What are your thoughts on "When you want to change, strategies are more helpful than will power.?
I find this true in every aspect, whether it is about our personal lives or about our career, or even in the work place scenarios.
When we consider our careers, everyone of us do want to make a move to another career or another work place at some point. However, unable to have a clear plan or a step by step approach as to what needs to be done on a consistent basis in order to succeed the chosen path.
Most of us has the will power, however we will not be successful if we do not have a clear strategy to follow our dream.

yes, I see in your point in that aspect. I too agree that there should be a will power in the first place for you to even thinking of a change. My point is that, whilst you need to have a will power, you definitely should have a clear cut strategy as well.Karissa Schilling wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 10:29 I'm not quite sure what to think of this idea. Sure, strategy is a necessary part of change, but if you lack the will power to change no strategy will be effective. As someone with MDD, I struggle with will power all the time, so just having a strategy isn't always going to work, especially since forming that initial strategy takes some level of will power. I think a combination of both is what yields change, not either of these concepts solely.

Conversely if you're having the will power and no plan then how's that gonna help you?
If one is making a big decision such as changing jobs then one needs a plan of action, see all the possibilities, needs to gather up some courage, and also be willing to do that. It helps to know what next and also that you can do it.

You won't be able to make any meaningful change if you don't first plan and or map out a path towards the end goal. That is not to say your will power is unimportant. Rather, strategies give your will power fuel to ride.

I completely agree with you.Kavita Shah wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 12:53 Interesting question. A plan executed without will power, hmm...if you're not willing to do it then how did you mange to do it.

Will alone cannot make a change and neither can strategy.
Both are equally important. Willpower isn't gonna change the world alone but with a through strategy one can definitely make healthy changes. Considered that after strategizing, action is taken.
