What was said
"Here is the big shocker. It was for me that I discovered one does not develop the will. The will never gets developed. It only gets exposed. Discipline gets developed. That's what we mistaken will for. We call it will, willpower, etc. But when a child is born with a problem, when you're facing such a situation, discipline might not be enough."
Portal distinguished between discipline and willpower, claiming willpower is a fixed but hidden capacity that practice reveals rather than builds. He argues modern culture conflates the two, leading people to rely on discipline and motivation rather than accessing their inherent will, which only emerges when facing tasks one genuinely doesn't want to do.
