What makes a thesis statement strong instead of just a summary?

I struggled with thesis statements for a long time because I thought they only needed to explain what my essay was about. Later I realized a good thesis should actually guide the entire argument and show the direction of the paper. Now I spend more time testing my main idea before writing the rest of the essay. I found helpful advice through https://essaypay.com/blog/how-to-write-a-good-thesis-statement/ and it changed the way I approach introductions. A clear thesis saves time because every paragraph has a stronger purpose from the start.
