Chapter I Base Pair 34

CHAPTER 1.

The Base Pair
Willpower – sustaining energy

"What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists...and it becomes available only when you are in that state of mind in which you know exactly what you want...and are fully determined not to quit until you get it." - Alexander Graham Bell

Willpower is the base pair (see the info –picture) connecting the strands of action and learning. Willpower makes you put your learning into action and learn more when the action needs to be improved.

Willpower is the force that connects your inner desires with external challenges. The parts of willpower are:

• volition; desire containing mental energy
• intention; volition focused and energized with external goals and challenges
• the interchanging alignment varying the balance between volition and intention


Intention and Volition

Willpower is composed of intention and volition. Volition is connected to the inner, maybe even hidden awareness of your life, your dreams and desires.
