Will power is a human potential that is worth developing.
With will your consciousness is making firm choices and putting your will into action further empower your act of consciousness.
Will is the action of your consciousness by making choices.
That is why one needs to learn about choosing.
It is simple, but may not be easy.
With will your consciousness is making a choice and heading towards its goal.
Consistent will will enable you to manifest the reality that you desire.
Having will power is very useful in dealing with yourself,
which is controlling your own emotions and mind,
instead of being controlled by them.
Weak people are easily swayed by outer stimulus,
For example people who are over sensitive (having low emotional quotient)
can become extremely unease and tensed when someone just call them “stupid” or “useless”
(It is obvious that emotionally strong people would not let themselves being controlled by anger just because of some petty labels)
Some people even commit suicide just because their inner voice and emotions have controlled them. That is very sad.
Therefore we need to develop our will power to control ourselves well.
We need will power to be able to make choices and control our own reality.
(Remember, choices should be made by your consciousness (will), not your inner voice nor your emotions)
Choose to develop your will power to control your emotions and mind.
Whenever your emotions and inner voices are trying to influence you, choose firmly not to succumb to them. You are the master of yourself, not your mind nor emotions.
With consistent will, you will gradually develop your will power and your emotions and mind will have less influence over you. You should control them, instead of being controlled by them
There are ways to develop will power and I shall blog about it in my future post.
Life is about making choices. 
Make them well.
agree…
that’s y the best thing to say every morning when a person looks into the mirror is “i am beautiful”

Imagination and will power are never in conflict. Beliefs may conflict, but imagination will always follow your will power, conscious thoughts and beliefs.
If you are overweight, you might pledge, “I am overweight, so I will think of myself at my ideal weight”. But you still find you overeat and in your mind’s eye you see yourself overweight, imagine the good food and give in to the imagination and you think that will power is useless and conscious thought powerless.
Examining your beliefs further, in a hypothetical case there might be innumerable beliefs; like being an unworthy person and hence should not look attractive; health means physical weight and its is dangerous to be slim or you need the weight so that people will think twice to shove you around.
In all these conscious ideas which you have entertained them often; your imagination and emotions are in league with them and not in conflict.

I was just going to post about Imagination on my next post but you have already mentioned it. You think similar like me multidimid.
Will, Imagination and Emotion go hand in hand togather in creating reality…

The idea of choice and willpower is really behind what we call egoism and egocentrism.
People who do a lot of self-improvement eventually will realize that this leads only to pride, ambition, frustration, depression, obsessions, addiction, agression, and even to insanity and even suicide, if the circumstances become too much to bear for the ego. People who are on their way to become enlightened go thru the process of losing their egos and even their willpower to be replaced with something greater, and more fulfilling than selfish ambition and vanity.
Even the most worldly-successful people eventually come to this conclusion. Many of them are very unhappy about their lives and circumstances and would do anything to become
enlightened.

haha. We will see about that. being egoistic or not is a personal choice, but “they” want to plant the belief that free will is evil so that they will gain better control over the people.
Finally, it is your choice of choosing your reality and belief.

Well, you really don’t have much choice anyway.
In fact you are already egoistic and to choose not to be egoistic would mean to be in conflict with yourself. Be egoistic; you can’t help it. To realize that you are is a step towards enlightenment. Follow your ambition (if that is what is your heart is telling you) but watch yourself.

unless you can read my mind, how do you know I am egoistic?
Comment by Life Feel — January 8, 2006 @ 11:43 pm
Yes I can read your blogs and therefore your mind. However, the word ego-istic is not meant
to put you down. I am an ego entity and therefore I am ego-istic. I am my ego. I am not God. I am not everything. If I were, then God or everything is my ego. I am what I think I am. And that makes me ego-istic. I can’t be otherwise.

assumptions….
we are the extensions, or fractals of the whole consciousness aka God
You choose what you want to be and the reality you want, including the choice of not having free will and choices (which means you give up your free will)
Egoistic, happy, angry are just states of BEING. You choose to be. and let’s say I AM egoistic, does that mean I am rigid the whole life? (rigid mentality). The moment I choose to be in another state (happiness, or sad) I switch to the state I choose.
If you choose to be ego-istic, or choose to believe that you read my mind… well, it is your choice

Assumptions…
The I or ego is made up of thoughts and nothing else. Thoughts, the knowledge, the experiences, the memories, the beliefs, the ideas, the opinions, the assumptions, and habits and even the desires and ambitions are nothing but thoughts. Without them you are empty and without choice. You won’t even know who you are. You are an organic machine and thoughts are the programs that are running in the brain or brains. Society wrote and is re-writing the programs. You are the programs, and the programs are making the choices and decisions for you. And you call that intelligent or smart! You don’t even know how they are made. If you do, you will realize you are just a stupid machine.

will is beyond inner chatter.
memes, words, belief system are far from one true self.
Yes it is true that many people have give up their free will and let people make decisions for them.
It is their choice, sadly.
egos reduces one awareness.
it is just the “skin” of a person. Some indulge themselves daily in their inner chatter and ego, some let themselves doing what others do.
The ones who are for love and consciousness appreciate the value of free will.

Lofty thoughts! There is no true self. There is only everything. There is no false self either. The self is just an illusion but it exist. It is just an idea. What you see is what you get.
