… my will is the most important thing about me, it is me through and through. It is what makes me beautiful, real and authentic. It is what gives life to everything I do, everything I say, all of my actions. Take my will and you have nothing, you have a zombie without soul. You have a carcass of a being, purely obeying instructions, doing as told without any affection, love or interest.
Leave my will alone, call me strong willed if you like, but let me be with my will. Take not my will from me. The strength of my will is the beauty of my being. Crush not my will and expect me to dance for I can no longer hear the music, the rhythm has left me. If I love with my will, don’t ask me to love by your demands, let me love from my depth not from your expectations. You will get your expectations but with no love, for my will is not with it.
Let me work with my will, let me deliver the project with my will engaged. Don’t crush my will and ask me to do a good job. A job I will do, but it will be no good. Without my will there is no good.
Let me be with my will, He that made me gave it to me, that I might shine and be like Him. Let me and my will be!
To be strong willed is to proceed from the depth of being.
