Let a person be secure of keeping their life - let a person be secure in keeping a great love - and you will witness a startling exhibition of Will Power from an unexpected source. Let a person's child be treated with kindness, and they will manifest a degree of Courage and Will that sweeps all before it. And the same person will bloom before a loving spouse, and will have the Will to perform a simple task. A child will do all sorts of work if they but consider it play, they will happily cut a little firewood. Strong Will follows strong Desire. If you really want to do a thing very much, you can usually develop the Will Power to accomplish it.
The good thing is that you can begin to really want to do these things, and you can begin to use your Will. You say that you do want to do it, and if you start to think you will see that these are the only things you really want to do. You are willing to pay the price of attainment. Stop a moment and analyze this statement and apply it in your own case, You are mentally active - that's the good thing. Tell me you have enough Will. You have a great storehouse of Will awaiting your use, and you are energized to use it. Now, because you are really in earnest about this matter, get to work and first find out what you really want to do - then start to work and do it. The Will Power is there - you'll find a full supply of that whenever you need it. The thing to do is to get to the point where you will resolve to do. Thats the real test - the resolving. Think of these things a little, and make up your mind whether or not you really want to be sufficiently easy to get to work.
Many excellent essays and books have been written on this subject, all of which agree regarding the greatness of Will Power, the most enthusiastic terms being used; many have something to say about how this power may be used by those who have it, or who possess it in but a huge degree.

The Secret of the Will - Page 1
WHILE psychologists may differ in their theories regarding the nature of the Will, all affirm its existence, and its power. All persons recognize the power of strong Will - all see how it may be used to overcome the greatest obstacles. Some realize that the Will may be developed and strengthened by intelligent practice. They feel that they could accomplish wonders if they had a strong Will, and when attempting to develop it, they spur themselves with reliable satisfaction. They breathe, and do it.
Those who have investigated the subject closely know that Will Power, with all its latent possibilities and mighty powers, may be developed, disciplined, controlled and directed, just as may be any other of Nature's forces. You may entertain any theory about the nature of the Will, and you will still obtain the results if you practice intelligently.
Personally, I have a somewhat odd theory about the Will. I believe that everyone has, potentially, a strong Will, and that all they have to do is to train their mind to make use of it. I think that in the higher regions of the mind of everyone has a great store of Will Power awaiting their use. The Will current is running along the psychic wires, and all that it is necessary to do is to raise the mental trolley-pole and bring down the power for your use. And the supply is unlimited, for your little storage battery is connected with the great powerhouse of the Universal Will Power, and the power is inexhaustible. Your Will is just there it is your Mind that needs training. The mind is the instrument and the supply of Will Power is proportionate to the fineness of the instrument through which it manifests. Accept this theory if you like it. But, this lesson will fit any theory as well as mine.
