Day 63: On the Will Being Stronger Than the Skill

Champions aren’t made in gyms, champions are made from something

they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have

last-minute  stamina,  they  have  to  be  a  little  faster,  they  have  to  have  the

skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

—Muhammad Ali

When  you  switch  your  focus  from  instant  gratification  toward  long-

term accomplishment, create a mental image of why you should reject the

instant  rewards  and  keep  going  —  despite  hardships,  failures,  sacrifices,

and lack of compensation.

A  detailed  vision  of  your  wished-for  future  will  fuel  your  resolve,

compensating for any weaknesses you might have or difficulties that might

stand on your way toward success.

For  example,  I  struggled  with  extreme  shyness  as  a  teenager.  I  set  a

goal  to  develop  self-confidence  and  feel  relaxed  in  all  kinds  of  social

settings.  I  was,  and  still  am,  an  introverted  lone  wolf  who  needs  solitude

more than I need other people.

However, my will was strong. I knew I needed to make this change in

order to stop limiting my personal growth, something I found and still find

is one of my most important values. This deep desire kept me going, despite

my personality being extremely unsuited to social settings .

Note that your deep desire doesn’t have to be about you. You’ve surely

heard stories about people performing incredible feats of strength to rescue

a  victim  of  an  accident.  For  example,  in  2013  in  Oregon,  teenage  sisters

Hanna (age 16) and Haylee (age 14) lifted a 3,000-pound (1360 kg) tractor

to save their father, who was pinned underneath it. 

60

The  mechanism  that  supports  such  impossible  actions  still  baffles



scientists.  We  only  know  one  thing  for  sure:  under  normal  circumstances,

Hanna and Haylee wouldn’t be able to lift a tractor. It was their will — their

immense desire to save their father — that gave them superhuman strength.

If you’re struggling with a certain goal, think who could benefit from

you  achieving  it.  How  could  you  improve  somebody’s  life  —  or  perhaps



even save a life — thanks to persevering and accomplishing your objective?
