  1. Through my darkest times, through the most heartbreaking truths I find the Willpower to get up, to know that it is just a flaw in life I must deal with. So have a good cry, tell yourself you are strong, you are confident, rock everyone’s world with your strength. You are who you and only you want to be, make it count to be the best you can every single day. Yes, it’s fine to break down every now and then, you know why? Because that is what keeps us sane. It keeps us strong. So the next time you break down, don’t ever think you’re weak, my darling you are stronger than you will ever know.

  2. deprivation makes
    us hungry
    for all we see
    but can not have
    desire makes longing
    losing
    and loss makes men
    to fight or
    give in
    who needs willpower
    when still
    you never win

  3. She willed herself to look away, to stop torturing herself with the images. Or would it take more willpower to soldier through? She wasn’t sure anymore. She wasn’t sure of anything anymore. The pictures confirmed her worst fears and her darkest doubts. It wasn’t enough to be strong anymore.

  4. When Azelf flew, people gained the determination to do things. It was the birth of willpower.

  5. I had just enough willpower to get though the game it was almost over and we were losing by one. I could feel blood in my throat and my heart in my ears. It was almost time for the game to be over so I shot. The ball flying in the air and just as I thought we were screwed, it went in. BEEP. The game was over.

  6. Brianna can’t eat gluten. She’s allergic to it, and it will make her feel sick. It’s very hard not to eat gluten, because so many of our foods contain gluten. It takes a lot of willpower for her to eat right.

  7. Grandma. Grandma in her underwear. Grandma in her underwear scolding him in front of the entire school. He let the image play out in his head in a revolving loop. By the Mrs. Carlson asked him to come to the blackboard and write out the algebra formula, the evidence of his embarrassing reaction to the beautiful girl sitting next to him had disappeared.

  8. I don’t know exactly what willpower means. I think it means the power to do what you want, what you will. I don’t know what else to write. I don’t know what else to write. I don’t know what else to write. I don’t know what else to write. I don’t k

  9. I’m not entirely sure what willpower means. I think it means the you can do what you want, your will. I don’t know what else to write. I don’t know what else to write. I don’t know what else to write. I don’t know what

  11. I do have the willpower to make it another day and a bit until the weekend ! I have the willpower to do these presntations and make panda mumma proud. I have the willpower of a panda cub !

  12. WILL! I love the the concept of willpower. After all, how would I be able to FUNCTION in this world if not for will! Give than

  13. I fucking can’t believe this. After years of meditation, learning my body to control it better, I stood there, lacking the willpower to resist what I’ve tried to refrain for doing: I masturbated with mayonnaise again.

  14. I already wrote about willpower – is there anything else I can write about? I write all of this motivational drool about willpower, about having the strength to go on, because I desperately desire the raw want to continue on with life. I need signs that things will finally be okay for me, because for 18 years, things have not been okay.

  15. Sometimes, you have to persevere. I’m not talking about your ability to lift weights, or to touch people – I’m talking about the ability to keep yourself going, to keep yourself fighting, to keep yourself breathing every damn day of every damn year. You can’t stop fighting, because you only have one shot. Don’t die, and giving up is unacceptable. You will do this.

  16. pulling me out of the cravass
    clawing hand over hand to get out of the shadows from bellow
    willpower is what fuels me to dribble myself out of the doldrums
    and make something in the sunlight
    I can’t photosynthesize
    make my own life
    in darkness

  17. What an amazing thing, greater than the biggest gun, more powerful than the Hulk. it’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. this unstoppable, invincible force!

  18. Through sheer willpower, I alone can overcome my struggles. Through sheer willpower, I will get what I want. What do I want? I want a great many things. Willpower will get me through to the end of my course. Willpower will get me love… Willpower will get me the things I so desire immensely at this point in time.

