    It might be because you are in a wheelchair. You might be fighting a horrible disease, or maybe your just learning to ride a bike for the first time. Trying t get through college, or stop drinking. How do you strengthen your willpower? This is hard for all of us on different levels.

    You strengthen your will power by pushing yourself. you tell yourself you will not be weak and keep you mind hardened without breaking down. you stay determined. it is all a choice. you can choose to be strong or you can choose to not be strong.

    so how do you strengthen it? well you choose to be strong more often than not. the more you choose to push yourself than the easier it gets.

    it is only hard because people can not push themselves and keep to it. in the end people build a strong willpower because they find the benefits of being strong better than being weak so they choose to be strong always.

    You just want something bad enough. You know all the hard work will pay off in the end.

    There is probably nothing deficient about anyone's will power. The problem is being clear about what one wants.

    Church.

    Willpower is a trick. One does not truly need willpower; one needs the wisdom to engage in activities that are good for the body and soul.

    Its a matter of replacing bad habits with good habits.

    Equip a Mythical Coat in your second inventory slot. Get it from defeating the blue blob just before the castle of Khor. :)

    But yes, I tend to agree with the above posters. Self discipline is a habitual and mostly require repetition to be learned. When it's repeated for long enough it will no longer seem like a chore but a habit.

    (Studying, replacing drinking with another activity.... whatever)

    It like most things is really that simple. Being simple doesn't imply being easy however...

    If the goal is my own and not someone else's I find the will power is easier to find. I also find if it is something I feel positive about I am more likely to meet my own goal or desire.

    Very little is ever accomplished through negative energy, so maybe positive energy is a part of the answer to accomplishing anything. :)
