“My own behavior baffles me.

For I find myself doing what I really loathe

but not doing what I really want to do.”

— St. Paul

Ever feel like you don’t have enough willpower to achieve your goals, like losing weight, getting in shape, or starting a side hustle. There are ways to improve your willpower, but that may not be enough. In this article, I will explain the difference between the Low-Road and the High-Road of Willpower so you can accomplish what you want to achieve.

Willpower is Limited

Willpower is an exhaustible resource. We only have so much will each day. When that supply runs out, we often find ourselves doing things we know we should not. For example, you start the day with good intentions to eat healthily, and you do good for the first part of the day, but then you breakdown in the afternoon when your willpower runs out. There are ways to improve the amount of willpower you have. These techniques are what I call the Low Road to Willpower.