  21. “Willpower”.
    The word ‘willpower” means hope.
    And hope that builds up the words flooding my mouth,
    And those are the same words running down my fingertips to the keys of my keyboard.
    The same hope that fills my mind with dreams and light,
    Yet, it can fill my mind with nightmares and the darkest of thoughts.
    The darkest of thoughts leading to what I can’t accomplish with the word:
    ‘Willpower”.
    ‘Willpower’ means determination and it means to fight.
    And though I am not strong.
    And though I am not brave.
    I can expect my ‘willpower’ to bring me up through the dark thoughts,
    and nightmares,
    So my bravery itself can find hope in it’s own willpower.

  22. yup “willpower”

  23. I feel coursing power through my veins
    as the sheer thought of that word makes my mind go blank
    with worry
    and thought
    and doubt
    And I don’t understand the real meaning of ‘willpower’
    when it is slung around so freely.

  24. I have the willpower to succeed and need much more to overcome my fear of failure. Basically what I am saying is that I need to start my own company, even if that means working 15 hour days and sacraficing in other areas of my life. Success is my only option. Enterprenuership.

  25. I’m staring at this screen and seeing the blue line running and I know I will run out of time but I have no willpower to do anything to change the outcome. I’m ready.

  26. i knew a guy named will one time he had all the power
    he had all the power in the world to take a shower
    but he didn’t not even for a sixth of a hour
    he just went on smelling like a spilled milk that’s sour

  27. I don’t have a lot of that…It’s so hard to keep…You lose it and you don’t know where it’s gone. You want it back but it eludes your prying eyes. I hate it. I want it. I need it. I need the will to fight for what I want and never back down to KEEP IT. Tha

  28. willpower, that dogged determination to do what you want and should
    , regardless of others. Yet all our lives we’re told to be considerate, praised when we put others first … where’s the willpower in that?

  29. Determination– that was what pulled her back together as she forced herself to stand. Using her spear to straighten her body, even as she wanted to melt away. She could feel it, threatening to liquefy her entire being, but she didn’t care. The monster must be slayed. And for once, that title didn’t apply to her.

  30. No, you deserve one
    It’s moderation, that’s all
    What’s one Oreo?

  31. She had everything she could ever need or want. She lacked the willpower. She sat watching the world orbiting in her hands,

    motionless.

  32. The bulldozer thinks itself unstoppable until the single, small pebble that –all in an instant–lodges between two parts or ends up inside a shaft. Sends the whole thing smoking. That’s all it takes, a few ounces of something just and hard and determined as all of you. Will vs will vs fulcrum vs tipping point vs fall.

  33. In order to stop yourself from eating that cake, you must remember two things. The first, perhaps less significant than the second yet still crucial, is that you hold an enormously useful trait called willpower. The ability to resist, back off, fight, whatever it takes to curb your appetite for that delicious chocolate confection smothered in butterscotch frosting.

    The second thing to remember – and most importantly – is that if you so much as nibble a crumb from that cake, your mother will put you in concrete boots and drop you off a bridge. Don’t do it.

  34. She didn’t know if she could do it. Talk, that is.

    She knows that they’re waiting for her words to form, to flow out of her mouth in the same style as the streams that run past her house.

    But they’ll only tumble off her tongue.

    Her notion of strength is weak in the face of fear.

  35. That was his name. Will Power. I felt kind of sorry for him because people got on his case about it all the time. It wasn’t a bully thing; just a lot of jerks who thought they were being cool. High school crap, you get it. Will was smart, great looking, and cool, though. He shrugged it all off because he’d been hearing it for years and figured he would forever. One time, I asked him,
    “So, do you have any?”
    “What?” he asked.
    “Willpower.”
    “Not in the least. But the weird thing is, when you have a name like this, it kind of keeps you in line with stuff because you don’t want to take any hits for it, know what I mean?”
    “So you’re thin because your name is Will Power?”
    “Yeah. Imagine if I weighed a lot more, all the shit I’d get?”
    “Or if you smoked.”
    “Well, I did smoke. And that’s basically what made me quit.”
    “That’s kind of cool.”
    He agreed with me. That was Will.
