Explanation:

To fill in the blank no. 2 in the passage, let's go through the options:

- Option 1: "in" – This does not fit well as it would imply something is located inside "ourselves" which is not what the passage is trying to express.

- Option 2: "with" – This suggests having something "with" ourselves and can make sense, but is less commonly phrased this way in English.

- Option 3: "without" – This doesn’t fit well, as it opposes the idea of having something that gives us willpower.

- Option 4: "within" – This makes the best sense, implying an intrinsic quality or drive "within" ourselves that motivates us to achieve more.

Hence, "within" is the most appropriate option as it conveys having an internal drive.
