There comes a point when that which allowed us to vacillate, does not make room for a certain level of indecisiveness anymore. When that which seemed rather “firm” does not hold up to what we believed it to be, especially in comparison to the norm. When dabbling in the mindsets and mannerisms of society, the …
True or false: “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!” It’s something we’ve all heard and possibly even said a time or two. This phrase is loaded with willpower isn’t it? But really, when it comes to willpower, which comes first? It has to be either will or power. Whenever …
