Q : How to develop determination?

      

A : How to develop determination? How to strengthen the will? Only by repeated use of the will. You determine to wake up at five in the morning; something in you wakes you up. If you get up, the will goes up one notch. Next day again, one notch. In no time at all, nothing can stop you from getting up._
