Will Power
Find purpose in stressful times
Many people have gone through difficult situations. Looking back, they realize that what they have come to achieve should be impossible, yet the goal was reached and the dream obtained.
The reason why we are able to do the impossible is because of our persistence and stubbornness. Much like how the bumble bee can fly despite the fact that it shouldn’t be able to according to aerodynamics, our hopes and strong will similarly allow us to go beyond ourselves.
The bumble bee is born, believing that it can fly, so it flies. The looming thought that flying wouldn’t be possible was nonexistent in the simple bee’s mind unlike humans, in which in some cases worries prevent us from reaching out of our comforts. With an optimistic outlook, we can do whatever we desire.
Strong will is a necessity. The bumble bee must have a difficult time flying with its bulky, round body. However, it has the will to get in the air, so it succeeds. With great effort on our part, we can also do the same. Despite a load of work and exams, students can overcome and succeed by finding a subject they have a passion for. In brief, if one has a passion to obtain an out-of-reach goal, one may actually grab it.
In the end, we can reach our goals and fly like the bumble bee. With optimism and will, we can reach for the moon and also manage to get the stars. Like what my mother, along with many other parents, says: “We can do anything. Just do it.”
With a straightforward mind with no worries and self criticizing thoughts, we can slowly work our way up and may even earn the prize if only time allowed it to be so. Sadly, numerous individuals in today’s society lack this ethic. They give up when they have the choice to take the harder, but more prospering, route in life and instead decide to depend on the government’s help. Others become so afraid of challenges that they never realize nor recognize their potential to do something great.
