FOUR STEPS TO INCREASE YOUR WILLPOWER

Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job.  Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.
(1 Peter 4:12-13 From The Message Bible)

Have you ever noticed that whenever we perceive even a little step in the wrong direction, it becomes the end of the world? Such thinking cannot yield good results. You'll be surprised to learn that there are four steps you have to take when looking forward to increasing your willpower. Also Know this!  All the hardships, all the constants forward trudging: it's all real. As long as you keep acting positively, you can be sure to achieve anything you put your mind to. In short, give up, quit and can't these words should never exist in your vocabulary.
Four Steps to Increase your Willpower

1. Keep Trying
   No matter how long it takes and how beaten you may feel; you keep trying. You'll never know how much you can handle if you don't put your limits to the test. The very act of trying itself increases your willpower because it instills in your mind that you can do it; that you can succeed.
2. Eliminate negative influences
   You are not the first one to be criticized. People de-constructively criticize what they do not understand. There is no way a negative influence has ever made a person successful (except in defiance of that said influence). Listen only to constructive criticism that helps you learn and grow as a person
3. Seek out those who you resonate with.
   You may think you have achieved great willpower, but nothing can push it ever higher than surrounding yourself with those who are similar to you. In times of sheer doubt, they can fish you out of your pit of despair. When you achieve the little goals, they will revel with you in your glory. When they are down for the count, it will be your job to push them back up. What you can accomplish alone will be amplified when you put great minds together. To have someone always there to drive you forward makes you feel as if you've promised them to endure what lies ahead
4. Realize defeat, and never accept it.
   Those who know defeat are the ones that have the most willpower. Even when it seems as if you are making no headway, stop and think about how far you've come. The effort you put in beforehand has made you who you are now. Learn from your defeats, and acts immediately afterwards to redeem yourself.
