The Will To Win

Are you willing to win at all costs?

This is a question that can have a couple of different meanings. In the positive, it is asking are you willing to persevere through whatever challenges faced to be successful. At the same time, one can read it to mean are you willing to engage in any behavior, even illegal/immoral, to win. Obviously, which is chosen depends upon the person who is deciding what to do.

I am not a proponent that all that is illegal is wrong. Nor do I subscribe to the ideas about morality since I believe this is a highly personal issue. Blindly following these two idea, legality and morality are falling prey to the two biggest controllers in our lives: government and religious institutions. Billions of people fall under their control without a second thought to what they are being taught.

Civil Disobedience

History is full of people who disobeyed the laws of the time. Some had such a profound impact on the culture that their names are recorded in the history books. Their desire for change might not have been on a grand scale, but that is exactly what happened. Ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Rosa Parks is just such a person.

We all know the story behind Rosa Parks disobedience. In short, she broke the law. Her refusal to yield her seat was illegal at that time. Also, in many eyes, it was also immoral for a black person to consider herself equal to a white person. In hindsight, we see how wrong the laws and morals were. Her disobedience set forth a movement which changed the culture in its' entirety. A cultural battles was waged over the next 15 years called 'The Civil Rights Movement'. Many proclaim that this simple act of defiance set the whole movement in motion.

What Are You Willing To Do?

After reflecting upon Parks' action, my question is 'what are you willing to do in your life'? What lengths are you willing to go to reach the pinnacle? Are you willing to shed those old ideas which are presently holding you captive? Overcoming fear and social conditioning are two primary steps to freedom.

In my book, Sexual Motivation, I wrote about the extreme pressure that society puts upon us with the way it conditions us. We are taught that we are to behave in a certain way. Rosa Parks was reared in a similar situation. At that time, the prevailing thought was that blacks were not equal to whites in any manner. This is what was ingrained in her head. Thus, it was common sense that a black person forfeit her seat for a white person. However, on that day, Parks had a different idea.

Are you willing to question what you were taught? This is an incredibly hard challenge if you choose to undertake it. Many do not realize the security we gain from our belief system. It is what keeps the world in order in our minds. Whenever we cast that aside and question what we believe, we are in jeopardy of putting ourselves in a place where we feel lost. Imagine the fear that goes along with considering that something you held as so true is a farce. Depending upon the belief, this can be shattering.

The Will To Win

How strong is this within you? Are you willing to go to any length to achieve the success you are seeking? Becoming part of the "Elite" is not an easy undertaking. In most cases, it requires the complete upheaval of your entire life. Everything from beliefs to habits to career choices to associates need to be explored. Having the internal strength to make some pretty challenging decisions is necessary for your advancement. The will to win means that you are not going to be stopped no matter what. For many, this is simply too much to bear.

The greatest enemy any of us has is our own minds. This single mechanism can stop a battleship. Some of the greatest ideas in history were cast aside because of thoughts the mind created. While it generated the idea to start, it also enacts the fear which caused the dismissal. Having the will to win means that we overcome this fear based decision-making and take action. Life is about moving forward as opposed to standing still. Those who succumb to fear get eaten up by it.

Every path has obstacles in the way. Tapping into a powerful will is what allows you to overcome these challenges while having breakthroughs. Truly, we are the only thing that can stop ourselves. External forces serve as a delay to our destinations. The only way they can stop us is if we choose it. As long as we desire to surmount whatever is in front of us, we will. That is where the will to win comes out.

Life is not meant to be easy. Growth is not something that comes easy. It is only by going through the difficult times that we are able to experience the remarkable advancement of our capabilities. Taking the easy path only makes us weaker. Follow this for a while and you will wake up one day a slave. The powerful always are working to make themselves stronger. If you are not part of the "Elite" then you need to be working twice as hard. This begins with the journey within.

Ultimately, you are responsible for the life that you lead. There is nothing in this world that can stop you if you are determined to change. Most people will wait until the pain of remaining the same is great enough before undertaking anything different. However, a new world opens up for those who proactively seek something different. Developing the will to attain all that is available will further set you apart from the mediocre. Trust me when I tell you that the "Elite" have the will to win. Do you?

If you don't, decide now that you are going to get it. Your life depends upon it.
