It’s a funny old word, willpower. It always seems to be associated with weight loss and has many other guises. Drive. Determination. Self-discipline. Self-control. Resolve.
We have to call on willpower in so many areas of our lives, like putting savings away when really we’d like to run amok with our credit card in the sales, not smoking because it’s bad for us, or not taking the car to the shops but walking as a workout instead, because it’s good for the heart and lungs. Even down to being polite to your neighbour who insists on playing loud music every Saturday night, because you can’t face the hassle of a dispute.
