It's pretty good possible that there are numerous people who can't be motivated because they hate winning. If people don't win, again and again and again than they finally start to hate it to win.

You know I think it's pretty astonishing this forum doesn't have a subforum called Willpower. Willpower and the lack of willpower are keys to succes in life. Even intelligent people without willpower will fail in life. It's one of these things that can really change lifes. The willpower attitude has...

So adapting the idea that quitting is allowing myself to die would associate feelings of never giving up? I am still wondering about self-efficacy as well. And you should keep in mind how these negations work that Jargan means. you say: un-beatable willpower, no quit, un-quitting, these words actua...

But waityou need to know the expectancy part. Here you also find a lot of factors that might influence you, Paul. NLP can contribute in an important way to expactancy because NLP is maybe possible to influence your premisses or believe mind-set about what you think you can do. http://en.wikipedia.or...

From my recollection with talking with those kinds of guys is that they have mastered their subconscious without all the theory and technology behind it. And you (and others here) claim that willpower is not natural. So if they have learned it or understood it, it must be done one way or another. W...

If people only do the fun things, the things that gives the greatest comfort, necessary things things to achieve the goal you set, if people only do that they fail.

There's strong evidence that religion is actually a fallacious way of thinking.

You say you lack motivation. It's important to understand the mechanisms behind motivation. It's also important to understand the mechansims behind STRONG motivation.

It's an interesting subject you're bringing in. My idea is that there is space for developing affirmations to do create more willpower. I wonder if there's a book with NLP patterns which create another strong willpower mind-set ? I have tried to find one online but without any succes. I think for cr...

I know that theory Julius. It's common in therapy circles but it has also a big disadvantage. Actually I'm raised with that idea and I think it works, but there is also another point of view. Using words that give a more committed load to your mind should change one's attitude. In a semantic way you...

People with a mental disorder simply lack willpower. No one in the entire therapy branche seems to really get that. That's kinda thing to be alert at. People act for 4 reasons 1) goal rational (zwecksrationalität ) 2) value rational acting 3) traditional actions 4) affective actions (this theory is ...

My question to you is whether peope can have a hidden value in their mindset or not. Something you're not aware but that makes you do things that twart yourself.

Or wouldn't it be called a value then anymore?

There should be a therapy that teaches persistence.

If someone knows anything please tell.
