.
Have you ever had an opportunity to obtain a goal, but didn’t have the will to pursue it? What was the goal, and what prevented you from wanting to pursue it or from getting involved with it?
Have you ever observed another person not attain a goal due to their lack of willpower? Who was the person, and what indicated to you their lack of willpower?
“There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.” (John Stuart Mill)

INSIGHTS for SUCCESS
“In the absence of willpower the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless.” Aleister Crowley
Doing what you know you should do, what you need to do, or what you want to do often have a common theme. If you lack the drive, motivation, determination, and courage to do it, then almost certainly you won’t do it. Despite knowing what you should do, you will lack the necessary willpower needed to make something happen, and your good intentions and imaginative plans will have no way to become objectively successful outcomes.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” True enough, but if “there is no will,” it is equally persuasive, “there is no way.”

INTERPRETATION of TODAY’S QUOTE

‘Where there is no will, there is no way.” Thomas Szasz
“Thomas Szasz’s quote highlights the essential role that will or desire plays in achieving goals. Without a strong will, there is no drive, motivation, or determination to push through challenges and find a way to succeed.
The quote also implies that having a strong will is not just about wanting something, but also about being willing to take action and make sacrifices to achieve it. When we lack will, we may find ourselves stuck in inertia, unable to move forward or make progress.
Ultimately, the quote suggests that having a strong will is a prerequisite for success. With will, we can find a way to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals, but without it, we may find ourselves adrift and directionless.” (pi ai)
