Origin
This proverb was stated slightly differently in 1640 ( To him that will, ways are not wanting) but has been repeated in its present form since the early 1800s.
Explanation
If you are determined enough, you can find a way to achieve what you want, even if it is very difficult. If one really wants to do something, one can. All of us wish to achieve many things in life. But usually, many of us do not succeed in achieving anything. And often, we tend to curse our fate or misfortune. But the fact is that we have only ourselves to blame for our failures. It is not enough that we wish to achieve something. We should have the proper will-power to carry out our plans. Without determination we will not be putting in enough strength to make our plans a success. Apart from that, even when the scope of our plan looks rather dull, we will look out for fresh opening for its success. On the other hand, a good plan with enough scope will not succeed if there is lack of will. So what matters is that we have the proper drive or determination to carry on with our plans in the face of obstacles. Will-power is the key to the greatest of achievements. The more we are determined to win, the more we are on the road to success.
