Will
Will is the ability to direct action in accordance with an intention, decision, or value despite competing impulses and obstacles.
Definition
Will is not a simple mental muscle or a fixed resource that always works the same. It depends on energy, emotions, environment, sense of action, habits and available strategies. In practice, it is worth supporting the will with structure, and not basing your entire life on the tension of self-control.
