Willpower is not about self-denial; it is about opening to flow and intuition. Aligning with nature and intrinsic goals renews willpower, emphasizing the importance of rest and meaning. The concept of wild willpower suggests a return to authentic motivation and resilience, contrasting with traditional views of will as mere grit. Philosophers like Aristotle and Schopenhauer offer insights into will as a living energy, emphasizing the connection to rationality, choice, and primal instincts. Modern research confirms the benefits of pursuing intrinsic goals in fostering a thriving sense of agency and meaning.
Willpower isn't merely a trait of grit or grit, but rather an alignment with flow, intuition, and the natural world, facilitating a deeper connection to resilience.
When willpower aligns with rest, meaning, and intrinsic goals, it results in renewal and authentic motivation, rather than the mere exertion of self-control.
