Developing Personal
Force
Components of Personal Force
Personal Force is comprised of three individual forces--
will, awareness, and conviction--that work in harmony and create
a resultant single force.
Will: Being determined
to accomplish your goal
Will is the most basic life force because it is derived from the
will to survive. To move beyond merely surviving life, one must
be determined, intentional and self-disciplined to thrive and
flourish. Each time we direct our mind to a purpose, we develop
and strengthen our will.
Awareness: Being
alert to success factors
Awareness is being conscious, alert, and mindful of our surroundings.
Each time we focus and concentrate our attention, we exercise
our awareness. All education, skill acquisition and performance
enhancement is based upon one’s efforts to control and
direct attention, thereby developing the force of awareness.
Individuals who have achieved exceptional results, particularly
in sports performance, have keen awareness. Many of baseball’s
greatest hitters can see the spin on a ball just after it leaves
the pitcher’s hands, and know exactly how to hit the ball
to achieve their objectives.
Conviction: Being
sure that you can succeed
Conviction is a kind of belief derived from being convinced; however,
it involves much more than our simple understanding of belief.
Conviction is really a kind of inner knowing that allows you
to know and to know that you know. Knowing that you know is important
and implies self-confidence and certainty about your ability
to produce results. The power of belief is the force of conviction
and makes things happen. Integrating Personal Force
