Will

The human spirit has a substantial capacity for hope. Despite all odds, circumstances, or even sound logic, hope drives a being to it's very limits to accomplish its goal. Hope is fuel for a person's willpower, which is consumed with the menial tasks and hard labor of everyday life. Willpower is used to get past the trials and tribulations on the road to one's goal in life, whatever it may be.

Used as a vehicle to transport a human from one stage of his life to the next, will is completely essential. Drivers may change over time: hope, anger, fear, regret, ambition, perseverance, love, etc. Unfortunately, drivers have only so much influence on the integrity of the vehicle, as willpower fades and slows its user down. Fixing it can be a long process, but a speedier one with the support of family and close friends.

Somehow, willpower get's a person to his/her destination, with every person's destination being exponentially farther than the next. The question is: what drives an individual's willpower the most, and is it enough to take him/her to where they want to go?
