You're right. Wanting and willing are indeed far apart. That's because wanting is the domain of the conscious mind while willing is usually within the province of the unconscious. Most overweight people want to be thin and know how to be thin (in fact, many of them have read more "weight loss books" than have many thin people have). Yet they can't motivate themselves to implement the steps that would enable them to do so. The solution is to use processes that by-pass the consious and do change work at the unconscious level.


Many players who have conscious understanding of standard deviation and the role that short term luck plays on they're short term results nevertheless go on tilt. Why? Because they are unconscious of the positive intentions that their tilt behaviors are trying to accomplish for them. Once they've become conscious of those positive intentions and have given the part of them, that was responsible for those tilt behaviors, more choices by which to achieve those positive intentions in a non-destructive manner, then they will tilt much less often.
