master, is a test of intellectual discipline, mental strength and will power.

DR. CUYLER

“It is astonishing,” says Dr. Theodore Cuyler, “how many men lack this power of ‘holding on’ until they reach the goal. They can make a sudden dash, but they lack grit. They are easily discouraged. They get on as long as everything goes smoothly, but when there is friction they lose heart. They depend on stronger personalities for their spirit and strength. They lack independence or originality. They only dare to do what others do. They do not step boldly from the crowd and act fearlessly.”

THE BIG TREES

What’s needed by a person who desires to succeed and reach their peak potential is careful planning. They must accumulate reserved power equal to all potential emergencies. Thomas Starr King said that the great trees of California gave him his first impression of the power of reserve. “It was the thought of the reserve energies that had been compacted into them,” he said, “that stirred me. The mountains had given them their iron and rich stimulants, the hills had given them their soil, the clouds had given their rain and snow, and a thousand summers and winters had poured forth their treasures about their vast roots.”

Nobody can hope to do anything above that of being average that has not made their life a reservoir of power on which they can constantly draw, which will never fail them in any emergency. Be sure that you have stored away, in your power-house, the energy, the knowledge that will be equal to the great occasion when it comes. “If I were twenty, and had but ten years to live,” said a great scholar and writer, “I would spend the first nine years accumulating knowledge and getting ready for the tenth.”

“I WILL”

“There are no two words in the English language which stand out in bolder relief, like kings upon a checker-board, to so great an extent as the words ‘I will.’ There is strength, depth and solidity, decision, confidence and power, determination, vigor and individuality, in the round, ringing tone which characterizes its delivery. It talks to you of triumph over difficulties, of victory in the face of discouragement, of will to promise and strength to perform, of lofty and daring enterprise, of unfettered aspirations, and of the thousand and one solid impulses by which man masters impediments in the way of progression.”

As one has well said: “He who is silent is forgotten; he who does not advance falls back; he who stops is overwhelmed, distanced, crushed; he who ceases to become greater, becomes smaller; he who leaves off gives up; the stationary is the beginning of the end–it precedes death; to live is to achieve, to will without ceasing.”

Be thou a hero; let thy might Tramp on eternal snows its way, and through the ebon walls of night, Hew down a passage unto day.” – Park Benjamin

I hope you enjoyed my rendition of Chapter One of “Iron Will”

Developing Will Power and Self Discipline

Inner strength, Mental Strength 4 Responses »

May 302010

Most people admire and respect strong individuals who have won great success by manifesting will power and self discipline. People in all walks of life, who with sheer will power, self discipline and ambition have improved their life, learned new skills, overcame difficulties and hardships, reduced their weight, raised high in their chosen field or advanced on the spiritual path.

The truth is that everyone can reach high levels of will power and self-discipline through a practical method of mental strength training. These inner powers are not reserved for a few special people.

Will power and self discipline are two of the most important and useful inner powers in everyone’s life, and have always been considered as essential tools for success in all areas of life. They can be learned and developed like any other skill, yet, in spite of this, only few take any steps to develop and strengthen them in a systematic way.

What is will power?

It is the inner strength to make a decision, take action, and handle and execute any aim or task until it is accomplished, regardless of inner and outer resistance, discomfort or difficulties.

It bestows the ability to overcome laziness, temptations and negative habits, and to carry out actions, even if they require effort, are unpleasant and tedious or are contrary to one’s habits.

What is self discipline?

It is the rejection of instant gratification in favor of something better. It is the giving up of instant pleasure and satisfaction for a higher and better goal.

It manifests as the ability to stick to actions, thoughts and behavior, which lead to improvement and success. Self-discipline is self-control, and it manifests in spiritual, mental, emotional and physical discipline.

The purpose of self-discipline is not living a limiting or a restrictive lifestyle. It does not mean being narrowed minded or living like a fakir. It is one of the pillars of success and power. It endows the inner strength to focus all the energy on a goal and persevere until it is accomplished.

Both of these abilities are required for daily actions and decisions, and also for making major decisions and attaining major success. They are needed to start and continue studying, building a business, losing weight, bodybuilding and physical exercises, maintaining good relationships, changing habits, self improvement, meditation, spiritual growth, keeping and carrying out promises and for almost everything else.

One of the most simple and effective methods to develop will power and self-discipline is by refusing to satisfy unimportant and unnecessary desires. Everyone is constantly confronted and tempted by an endless stream of desires and temptations, many of which are not really important or desirable. By learning to refuse to satisfy every one of them, you get stronger.

Refusing and rejecting useless, harmful or unnecessary desires and actions, and behaving contrary to your habits, sharpen and strengthen your mindset. By constant practice your inner power grows, just like exercising your muscles at a gym increases your physical strength. In both cases, when you need inner power or physical strength, they are available at your disposal.

Here are a few examples:

Don’t read the newspaper for a day or two.
Drink water when thirsty, in spite of your desire to have a soft drink.
Walk up and down the stairs instead of taking the lift.
Get down from the bus one station before or after your destination, and walk the rest of the way.
For a week go to sleep one hour earlier than usual.
Sometimes resist the desire to eat ice cream.

These are only a few examples of the many mental strength exercises that can be conducted in order to develop will power, self-discipline that in turn will increase your personal performance. Exercises like these add to the storehouse of your inner strength. By following a systematic method of training you can reach far, have more control over yourself and your life, attain your goals, and improve your life, and gain satisfaction and peace of mind.

Please let me know how you develop your will power and discipline in the comments below.
