Where Have You Focused Your Will?

Dr Tae Yun Kim is a martial artist, an author, a speaker and much more.  Here is an excerpt from her book, The Silent Master.

Where Have You Focused Your Will?

When you become ready for something new, you must be willing to work toward your goal. Being willing means two things: It means you are open to experience something new, and it means you use your will power to focus on it and persevere until it is accomplished. When you desire to discover your Silent Master consciousness, your pursuit begins with your will to find it. Your Silent Master consciousness is already within you, but you must seek it actively and with perseverance.

I mentioned before that you might be surprised how much energy it takes to change your life. Since bad habits and negative thinking build up such momentum over time, only your will power can break through and give you the push to get started and to stay on course.

When you realize this, you may be thinking yourself discovery journey is over! "I have no will power," a lot of people say. To this I say: yes, you do. In fact, you're using your will power right now to pursue all the bad habits you presently have. No one orders you to hide when it's time to meet new people. No one makes you fail the exam you didn't study for. You do these things by yourself, with the power of your own will. What you need to do is learn to use your will power constructively and positively.
