Choice-effort
From Bahai9
All that we potentially possess can be manifested only through our volition
"Know thou that all men have been created in the nature made by God, the Guardian, the Self-Subsisting. Unto each one hath been prescribed a pre-ordained measure, as decreed in God's mighty and guarded Tablets. All that which ye potentially possess can, however, he manifested only as a result of your own volition."
The attainment of any object requires knowledge, volition and action
"The attainment of any object is conditioned upon knowledge, volition and action. Unless these three conditions are forthcoming there is no execution or accomplishment."
- ('Abdu'l-Bahá, Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 157; also in Foundations of World Unity, p. 101)
