I have heard that willpower is finite and every person starts their day with a limited capacity.

On the other hand there are people like gym goers or sportspersons saying that they can muster up more will power if they have the right mentality at the right time.

I don’t know which one is right, but is it possible to increase one’s capacity for will power ? If so what kind of exercises or training methods do they have to use ?

    I’m pretty sure that the answer is Yes.

    But I’m not so sure if we have a clear definition what will power even is.

    Physicists still refuse to define or explain it. Many of them do not even accept that it is a force to be reckoned with. These rookies! :-)
