Will

If asked the question, how do I measure my will?

Is it based on how I respond or if I remain still?

Is it a result of the intensity of learning a new skill?

Does it reflect my appetite on what I starve or fill?

Or is it reflective of making a mountain out of a molehill?

These metaphors have sparked profound contemplation regarding my personal will. Admittedly, I remain uncertain if it can be precisely quantified, but one thing I am sure of: it is something I can record. As we navigate the complexities of personal will, we often find ourselves grappling with its elusive nature. We question whether it can be objectively measured, whether it resides in the choices we make or the stillness we find. We ponder if it thrives in our hunger for knowledge and the acquisition of new skills. And we reflect on how our desires, whether pursued or neglected, intertwine with our will.

This poem invites us to embark on a journey of introspection, prompting us to ponder the essence of personal will. While it may elude precise quantification, we can undoubtedly capture and document our thoughts and experiences related to it. Journaling serves as an invaluable tool for this purpose. Through the act of writing, we can record our reflections on personal will. We can delve into the depths of our determination, examining the origins of our goals and aspirations. We can document moments when our will was tested, highlighting our unwavering resolve in the face of challenges. By journaling, we gain clarity and reinforce our commitment to pursue our dreams with unwavering dedication.

In embracing our willfulness, we recognize the power of asserting our individuality. Our journal becomes a canvas to celebrate instances where we defied the odds, took risks, and embraced our true selves.Personal will is a force that can be explored and documented through journaling.
