I felt there is very little that i have control over and others can not change this situation until he wants to. I thought to my self if it is God who has control over everything and i do my part then i should leave it to him to do what HE has planned. Since then i have almost stopped crying and this thought is giving me the will power to deal with every situation with strengh than weakness. So my thinking is that you do need some to connect to some one either a human being or in my case i chose to connect with the supper power.

Thanks for the books you've written - I've enjoyed them all but especially your early books on meditation and mind. A question: We know that will power / impulse control can be increased. According to New Scientist (13 Sept) we also have evidence that the areas of brain involved in self control overlap those used for working memory and there is evidence that one tires the other. Also we can refuel self control by keeping blood glucose levels up. So, finally, the question: has anyone done any tests to determine whether 5 or 10 minutes of meditation would replenish ones ability to resist impulses? An interesting article.

For example, one may lack the will power to get up at 2am, or may do so with struggling effort. But if the house was on fire there would be little difficulty in getting up and out real fast. I have seen friends deal with sustained tragedy which requires significant will power to deal with day to day activities which otherwise would seem unbearable, yet the emotional intensity of their experience pushes them through. I believe you can therefore increase your will power, but it requires a deeper connection to the principle that underpins the behaviour. Experience seems to be a great tutor in this regard, but I would love to know how one can independently increase motivation when the heart doesn't feel the same intensity as the head.

It seems to me that it's wrong. It would would be innacurate to say that most people have used up thier limits of self restraint. I think that's a cop out. In my opinion, anybody can do anything they put their mind to do (within reason). There is nothing stopping a person from achieving their personal goals for growth. The only limits that people have are caused by their own self doubts. The bottom line is that we all have to take responsibility for our actions and live our lives accordingly. Limits are only there until they are tested and broken! I found this article interesting, too. It seems to me that it’s wrong.
