You all understand this. It is that aspect of your make-up that enables
you to make your mind and body obey you. The true principle of Will is
closely interlocked with the "I am I" as I have already explained it.
Resolve at the start to do one thing once in 24 hours that you would do
if you were not afraid. Face fear and it is your slave. Your Will-power
enables you to prove things practically to yourself and to the world; to
make actions match-thoughts. Give your Will much exercise in the right
direction. Without Will a man is no better than a log of wood. Keep
your Will strong by auto-suggestion and exercise. Try the powers of your
Will on your personality till you can do anything and be anything. Say "I
can and I will" in a thousand different ways and prove it too. The
requisite qualities that form valuable adjuncts to Will-power are:
1. Determination. 2. Stick-to-it-ive-ness. 3. Perseverance. 4. Invincible
and indomitable courage. 5. Non-attachment. 6. Faith in yourself.
7. Faith in God. 8. I can and I will. Repeat this affirmation often till
it becomes a constant mental trait.
