It's more the wordless willfulness that precedes any action. When you reach for the cup of coffee, it's intent that initiates and drives the event, from the time you desire a sip of coffee, to the moment the cup is at your lips. Desire fires intent, intent initiates and effects action.
Interestingly, science has disproven this. Brain studies show that action PRECEDES decision.
The results have been repeated innumerable times and are the basis of considerable study currently.
