Inspiration and Counsel From Paramahansa Yogananda
Will is the switch that controls everything in this universe. If you don't exercise your will power, you will be a weakling, easily influenced by your environment.... When you develop will, no matter how you are pounded down by life, you will rise again and say, "I am successful. I can win."
Choose a good, wholesome, constructive goal and then determine that you are going to achieve it. No matter how many times you fail, keep on trying. No matter what happens, if you have unalterably resolved, "The earth may be shattered, but I will keep on doing the best I can," you are using dynamic will, and you will succeed. That dynamic will is what makes one man rich and another man strong and another man a saint.
The greatest will should be used to meditate. The Lord wants us to discover our divine will and use it to find Him. Develop this God-seeking dynamic will. It is not profound words that will give you emancipation, but your own efforts through meditation....
