Quote by George A. Sheehan

We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.

We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely...

Summary

This quote suggests that change is not solely driven by willpower, but rather by a stronger desire for something new. It implies that the motivation for change comes from wanting the benefits of a new addiction or a transformed version of oneself, instead of remaining tied to old habits or identity. By highlighting the power of one's desires, the quote suggests that true change occurs when the desire for something different outweighs the attachment to the familiar.
