Hi, Steemians!
Ambitions, dreams, goals, career accomplishments, family interactions, healthy diet, mental well-being, and many other things in our life rely heavily on our willpower.
Willpower, or as Friedrich Nietzsche once called it the ‘will to power’, is believed by many to be the one of the main driving forces of mankind in all their endeavors.
Our lives are riddled with small or big unforeseen problems and obstacles.
Not every single one of us can emerge victorious in the face of all these dilemmas. How do we fortify our willpower?

Almost everything in life requires a manifestation of will and the power to go through with it with a clear mind and unwavering determination.
In this blog post, I am going to teach you ways with which you can release pressure from certain areas of your thought and gain your willpower again.
First Approach: Set achievable and small goals!
Now this may come as surprise to many. Instead of telling you to dream big and set your goals and standards high, I am telling you to set the bar low.
But hear me out!
![image4.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbginmrdY6ASEeRxKzTWVNBRJEormH4Hqs4S4qjSrF5k6/image4.jpg)
You are eventually going to achieve your life’s dream, but in order to do that, you must convince yourself to take small or even insignificant steps.
First, create a big picture of your goal, then break it up into smaller parts.
Write down a practical plan that can be as small as a daily to-do-list.
Determine the specifics of your plan.
Remember that this plan has to include achievable goals in your path to the big picture, otherwise it will be pointless.

Second Approach: Self-Control
The ability to control thoughts, emotions, actions, and other behavior when we are faced with impulses and temptation is an important step towards achieving our lifetime goals.
Self-control and willpower go hand in hand on many occasions. In fact, the drive to not stray from the path comes from the willpower to delay or stop gratification or immediate indulgence.
The capacity and strength to resist or override a destructive or negative feeling or thought is something that a lot of us fail to do and that is why our lives fall into misery.
When you hit an obstacle, it is only normal to feel that you are falling apart, and a lot of people tend to act without thinking when they feel scared or stressed. This is why self-control is fundamental.
Stay calm, find the problem, then remove or solve it and always keep your eyes on the ultimate goal.

Third Approach: Small Achievements as a Boost of Self-Confidence
When you set achievable goals and actually complete them, you get a boot of self-confidence, because these small activities are an achievement unto themselves.
Use these short bursts of confidence and power to push yourself on the way or even push past your own expectation to go beyond.
These small victories help turn your steps into leaps as much as you keep building them up. This process works like training a muscle in your body.
Your mind is the same.
You can train it on a daily basis to use these boosts of confidence and willpower to achieve whatever you want.
A BIG HUG!!!

Hello,
Free Will was given to people to decide what they want.
We only have to use our free will wisely and set up our goals reachable.
One step after the other is necessary to achieve our own success.
Daily imaginations of our goals, good plans, hard work and a never give up mentality will help us to make our dreams become reality.
Have a wonderful first May, hope you heard already today is #SPUD , Steem Power Up Day 💝💝
Special thanks to
@nathanmars #Seven77

Dividing the great goal into small subgoals to encompass step by step each one of them is a really effective thinking and action technique. Emotions will always knock hard at the door of your house, wait for it to calm down and attend to the situation without ever losing the final goal. By achieving small goals you are creating an invisible confidence that will grow and grow and will be your shield to overcome obstacles. Will, Determination and Trust . Thank you @chbartist for your interesting reflections.
Dividir la gran meta en pequeñas submetas para ir abarcando paso por paso cada una de ellas es una técnica de pensamiento y acción realmente efectiva. Los emociones siempre golpearan fuerte la puerta de tu casa, espera que se calme y atiende la situación sin perder jamás la meta final. Al ir logrando pequeñas metas se te va creando una confianza invisible que crecerá y crecerá y será tu escudo para superar los obstáculos. Voluntad, determinación y Confianza . Gracias @chbartist por tus interesantes reflexiones.

Dear @chbartist
The path to success in human life is very difficult. The person who is mentally strong can reach his goal. There will be many factors to distract in the path of success, but those whose will power is strong never gets disturbed by these things.
As I remember, many attempts were made to distract you from your goal and mentally disturbed people, but your will power was very strong due to which you did not get distracted by your goal and with all its complacency Answered.
You have a very beautiful message in this post, especially for a new partner who gets mentally disturbed because of not getting anticipated success in a few days. Not only this blockchain but also our will in our personal life and our determination helps us move forward. No work is difficult or impossible, only if we fail to determine our goal according to our own interests.
I fully agree with your point of view that we should set out small goals to reach our goal and move on slowly because success requires constant effort and patience.
Regards

Well said @chbartist I would like to add on this.
Setting small goals to achieve a big one is an important strategy but often people forget another important factor which is to set a deadline on their small goals and when it consumes a lot of time without any deadlines, they end up on that small goals too.

For me the best method that I use to strengthen my will power, is just simply remembering what it felt like to be hungry without a dime in your pocket.
That is one experience from my past I don't ever want to feel again.
Not wanting to be in an helpless and hopeless situation is a great will booster and motivation that works like magic for me.
Cheers

verdad hermano es mejor en ocasiones ir logrando las metas por etapas que todas en un gran tajada porque no todo lo que te propones alcanzar sera tan rápido o fácil de lograr ciertas metas requieren mucho tiempo y paciencia para verlas realizadas tenemos que tener un control y ser cautelosos pero a la vez decididos cuando se puede jugar para el hot run si se puede sacarla del campo pero en ocasiones es mejor un hit o doble que un out no es cuestión de conformismo sino de experiencia antes que decisiones impulsivas.

In my own idea as far as human nature is concern we are get stuck and we need to do extra mile discipline to defeat ourselves. Our own nature is the biggest enemy to achieve success.

Good piece. And allow me to add my own three-step formula:
Hold your head high so that your eyes are never off the goal. In other words, stay focused... and believe in your belief to achieve.
Now, know that even “a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step.” Take that first step.
Now that the journey has started, never look back; nor halt. Do pause for rest, but never stop.
Eventually you’ll be there.
Achievers' secret to success that works in all walks of life.
Good luck all!

I have known people that have just come out of very struggling situations with very low self-confidence and self-esteem. I have myself lived very disappointing experiences that required the application of what you have just explained. My self-confidence has been so low that the only way I found to recover from that has been exactly to establish relatively low goals to my self. After all, in those situations, one of the most important things is to recover the self-confidence above anything else. That is undoubtedly the first step to achieve anything else afterwards. So personally I know that what you say works in a very effective way. Thank for sharing it with us.
