Can I?

From where does will power originate? Can it be learnt? Taught? Bought? Is it in one’s nature or is it something that can be imbibed into oneself?

This subject is bothering me no end. What do you do when you are fighting something so much and somehow things don’t work out the way you want them to? I have often prided myself to be a strong person amidst crises. But now thinking backwards, most of them have been others’ problems and I might have been the support figure only. Maybe I am not strong enough to fight my own battles.

All the encouraging words seem hollow to me and have stopped striking a chord. I know that I need a lot of will power to win my private battles but it’s not to be found anywhere in sight.

I need a glimmer of hope.
