You are wise. Alas, as I discover my Will, I find that passion is my strong point. And so much more mentally healthy (for me). Will power somehow denotes that I’ve the strength to avoid something, but passion denotes I’ve the strength to pursue something. I always like to move towards something rather than away from something if i can work it. This is my work within Will: know passion and so much else takes care of itself. I actually have passion generating exercises. I bet you do too.

Not inspiration or motivation. Those get you started but it’s willpower that gets you across the finish line. Going green, overcoming manic depression, not only veganism but raw veganism, acting, dancing, activism and many other things you have chosen are inspiring and motivating unto themselves.

But they are also not easy.

Many people discover what inspires them but it’s all in the doing. If all it took was inspiration the world would be full of artists and healthy people.

Willpower. Everybody has it but it’s a muscle that has to be flexed. When it comes to willpower you’re an Olympic class athlete. Inspiration motivates and focuses the will. They push the rock but the rock just doesn’t roll down hill. The will is more like Sisyphus, but you occasionally reach the top of the hill. WillPOWER.

I am inspired by many things, including you. What moves me? In the end it’s the same thing that moves everybody else.

ME!

Thank you so very much for sharing! I still say it’s will power and self confidence more than the raw food!
