day no. 14,998: our character employs our will to accomplish what we want

"Our truest character employs our fiercest will in order to accomplish what we ultimately want most. "“The essential thing is action. Action has three stages: the decision born of thought, the order or preparation for execution,and the execution itself. All three stages are governed by the will. The will is rooted in character, and for the man of action character is of more critical importance than intellect. Intellect without will is worthless, will without intellect is dangerous.” —Hans von Seeckt

Who you are determines what you do. If you don't know who you are, you don't know what you're doing. When a person says that they want to do something, that isn't entirely true unless they make every effort to do it. There are things we wish we wanted to do. But for the most part, we do what we want to do. We give weight to whatever factors ultimately matter most to us and act in accordance.

Our character employs our will to accomplish what we want.

Our truest character employs
our fiercest will to accomplish
our deepest desires

In other words, we do everything we can to do what we want to do more than anything.

Who you are is more important that what you know. A man who knows the right thing to do, but lacks the will to do it is worthless. The man who does whatever he wants without thinking about it is dangerous. 

The man of action must be a good man looking to achieve good ends by good means.

Isaiah 32:8 
He who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands.

Our truest character employs our fiercest will in order to accomplish what we ultimately want most.
