From Willpower to Wisdom
Habits arising from acts of will play an important role in developing a person’s intellectual and spiritual pursuits, as they transform the initial conscious effort into an automated mode, freeing mental energy for higher forms of activity. When a person consciously directs their willpower toward performing actions that initially require significant effort, these actions eventually become habits. Consequently, the energy previously spent on managing volitional processes is released and can be channeled into the development of intellect and the spiritual realm.
