Will Power

[Ankh]

There are many things I desire to do to better my life.

What kind of things are you talking about? Mind to give some example/s?

Any suggestions on how to increase will power?

I believe that you have your "problem" right here:

I just can't summon enough will power to follow through. My zen attitude of "just do it"only works short term and temporarily at best.

The persistence and consistent will that is thought through is the answer, and then to hold on to the desire and slowly moving through the winds of third density towards it, is the answer, in my understanding/experience. But I don't know exactly what you are meaning to better in your life. For instance how to be persistent in doing dishes every day - that, I have no idea how to do in regards to will power. Some things are important, some others are not. I guess that analyzing the self, and detecting those things that are of importance is the first step. Willing them then to be manifested in the physical, and being persistent in that desire, is something that then becomes almost automatic. This is my understanding/experience anyway. So the only tip that I can give on this subject is to analyze your inner self, and then straight your priorities up, to realize deep within - what is of importance to you, and what not? When you realize these things, there arises almost like a knowing, what your true goal/desire is. It becomes almost like an automatic understanding and acceptance, after you are done with contemplation/meditation/analysis of your self, what you truly desire. Of course there will be distractions, psychic greetings, and whatnot, but when you realize deep within your self, what is of importance for you, nothing will cloud your vision/view, and stand in your way when you move forward on your path, at various pace depending on what is happening.

Good luck!
