Craving and Willpower.

           In life, without doubt everyone has an extreme desire to succeed. In one way or the other we want to be the best at some or the other field. Without doubt there is a great difference between the desire to succeed and to actually succeed.

         As I was sitting and sipping my coffee, I once again wondered what actually stopped the desire to convert itself into the success that we always want.

 

         When we make up our mind to do something or be something, there would be a strong power inside, which will drive us towards the path.

          As and when the time passes, the strong power obviously fades, how would it fade would be the question? I feel it’s because of the thing called ‘craving’ that creeps in different forms. Which blocks the view of our actual goal.

Craving often comes as a slow poison, where in we wouldn’t even notice its effect of poisoning us.

            In my case I feel craving have come in form of movies and TV shows, instead of studying for a serious exam ahead this craving is blocking the path.

            Craving can be in almost all forms, which would often be the contradictory path of your goal. Craving may come in the form of deep desire to eat chats or chocolates and sweets or some unhealthy stuff when you would be having a goal to maintain a fit body.

           Sometimes craving may be to sleep for a longer duration than to wake up at decent time and start your important work if not to do the extra meditation or yoga!

          Craving may also be to play candy crush or clash of clans rather than go out and play badminton or table tennis which would be actually healthier to you physically.

           The appropriate term to be said would be ‘Procrastination’, for almost all, at maximum number of times, the powerful desire for doing something contradictory to their goal always arises.

           Why? Because fulfilling their craving gives them the instant pleasure needed, but sadly it would not last long as expected.

         The moment when we make our mind and actually start to kick out our craving, the moment when we give more respect and heed to our will power, is the moment when our life would start to be positively awesome.

Of course nothing is easy to get rid off!

             It would take long time for will power to conquer the craving. But nothing is impossible. I would like to quote a line from the movie Bangalore days here which would relate to this article, 

‘The only thing that stands between who you are and who you want to be is………‘YOU’’ 

It would only be you who can set the things right and make your own life awesome.
