I like to believe that I have tremedous will power and that if I put my mind to something I will achieve it...well, every now and again I put that will power to test with what others would call small things but are big for me. Right now, for example, I have cut out coffee for an entire week - I absolutely loooooooooooooove coffee, frankly, I am one of those people that you don't want to mess with until I had my first cup of coffee so...I challaged myself and guess what, I am on my 4th day of no coffee at all!!!! Do you ever test your will power?? How??

Yes, i test my will power, usually when i must withstand to a chalenge or if i really must get rid of some bad habbits/ or relations/. The question is when this is really a will power and when- just a pride or stubborness.

Interesting way of looking at will power - I guess it depends what you are dealing with... Thank you for responding!

i do not remember having put my will power to the test. my will power has constantly been put to the test by the demands of time, i should say. then, i do my best to be able to hurdle them all. i mostly come out the winner but, not always. maybe, my success rate is a good 70%. you are telling me now that i must increase this till it reaches 90%. i can see now the need to work on my willpower all the more. failures on this regard will really hurt the household.
