Doctor Kelly McGonigal is not a philosopher, but a psychologist. Still her view of willpower can still be useful to look at.
'Kelly McGonigal defines willpower as "the ability to do what you really want to do when part of you really doesn’t want to do it." It consists of three competing elements: 1) I will – the ability to do what you need to do; 2) I won’t – the other side of self-control; the inability to resist temptation; and 3) I want – your true want, the ability to remember the big picture of your life.' (Wikipedia)
