Dear ,

What I think this line according to me might refer to the power , refer to that will that lets you to achieve whatever you want to achieve in your life it may be your aim, it could be anything but you wanted to achieve it in your life . Simply the above sentence refers to the willpower of a man when it pleadges for achieving something huge and at that time that is , his will power which lets him to do so . Generally our willpower is not before us on a screen but we might feel it when we get caught in a difficult situation or where you have to put your best for the result , for the better result ... and this is a kind of thing which is not noticeable in everyone , there are some motivators who motivate others and let them to feel their will power, the will power that can let them to do whatever they want, it may be hard and it may be simple. And my views about willpower is that , that it is in every soul but as I mentioned above it is not noticeable in everyone , there might be someone who can put your willpower on your screen and let you to open your eyes and see it.

Talking a lot about willpower , as it is something inside a human soul which is very precious thing , a very precious thing that is priceless. but the most important fact about will power is that that you cannot will what you wills. Yeah this is right you can't will as your willpower is designated from your soul and you cannot controled by your mind that something inside human body with the glue around itself.

Explanation:

Schopenhauer tries to explain that we can actually do what we want, but we cannot choose (or want) what we want, and in this sense we are not free - what we want is determined by our nature or programmed into us.
