It comes down to willpower.

*MY* definition of willpower is: Finally "having enough of this" and achieving a level of motivation to do what you know needs to be done to achieve the goal. Whatever that goal is.

When I'm really tired of being fat, I'll finally get up and do something about it. When a person is being abused, they will take it until they have "had enough." No amount of talking or coaxing is going to make them change their life until they reach the point at where they have "had enough." It is at that moment you achieve the willpower to change your situation.

It goes for eating, drinking, drugs, your career, your relationships, exercise, everything in your life hinges on this basic concept.

The question then becomes: have you "had enough" yet?
