Top 5 Practical Tips to Strengthen Will Power

Before we discuss anything we need to know what will power is. Will power is nothing but knowing what is good for you physically and mentally and then continuously following only that path without getting influenced by temptations, so that you can achieve your goal.

All of us know the importance exercising will power in our life, but we find it hard when it comes to implementation part. The only difference between those who exercise will power and those who do not is that, those persons with will power achieve success in personal and professional life, and those who do not end up as failures.

You goal may be anything in life and you may stand where ever you are now, but if you strengthen your will, you are sure to see desired results. So, let us get down to the point and see the ways to strengthen will.

1. Stop postponing and start acting, if you have been planning from a long while to wake up and go for a walk in the morning, but every time the alarm goes off, you switch it off and go into your blanket. Stop doing that, and start going out when the alarm goes off.




2. Overcome conflict and win over temptation. Every time you are about to exercise will power you will find that there will be a conflict within you, the lower self dragging you down and asking you to do that which is tempting and is pleasurable and the higher self which warns you and in spite of your disliking asks you to stick to what is right and beneficial. Follow your higher self, whenever there is a conflict.

3. When you know you have to do the work, but you don’t feel like doing it now and instead want to spend time otherwise, in that moment itself get up from where you are and start doing the work.

4. To strengthen the will start making the small changes in your daily routine. If you are addicted to watching television daily, start by reducing the number of hours. If you have the habit of eating excess, start eating a balanced and required portion for the next ten days.

5. Whenever you are posed with a situation where in you have a choice to choose what gives pleasure and what is beneficial, let that which is beneficial to you be your choice. Every time by choosing what is beneficial you strengthen your will.

So, in any given situation look for the long term benefits if you exercise your will, instead of giving up for short term pleasures. When you keep this in your mind and start making choices, you will strengthen your will.

Alcohol should be Banned?

In many states, of our country, there is huge revenue generated to the Government by alcohol. Every year the Government is issuing permission and licenses to more number of people, to set up shops and to sell alcohol. How far this is good? Is getting revenue the only concern of the Government or are they are also bothered about the welfare of the people. Today we find even in remote areas where the people in the villages have no water to drink, but alcohol shop will be there. How far this is reasonable.

It will not be wrong to say that in the corner of every street we will find an alcohol shop just like any other shops. Government should think of the welfare of the people, but not to generate revenue on the degradation of the people. There are many number of families that are suffering and are on the roads because of this habit. There are many uneducated people and people working as daily labour, who are getting addicted, and are neglecting their families, because of this habit.

There are many numbers of women who are leading life of misery, just because the husband is alcoholic and is not concerned about the welfare of the family. This problem is not just limited to the lower classes, every day we hear so many cases where the persons are doing accidents by driving after taking alcohol. We hear cases everyday where people commit crimes after consuming alcohol as they have no control over themselves. Even the youth are getting spoiled by this habit; there was a time, when people who took alcohol were looked down in the society. But now it has become a fashion statement.

Those people who do not consume alcohol are considered as specimens. I really wonder where the society is going. The main priority of the Government is to look after the welfare of the people, and to implement and do those things that are good to them. But it is not at all fair to generate revenue, by ruining the life of the people and degrading them. Government should look for sources of alternative income, and stop any such things that are not good for the public.

Western Culture Adopted By India Fair or Not?

We can see the drastic changes that the Indian culture and society has under gone, in the last few years. Its influence on the society it’s people, especially the younger generation has been huge. Let it be the effect of IT boom, wide expansion of corporate sector, globalization, and weekend culture, give it whatever name you want but its effects have been severe. Right from the dressing style to the language that we are speaking the accent everything has changed.

All for a genuine reason, to secure corporate jobs or to find jobs in foreign companies. If you have to work for the client of a particular country you need to have that kind of accent, attitude everything. Is this good or bad? Well, culture by itself is not wrong anywhere, or for that matter any countries culture. Each countries and people’s culture varies, depending on the circumstances and people of the country.

If a particular culture is followed by particular people of the country it suits them their needs and their life style. But when we as outsiders adapt that culture, we should know the limits. If you have to survive yourself in the globalized world secure job, live well there is nothing wrong in learning English, and knowing their culture so that you don’t face problems. But as with others anything in excess is definitely not good.

There is nothing harm in knowing western culture, but to forget our own culture, is bad, there is nothing wrong in learning English, but to forget our mother tongue, and to consider speaking in our mother tongue, as below dignity is not at all a good thing. There is no one who is forcing us to adapt western culture, we are free individuals, having the power to choose, we should know what to adapt and to which extent.
