The power inside to change things.

Hello everybody, I wanted to discuss about a topic which has been floating around the world for quite a while, and that topic is, how can it be that everybody has the power to change things, yet not change things at all?

Willpower, it is this word that has has such a strong feeling to it and also something most of us are scared of. However where does it this fear come from? I found out that too many people have fear of the results .. however how do they know without even trying? Where does this doubt come from, from peers, media, religion, or is it the doubt that has been planted inside humanity from other humans?

I admit, I have been partly a doubter in my teens up until last year because so many stuff has been happening, my Dad lost his family business, we lost our house, been around people that are not exactly much of a supporter, and the most shitty part is, our relatives are not the kinds who pick you up. That is until I realized it all what has been happening around me, so in amidst of it all, my hope suddenly grew into confidence, and then grew to willpower, now suddenly I can do things without anyone holding me back, and the fun part is, it starts affecting my family as well and now we are all focused on achieving what we want most, happiness, and now we learned not to give a shit about others opinions, no matter from family, friend, or stranger.

What does it take to have such willpower, and this word has been popping up to me for a long time now, it's courage. Why stop because somebody says you can't do it, they never tried it so the results of your actions are unknown. Different people have different results in life, but I believe it is the path one chooses and how much effort one must give to reach the finish line.

However a good discussion isn't a SD without also having people that have been faced with a serious trauma in their life that have made them unable to commence any actions at all, but how much pain/trauma must have been put on a person that they later have such weak willpower? Does medicine help, drinking alcohol help, smoking a joint help, what types of things are there that helps traumatized people get back on their feet and start living a normal life filled with willpower and courage to obtain happiness?

Let me know about your opinions and facts, and also your experiences with willpower or from other people, and yes I also wish to know from you what types of things there are that stops people from rising up. I hope I can learn from you guys.

Picture is relevant to the matter of pushing things forward.

I didnt really read this.
But anyways we are only human.
We have no special powers, and even if we did we have spent our whole life trying to figure it out?
What a waste, but if i had one super power i would want to fly!
Maybe in the future someday.

This isn't about super powers .. please read my post so I may have a more appropriate response.

Sorry i just saw Goku and i instantly thought super powers.

That is why I wrote " Picture is relevant to the matter of pushing things forward".

LMAO. Nah, it would have to be shapeshifting.

Back to the topic.

Weak willpower can be the result of your attitude. If someone has confidence and courage and shit hits the fan, it can be a negative effect on their confidence leading them to become frigid/timid.

Multiple things help people with confidence such as alchohol, women, weed or therapy in some cases. Not a good idea since it may lead to deppendancy on whatever helped in the first place. "Sure, let me just take a drink before I ask her out" "Fuck this shit,I'm smoking my weed!" "Bitch dependancy is no laughing matter, Tom" and not getting out of therapy (this branches more into trauma) can lead to serious medication and other methods of psycological treatment (EST for example).

I would say for many it would be doubt and fear of the results they imagined not being up to their expectations. having strong willpower and being courageous is the most wonderful thing one can have to make changes in their life for the better. Even though results are unknown, one can still be happy and say that they are glad they did it and finally found out what results it will be regarding the situation.

I however question myself how is it possible for the mind to be afraid to change oneself? If you ask me, then the seeds of doubt must have been planted from childhood on or something must have happened that made them such, so I agree with you on that point.
