  3. the power to be able to do what you want. like girl power but everyone has the will to do anything they want. everyone has the right to learn or play a sport or anything.

  5. I do not have the will power to move on from where I am in my life now. I am not strong enough to move on without you and your love for me. I will not be able to ever truly recover from you leaving me when I most needed you. Never.

  6. during the next 3 hours will had to test his willpower. This was what his mother had always told him one day would happen, and this was the day. Will got up out ouff his chair and rain through the door, he did’nt have time to open it so he smashed it with his left shoulder

  7. I already did this word. Are they repeating stuff now? I wish I had the willpower to change the word so it would always be different. Am I using the “willpower” right? I don’t really know what it means, so I’m not entirely sure. I

  8. the wilpower of animals is crazy, ants hve alot of willpower and are one of the toughest animals on the planet, i like how all ants work togeather and create an army like bond, grapes taste good Sidewalk.

  9. Willpower means you are strong. That you were you going and noone will stop you. That you do what ever it takes to get there.

  10. With the upcoming challenge of NaNo being just round the corner, there is a definite requirement for me to have willpower. being able to sustain a certain activity over that amount of time requires an unending flow of this resource.

  11. if there was none, we’d be as leafs on the breeze, at the whim of the wind and the current of life … a sweet surrender that betrays and hides itself as random but really just obeys another’s command …

  12. She slammed the dusty book shut and threw it across the room, “Get out! I’ve told you a million times that there is no more coming together, no more daisy-chains, no more frolicking aimlessly about, because we both know we’re just going to keep crumbling and crumbling, until all that is left are memories of a broken home.”

    “Well done, Jane. Intonation and expression were expertly conveyed. But I’m afraid it’s just not what we’re looking for. There’s always next year. Thank you. Next, please.”

  13. does will requires power to embody its desire? her eyes followed the pandora box departing from a trodden path and walking past the lamp post across the road. the defeated gaze lingers at the house as it is the only thing that a defeated can do.

  14. will rested his eyes on a white unrelenting void as he found himself lost more and more in a white cycle of self-dejection.

  15. One’s willpower to do anything is powered by motivation. Are they not the same thing? Willpower. Motivation. They are nuanced. Motivation, what drives you. Willpower, also what drives you.

  16. Will power is something that really seems to be important int he work place. Finding motivation for tasks you may not care about it can be a challenge. That relates to the feedback Matt gave me yesterday. I come off a disengaged. Its not that I don’t have the will, its just that its hard to stay enthusiastic about tasks that can seem meaningless.

  17. I concentrated on the metal ball on the table in front of me, briefly giving my mentor a nervous look.
    “Go on,” Master said encouragingly. “You can do it.”
    Focusing on the ball, I reached out my hand towards it, and, merely by my own willpower, it lifted off of the table about two feet, wobbling after a second before crashing back down.

  18. Her willpower had failed her, seemingly without conscience. She had given up. “Screw it.” She let go and fell, fell, fell, until she could fall no more.

  19. Hold you back strong
    He will still cut down with sceptre
    With scissor blade
    Hold muscles against the ripping of her hand from yours
    Sky with bring lightning, slick rain
    Will wrench your hand from piano-fingered hand
    The will to stay does not create your fate

  20. What’s funny is I just bought three big old rattling boxes of Wonka candies (Runts, Bottle Caps and Nerds) as a bit of willpower for the homework that I am sure will be stacking up in a matter of weeks. You know, to get me through it. I keep them stacked on my desk as a constant visual to just keep writing, just keep writing.

  21. the willpower to congregate a fleet of army men together;
    to enamour oneself with the headland of contusions that occur
    from the fist pumping out of your lover’s heart;
    that’s willpower!

  22. I decided it was the right amount of disaster and newfound liberty to succumb to my desire, his honey dew lips looked delightful and I ached for a bite.

  23. Not all the willpower of this planet could raise her out of bed this morning. Depression hit with no mercy as soon as she was conscious. The crushing weight anchored her to the mattress. She felt paralyzed, horrified, and helpless. Thoughts creeped into her mind, her coworkers, her friends, her family. She could imagine the sighs as she would tell them why she can’t make it out of the house today. The useless criticisms to shame her out of it.

  24. I use the force with my willpower [=O^O=]

  25. It takes a lot of willpower to overcome a possession, willpower that most people don’t have. It’s even harder after you realize just how difficult it is to squeeze your self until the foreign entity leaves for fear of bursting under the pressure. Fortunately enough for me, you seem to have very little.

  29. I don’t have it most of the time. Sometimes I wish I had the will of those who seem like there is nothing that will ever stop the, > I don’t understand where to find it. Within? Do I need to put an essence of will power inside me? Why don’t I have it. I want it, but not enough.

  35. like a flower that bloomed
    after a series of
    painstaking events,
    after powerful hurricanes
    and countless of being
    picked at

    finally,
    my petals have shown.
    i now have the willpower
    to step forth and reveal
    my true colours.

  36. I flexed my fingers, and if I could have, I would have smiled. They didn’t have the hold over me that they thought; I still had my will. Even as this Demon moved my body through what had once been my life, I could wiggle my fingers, and that’s what mattered. I still had a chance to take my life back. All I had to do was find the way to do it.

  37. Clicking sounds enveloped his apartment as he hastily types his manuscript for submission exactly a day from now. His room reeks of coffee and cigarettes and he’s been awake for 48 hours straight already. There’s this lingering concern that his body might shut down on him anytime. Whatever still keeps him going is not just the caffeine, adrenaline, and perseverance alone, but the willpower to finish everything on time.

  38. It’s not something that comes easy. You can imagine it in your mind; you can picture the finishing line; where you will be once you have pushed yourself to it. But in order to get there, you have to run along the racecourse. And that takes willpower. The journey may be hard, the end may seem invisible, and you may stumble along the way. But embrace your willpower, and you will get there: believe in yourself. You are strong enough to accomplish anything.

  39. Bane of my existence. A finite resource that I am very bad at harnessing or cultivating or growing. Something that could be so very life changing if only I get a hold of it, understand it, and put it to work for me. It’s one of the great sorrows of my life that I can’t get out of my own way and eat better, run more, be kinder – all the things that would make my existence so much more meaningful.

  40. Sometimes it feels like everything just won’t work. Looking at something on a case by case basis can skew your thinking and bring in negative emotions based on fear of the future, that it won’t work out. Willpower is fighting through those negative thoughts and emotions and following through with your plan, no matter what.
