Battle of my life

[funnyguy]

I'd say ones ability to survive depends on personal power and that if you choose not to have an intent to survive at all you're most likely not going to.

And unbending intent to me is just like saying consistent intent but it sounds more dramatic saying unbending. It's the capacity not to let circumstances, pressure, feelings, thoughts or anything else affect your intent. Having personal power definitely wouldn't be an adversary to your (unbending) intent.
