I know that the words willpower and power may seem like the same to many people, but believe me, they are worlds apart. While your power helps you physically to get useful work done with time. Thus, the formula for power in physics is work divided by time. Willpower is very different because it comes from the mind.

So you see, power is physical, while willpower is mental. I'd say that if we were living in the stone age, then you'll probably be wealthier if you had more power. Because, you'll simply fight people and take over their properties physically with sticks, stones and swords. But the information age is different. In the information age that we've found ourselves, we require more mental power to get ahead. You can literally make so much money in your living room using your smart device depending on what you're good at.

All you really need now is to be smart as an individual, and tech inclined. Meaning that you have to always be learning new innovations in your field constantly. But here's the thing, you need a balance of your willpower and power. People underestimate the amount of power you need to be smart mentally. Also, you'll be needing to understand that you can't sit down with your smart device all day. You also need to get physical by taking a walk a times.

You also need to take out time to be working out; simply because at a new age like this, when mental efforts are more highly paid for than physical efforts - it becomes easy to get caught in the mental world and neglect your body. But it's more like a balance between your body and mind. You need both. Your body and your mind should compliment each other. Hence, you should stay fit to keep your power alright, and stay mental by using your imagination.

Fundamentally, you increase your willpower by - completing what you start. The little things matter, for example doing the dishes before going to bed, or waking up and dressing your bed. Every little chance you have to say no to little temptations, say no - this way you build your willpower. Also note, you always like to do the things you love. Hence, creatively think of ways to link your work with what you love - and you'll tend to have the willpower to get things done.

Hi @greatideas
What we understand as power has been changing over time, that is undeniable. Even, now not only enough of money to say that someone has power. It seems that managing information often makes you more powerful than money itself.
An interesting topic you have shared. Regards.

Learning how to manage information is a very powerful skill in this information era we live in today. Thanks for commenting.

People underestimate the amount of mental strength required to be successful. WE'll also need to accept the fact that we won't be able to spend all day with our smart device.

Sleeping well is a great way to generate more willpower and mental strength to accomplish much. Thanks for commenting.

Hello friend, interesting publication, they are certainly two different things, the power of can manifest in different ways while the willpower remains the same. I think that the latter is a little more complicated to carry, for many people it is not easy to establish routines and make changes but it really is something that benefits us a lot. Greetings.

Routines can be very useful. Thanks for commenting.
