Will

Sometimes you need to do what you've said you're going to do, even if it's a bit half arsed because it's important for one's sense of will, the sense that if you say something is going to happen, then it happens. Hence doing my blog with, now, minutes to spare to keep my commitment to every day for a month.

I had an arm wrestle the other night, not something i usually do, but it reminded me how much it's really all that much about your muscles, it's more about your will. I lost only one contest, and that was because my focus, my willpower, faltered. I got distracted for a second. The other's i stayed totally focussed on, there was no doubt in my mind that i could, and would, win. It is easy to lose before you've even begun. Harder to win before you've even begun.

If only love was as easy as arm wrestling.
