Let’s compare will to muscle. Let’s also say that you are a runner intent on competing in the next New York City marathon. You don not rush out, register and simply show up the day of the race. Instead, you practice running, slowly building your strength, stamina and endurance.
The same holds true for mobilizing your resolve. You do not go straight to the moment of truth and hope for the best–especially if you cannot remember when you last exercised your will. You must nurture and fortify your resources through practice, practice, practice.
