Willpower loves Chocolate

Thanks to it, everything in this world takes place. If you are its master, it will be your carpet to the sky. If you are your slave, you won't even recognize it is there.
It begins from helping us answering your simple biological needs under the name "desire" to fulfilling your wildest dreams under the name "hope". Willpower is your "must have" character.
You do not either know its quantity nor quality nor description. People know it and yet they do not know it. It lives within all of us but with in different levels.
Willpower is the ability to exert one's will over one's actions. It requires sacrificing immediate gratification to achieve future goals.
Research shows that willpower ability is affected by the level of blood sugar in the brain. Restoring glucose levels replenish willpower, and that is why willpower loves chocolate.
I interviewed some Egyptian youth to know their perspective about willpower. Starting with Y.E. 23 (initials of real names are mentioned), she described will power as "being persistent enough to do what I have to do to reach my goal." Giving example of a willpower victory in her life, she started by saying that she had a flat which she needed to rent before getting married. She had a time limit because her wedding ceremony was only five months to go and no way she could get married without the flat being rent.
She continued listing what she exactly did to reach her goal, "first, I conducted a list of the brokers. I contacted each of them. I gave them my flat details. Most of them told me that the place of my flat makes it very difficult to rent. However I was persistent and remained going with brokers and clients to the flat for five months till I was able to rent it with a good amount of money. Thanks God, I'm getting married."
Moving to A.F. 28, she says that her emotions towards food, friends and love are her willpower pulls down because simply they bring her happiness.
However, she thinks that her willpower success came when, "I got divorced, aiming a better future and sacrificing a current stable but an unsecure life," she said.
When I asked M. R. 21, he did not recognize any experiences related to his willpower. After repeating the question and waiting for a while, he said he wanted to have summer training since his first semester at college but now he is a graduating senior, yet he has not started the training. "None of my parents or my friends had encouraged me, so I forgot about the issue," he explained.
Y.M. 23, said proudly, "I lost 14 kilos in three months only because my boyfriend wanted me to."
N.E's, 25 experience emphasizes that faith strengths willpower. "In spite being the person who frightens from the dark. I insisted on praying the fagr prayer regularly. I woke up every night before the sun rise. All my family used to be sleeping at that time. I was afraid to wake up alone but yet I did. Now each of them prays fagr regularly with me.
According to the above youth experiences, willpower roots from competence, self fulfillment, faith and the desire to succeed.
Egyptian youth use their power in reaching only their personal goals. Where are the national projects? Why does not the youth best utilize their willpower on national goals?
"National stressors such as unemployment, economical problems in addition to lack of patriotism bring willpower free generation," said Dr. Heba Khattab psycho therapist describing the current situation of Egyptian youth.
Khattab explains the individuality attitude of the youth as a result of the above national problems. People start to think as individuals and forget all about the national feelings.
The government, businessmen and the youth themselves are the willpower boosters of today's youth.
Egyptian youth has a rich potential but the government is not using it nor organizing national programs to utilize it, "with a society where 44 percent of the citizens are youth, the government should better use its energy," Khattab elaborated giving china as an example of how the energy of people used has changed the destinies of millions of people.
Businessmen are entitled to think more of the benefit of the whole country and the long term cultivation not just the take and run strategy. "Organizing challenging projects and opening new job opportunities for youth is currently the duty of each Egyptian businessman," khattab asserted.
Regarding the youth role, khatab stressed that they should stop hanging their misdeeds on circumstances. They should set achievable goals, take the decision to be successful and to be able to endure slow success and failure.
I intended to ask Khattab one last question which am sure is nagging all of you, "does our emotions affect our willpower?" khattab nodded saying "sure emotions have an enormous effect on willpower, when someone is feeling low or stressed he could not have the same strength of willpower he poses in similar situations."
Dream the wildest dreams and keep your blood filled with a reasonable amount of sugar by eating chocolates or seasonal fruits. That depends on your current weight and your willpower.
