Step 2: Develop a sound plan to draw the ability, knowledge, and power of faith of your alliance. Your conviction must increase due to your mastermind alliance.
Step 3: Decide that you have to keep a distance from people who make you feel inferior. A positive mental attitude cannot grow in negative environment. Always remember that our surrounding plays a critical role in building strong willpower.
Step 4: Say clear "No No" to the memories of past bad experiences as we cannot build strong willpower with the baggage of past experiences. Change your mindset and fill your mind with hopes and constructive desires.
Step 5: Do several things to remember your goals like hanging your targets with practical timelines on a noticeboard, hang photos of your targets. I have seen a practical demonstration of this step when I was in Senior Secondary School and one of my friends hanged the photo of one of the premier engineering colleges. He strengthened his willpower with that photo and finally cracked the entrance exam for that institute.
Step 6: Always remember that overinflation of your ego can be very expensive for you. Many people start with very high positivity but fall down in front of the very first obstacle. Always be humble and accept momentary defeats and treat them as mandatory pitstop on the road to success.

There are three qualities that always help you to establish great habits:
1. Plasticity:
Plasticity refers to the characteristic or capability of changing with time. You can relate with the clay which changes its shape as per pressure and holds that shape or mercury which takes the shape of its holding medium. You can change with the environmental impact or with your own decisions.

Any superfluous, worthless or harmful habit can be broken and replaced with a more useful one if you want to do so. Always remember that we want a habit to replace a habit. Increase your willpower with the above-mentioned steps and build desirable habits to invigorate the Law of Cosmic Habit force
