Willpower is a Muscle

How can you train your willpower?

The best way to improve willpower is to reduce the amount of occurrences you will need to resist or fight what you do not want. The best way to reduce the stress and effort attached to exerting willpower is simply to set yourself up from the beginning with success. You do this by programming your subconscious mind away from having to resist and exert willpower to not wanting those things anymore. How will you convince your mind you do not want those things anymore? By providing an alternative choice of what you do want—something better. Then it's less about saying no and more about saying yes to the other opportunity every time you do have to say no. Will is another mental faculty you once had mastered; through conditioning you were worn down and became used to falling in line and following along. Have you ever witnessed the will of a two-year-old? Yes, they know what they want and they are going to get it. They are not caving due to anyone else's behavior. They will WILL it to happen—WILL it to become theirs—or WILL it that it ends up in their mouth (lol).

Humans WILL make all the difference between “Action” and “Inaction.” A person with a strong WILL is always going to make the difference as compared to the one who has all the resources but no WILL. The person with a strong WILL always believes in resourcefulness and keeps looking for ways to make the best use of all the resources they have (no matter how less they are). Human WILL is always backed with a strong reason for going on, no matter what. If you have a strong WHY to do something, then you are going to do it. This inner WHY is what makes all of you strengthen your WILL. Do you have a strong WHY to what you are doing? If not, then it is the right time to ask this question to yourself, and then all your “Wishes” will be converted into a strong “Will.”

Will should be reserved for yourself. What do I mean by this? 

Considering you have a limited amount of willpower every day,  chasing or dragging anyone with you depletes yourself unnecessarily. I am sure it is easy for you to think of an example in your household or within a relationship—nagging your man or chasing your children to do something you have already requested ten times. Sound familiar? How tired are you after those incidents? Probably mentally exhausted. And then you have no willpower to push yourself to the things you want to do.

You have used up all of your resources for that day pushing others—and likely not getting the results you wanted. Let me give you an example in a workplace: I once hired a personal assistant—and I was busy—so I never really noticed she wasn't saving me any time until she quit. How is this possible? At first when she quit, I was so nervous. I thought, FUCK, how am I going to do it all without her? She had been with me for so long, it would take forever to train someone on the ins and outs of my bizarre and multi-layered life and empire at the time. One minute she was negotiating glassware in China and the next she was organizing open house signs for my real estate team. It's wild, and who could fit these shoes? I thought. HOW WRONG I WAS. I didn't need anyone. By the end of the first week I realized I was now saving time! Crazy, but true. I never realized how much time I spent deciding what my personal assistant would do, requesting her to do it, and then having to follow up five times. It was exhausting but I never noticed until she was gone. My energy levels during the day sky rocketed, I got twice as much done not having to check in with or check up on another human. Wattles says, “Any will you project onto others will defeat your purpose, Use your will to keep your mind at home.” Use your will to chase down what you want—do not waste it on others; it is a limited resource in the Game and has to regenerate when used.

To be successful you only need to use your willpower on yourself; when you know what to think and do, then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things. That is the legitimate use of the will—holding yourself to the right course, Use your will to keep yourself thinking and acting in a certain way. Do not try to project your will or your thoughts or your mind out into space to act on things or people. Keep your mind at home—it can accomplish more there than elsewhere.
