RE: Harnessing Willpower

This piece is truly enlightening, it helped me better understand the difference between willpower and motivation. Motivation is important; it’s often the reason we’re able to start in the first place. But its energy alone isn’t enough to sustain us when things begin to go sideways or when weariness sets in. What keeps us moving forward is the discipline that comes from willpower.

There’s also a clear difference between timidity and humility, which people often misunderstand. Being humble doesn’t mean being timid, the two are very different. Humility is strength under control, while timidity is fear holding you back.
