Will (Apr. 19)

The will is a very interesting thing. That is of course the human will that seems to propel us into action. On the one hand it is very clear that we each have our own personal will that is unique to each individual and one that to a certain extent thrives on self preservation and personal desire, thus being completely selfish. Often times the will and actual occurance do not mirror each other, even when there are no other individuals to conflict with ones own personal will. One can certainly make the choice to give in to the will of another person and there are particular people out there with a will that would rather some other will tell them what to do, even down to the smallest details. The interaction of wills can be healthy and unhealthy on so many different levels that it seems nearly impossible to figure out how one might want to adjust their own will to a fine balance. While this certainly sounds complex and very detailed as to how the will works and how the will itself is what determines your personality, it really comes down to a very simple fact of making decisions. Each and ever decision you make, even down to the smallest ones are the actions of your will.
