ABSOLUTE ASCENDANCY

Commencing operation . . .

Overview

Life is cyclical. Like the changing of seasons, so too does your disposition fluctuate. There will be many times in your life where you will have to press onward, despite suffering from an undesirable mental state.

I just don’t feel like it. Maybe tomorrow.

That will not cut the cake when it is crunch time. You need to develop a weapon you can use to overcome trying circumstances where the odds are stacked against you.

That weapon is willpower

How to cultivate Willpower

You must first accumulate a burning desire for excellence. It will serve as fuel for your willpower. Without this desire, your willpower will not be able to hold during adverse situations. Whatever it is you are aiming for, you must want it bad enough to get it no matter what.

Once your desire blazes brightly, you can forge your willpower. Understand that your willpower is akin to a muscle.

Regular use will strengthen it, but overuse will weaken it. 

What this means is, you should take action every single day to fortify your will. You need not take massive action but do something small each day, which contributes towards building and maintain your willpower.

Committing to regular exercise is a great way to develop willpower. As a martial artist, I can say that practising martial arts has enforced a high standard of discipline.

Also realise that because willpower exists solely in the mind, it can be amplified by how strongly you believe in your abilities. If you believe your will is strong, then it will not yield as quickly if you think your will is weak.  

Conclusion

Forge an iron will and have at your command an unstoppable force! Self-discipline is the only way to preserve and fight for what is truly worthwhile.
