Sunday Adelaja in his book ''[[A Man or a Mouse by Sunday Adelaja|A Man or a Mouse]]'' writes:
{{Cquote|'''The meaning of the word "will" according to Ephraim:'''
*"One of the basic abilities of a person, consisting in the conscious regulation of one's behavior, the management of one's actions.
*Conscious desire to fulfill or achieve the goal; tenacity, perseverance
'''"Will" in the Encyclopedic Dictionary:'''
*Will - ability to choose activities and internal efforts necessary for its implementation.
*A specific act that allows a person to resist the power of spontaneous wants and impulsive desires: for him, it is not the case of "I want" that is of priority, but rather "this is necessary," "It’s a must," creates the awareness of the characteristic value of the goal of his action.
*Will includes decision making, often accompanied by a struggle of motives and its implementation.<ref>''A Man or a Mouse'' by Sunday Adelaja, Chapter 2, Golden Truth Publishing. 2018. Kindle Edition.</ref>}}

Sunday Adelja in his book ''[[A Man or a Mouse by Sunday Adelaja|A Man or a Mouse]]'' also indicates:
{{Cquote|Traditional psychology considers will, as a source of inner activity of a person, independent of external factors. The will is also explained as a person's inner capacity to commit an act, or to a free personal choice. A person commits only the action he decided to accomplish by refraining from others. The main sign of a volitional action is consistency with a certain intellectual plan: the action is not accidental or situational. The will is characterized by meaningfulness - actions are carried out at an appreciable level. In the process of making a strong-willed decision, a person faces the struggle of different internal motives, and if he is not able to suppress immediate situational wants, it then means that he is under the power of his immediate desires. In the performance of willful actions, a person clearly imagines possible positive consequences, which serves as an additional stimulus and helps to combat situational motivations. Thus, the will, as a human quality, is the ability to make a choice and to take the necessary actions to achieve your goal.
The world does not stand still, and we are developing along with it even as new ideas for the realization of our businesses and potentials are emerging. And, in order to end successfully, not to abandon our progress when faced with difficulties, we need the willpower. This includes several stages that are so necessary for achieving any life goal such as:
'''1.''' Awareness and the desire to achieve it
'''2.''' Awareness of a number of opportunities to achieve the goal
'''3.''' The appearance of motives that approve or deny these opportunities
'''4.''' Fighting motives and choices Acceptance of one of the possibilities as a solution
'''5.''' Acceptance of one of the possibilities as a solution
'''6.''' Implementation of the decision.
'''7.''' Overcoming external obstacles to the implementation of the decision and the very achievement of it
Will - as a generator of our inner strength and capabilities and as one of the most complex mental processes - creates in a person certain states: proactivity, concentration, readiness for action, etc.<ref>Adelaja, Sunday.
