(5) Willpower - Hurdle
In order to clear life’s hurdles, you are best served by being conscientious
and mindful of how to behave effectively in today's ever-changing circumstances.
Vital to this is embracing courageous self-discipline and taking personal responsibility for your choices. Dedicated willpower demands persistent effort as you take each small jump of progress
on the path towards your goals and reap the rewards along the
way.
When you really think about it, much of your life may appear to just happen outside of your control. But when you dig deeper, you
may find that opportunities to make helpful decisions are often missed, buried in a quagmire of monkey-mind chatter and busyness.
There's also a need to understand how your so-called 'free will' choices
have already been primed by everything that's gone before in your life.
Willpower is a trait highlighting your resilience for overcoming any obstacles that bar your path to
wellness. Consider how your willpower informs your daily choices. Are you
shying away from the true issues? Wise decision-making requires you to focus
on realities.
The Hurdle symbolises both
your minor and major obstacles. To overcome minor worries, always put in
peak effort however apparently trivial the choice of one option over another may seem at the time.
In the bigger picture, it is wise to be aware of life’s major hurdles
and plan ahead. This way, when they arise, you can clear them and avoid stalling
by reverting to poor habits which do not ultimately serve your purpose. Self-awareness is called for here.
You are advised to root out subconscious blocks for previously obstructed situations.
Find fresh solutions or possibly set off in an entirely new direction. It
also helps to prime your environment for ease of action.
If you have been struggling with willpower, right now is always the best time to
decide what is and isn't a worthwhile life choice for you. You can identify
pressures and tempting inducements which present barriers to progress. Think of them as high jumps which, once overcome through self-effort, result in the
bliss of achievement and appreciation for life.
Becoming more aware of your inherent 'power' to take responsibility for your
choices where possible, is a key part of healthy development. Owning the 'will'
for em'power'ment is a transformative act. By determinedly combining your ‘will’ and your ‘power’, you have the incredible resource to
leap freely across life’s hurdles and set a good example.
This Rune is a member of The Perseverance Set comprising tenacious qualities for harnessing utmost determination, time and again, to stay on track.
