Power - Resolve/Determination/Action

I had always been known to be a person of inaction.   Despite brief periods of great motivation, they always follow by long periods of procrastination.

Recently I have managed to lose 10kgs in 8 weeks.  Although I might have another 5kgs to go before I get to my ideal weight, I am no longer overweight.  Apart from the health gains,
I have learnt something very valuable in the past 10 weeks.  I have learnt that you must have your resolve before you can have the determination to carryout actions.

Why are some people so determined to do something?  It is not because they are more disciplined than others, it is because they have found a reason to carryout the action.  For me, it was the realisation of how overweight I was, and the implications if I didn't do anything. The fact that I didn't have a solid goal or target weight didn't mattered.  What kept me going was that I felt a strong reason to lose weight.

Power = your ability to decide, but to unleash the power in you, you must have your resolve!
