Velleity

Velleity (vuh-LEE-i-tee) is

• volition in its weakest form
• a mere wish, unaccompanied by an effort to obtain it

The word velleity stems from the Latin word "velle" meaning "to be willing".

"I've had heard people with so many wishes, things that they would like to happen and have in their lives yet I have never seen them exert an effort to have these wishes come true. Do they just pray over these wishes and hope they come true? Velleity is like a prayer to me. It doesn't do anything".
