I can not conclude people shall fail to meet their goals. While that might always be a possibility, it makes no sense to conclude it shall be the outcome. 

I cannot embrace that sort of attitude-death-spiral mindset.

I'm thinking, "Where there's a will there's a way."

Also, I'm thinking, "Where there's no way there's no will."

[And who with spark wants to be surrounded by either no will or no way let alone an absence of both?]

I'm thinking, "Will and way are inseparable partners: if we find one of them we know the other must be close by."

Rather than accepting there's no way, I'm keeping my eyes open for will. If it is clear will is not present then the question requiring an answer shall be, "If there's truly no will here then where has will gone?" The answer to that question shall provide a good option...at least one good option. That one good option shall be - tracking will down and discovering its way. 

Regardless, it's just plain wrong to conclude people shall fail to achieve their goals...unless, of course, that thought causes you to bolt for greener pastures. On your greener pastures you are sure to see will finding its way.
