“The power of the will is a fire That lies not outside, but within oneself.” By author **************************************************************** Power of the Will When fate has dealt us severe hammer blows And the sun is veiled for days in a row, When dark clouds shroud our mind with dull despair And strings of sturdy storms lay our soul bare Let us call on the power of the will To infuse in us stern strength to stand still; A sincere sister of perseverance Deep from the self, will power draws its sense And within us eternally resides As a fire to forge ahead that presides Over the part we play to reach our goals Without staining with soil our sacred soul.

"When fate has dealt us severe hammer blows/ And the sun is veiled for days in a row, Let us call on the power of the will/ To infuse in us stern strength to stand still;" Yes, when storms come raging in our lives, it is will power that gives us the strength and stamina to sail across them and reach our destination. Highly inspiring thought. Congratulations dear friend on your top win.

Thank you, dear friend, for visiting my page. I guess your question is for the sake of having a little chat. Power of the will or will power is something each of us has to varying degrees. It is the determination and self-discipline to overcome obstacles in life, to achieve one goals. It is closely related to perseverance. If one has the will power to do something, it is almost half done. ......
