Willpower…

I really struggle with this. It is really puzzling to me too… I’m so strong willed yet have no will power for some things. Caramel is my kryptonite. I can pass on chocolate, but add a little bit of buttery creamy goodness and I’m as weak as a wet noodle. It is just not about food though, it is about things that are hard. Struggling to climb over a wall, reaching outside my comfort zone or standing up for myself. That is one of my dirty little secrets… I will fight tooth and nail for one of my friends or loved ones if I think they’ve been treated unfairly but when it is about me I have to be really pushed to stand up for myself. I tend to just try and evaluate it and decide if it is really about me or if it is about them and let it go. Great philosophy, but sometimes we do have to stand up for ourselves or force ourselves through tasks we don’t want to do, especially leadership tasks we encounter like picking up the phone when we have to confront someone, try and push them outside their comfort zone or encourage them to work on something they don’t want to. It is super easy to just to push that task to the bottom of the to do list or avoid it as long as we can. It just comes down to willpower… finding a way to get through those things we don’t want to do or finding the willpower to push through those barriers holding us back or just muscling through giant to do lists that are overwhelming.

I often find myself in that place where I just need a shot of willpower so I went to my oils and whipped up some Willpower. I hope you like it.
