Set a goal and work as hard as you can just to reach that goal. If you feel you're not motivated enough just force yourself, the will will definitely come. It's better to force yourself one day than regretting not doing anything the next one

Experiencing mind-crushing hardships, which you then overcome.

this is unironically the most effective/likely only real way. Nothing motivates like loss and pain

If you need to ask, you won't. The thing is, you can't always run on willpower. Do you know why discipline is key in the army? There's fuck all else to do.
The same with the gym. You might be too lazy to do 20 pushups every morning, but go to the gym and you'll do them, because you're already at the gym, there's fuck all else to do there but work out.

This.
Virtue is 10% willpower, 90% temptation avoidance.
Read Augustine instead of listening to some roidhead podcast, faggits.

>10% willpower
that jumps substantially when you leave the house user. I'd love to sit in my room all day and avoid temptation, but it's not realistic.

But user, there's more temptation at my house than anywhere else

then your test of willpower is even greater

>your fucking room
What the fuck dude staying in your room is tentation for laziness.
Go to your fucking job. Then go to the gym. Then go socialize some place.

congrats, you've just exposed yourself to even more temptation - the world is filled with temptation by design. This was the point of the first post, virtue is not just 10% willpower, its far more than that - there is no such thing as temptation avoidance. You can resist temptation, but that is just another measure of willpower

This is where the 10% comes in. You're in a bar, because that's the easiest place to socialize? Buy a soda or cranberry juice. You're next to a KFC? Walk past it and to the salad bar. That hot but slutty secretary craves your dick, but you're married? Jerk off in the bathroom instead.

sounds like all that willpower is more than 10% tho. You can't avoid temptation 90% of the time, but you can resist it 90% of the time. That's willpower

>90% temptation avoidance

based fucking monk poster

Sometimes it's about facing temptations and resisting them though. I've recently quit drinking after a month-long relapse in an almost decade-long sobriety streak. Now I go to bars and drink lemonade.
Friends keep trying to jokingly get me to drink, and it's fucking hard not to.

Get in touch with God, your version of god, Mother Nature, like whatever spiritual thing that works for you.

Better than self will imho.

you aren't the main character of some anime, a mind crushing sadness will harm you possibly forever and you should avoid catastrophe at all costs

I got insane willpower from the hardship of losing my job, getting another one that was so shitty it motivated me to start my own business. I created good times in less than two years because I wanted to do anything to escape my situation. 4 years later, I'm living comfortably and I've been living well so long that I'm losing the edge that made me disciplined in the first place.
The hard part is staying motivated once you've already "made it" and not growing complacent. This is the real battle for me and don't really know the answer other than visualizing where I'd be if I stopped working hard.

When people have behavioral disorders, psychologists look first for traumatic experiences in the person's past.

I honestly tried that. Peterson shilled christianity and I started reading the bible. Sometimes there were good things, but often enough beta shit like "when mohammed rapes your wife, offer him your daughter, too". And I have problems believing jesus in god, altough i am not an atheist. I just cant find the believe
