Our minds work just the way we want it to work… we are who we want to be… if our willpower is strong and we decide we won’t indulge ourselves into something we don’t want to, nothing can ever make us do it.. Our willpower and initiative can really move the mountains.
The following story is its biggest example.
King Louis had been taken from his throne and imprisoned. His young son the prince was taken by those who dethroned the king. They thought that in as much as the king’s son was heir to the throne, if they could destroy him morally he would never realize the great and grand destiny that life had bestowed upon him.They took him to a community far away, and there they exposed the lad to every filthy and vile thing that life could offer. They exposed him to foods the richness of which would quickly make him a slave to appetite. They used vile language around him constantly. The exposed him to nude and lusty women. They exposed him to dishonor and distrust. He was surrounded twenty four hours a day by everything that could drag the soul of a man as low as one could slip. For over six months he had his treatment but not once did the young lad buckle under pressure. Finally after intensive temptation, they questioned him. Why had he not submitted himself to these things why had he not partaken? These things would provide pleasure, satisfy his lust, and were desirable; they were all his. The boy said,” I cannot do what you ask for I was born to be a king.”
