A Power that Can Move

Mountains

When there is strong will power, nothing can stand before it,
neither habit nor addiction nor anything else.

am Kapoor (b. 1973) is an Indian television actor
Rabout whom The Delhi Times published an interview
on March 29, 2015. In the interview he says, “After 20
years of smoking I quit it overnight. From 40 cigarettes
to zero, only because my daughter said to me, ‘Dada,
you want to die. You want to leave me.’ It has been one
year, three months since I stopped smoking.”
Ram Kapoor was addicted to smoking and under
normal circumstances it was not possible for him to
overcome his addiction. But one sentence from his
beloved daughter had shaken him and a strong will
power emerged in him. And when there is strong will
power, nothing can stand before it, neither habit nor
addiction nor anything else.

Often people say that they cannot give up a habit.
For example, they say, I cannot stop being angry, or I
cannot prevent myself from becoming tense, or I cannot
stop hating others, or I cannot agree to humble myself
before another, and so on.
