“Developing will power means application of the mind. Training the mind. Making the mind work in a positive way. It’s achieved slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly. It’s easy to say, “Oh, I’m not made for that. It’s too much for me me. Not everyone can do that.” Such excuses are self-delusion. Without will, we cannot achieve anything.”

-Sri Swami Satchidananda, excerpted from The Golden Present
