Can we increase our willpower? Yes! Willpower and it's close friends; discipline and self-control, are like any muscle in the body.

Odds are you have a daily to-do list. Nearly everyone on the planet does. How are you at accomplishing your to-do tasks? Do you get most or all of them done? What about the higher priority items?

There are biblical differences between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. In fact, the Bible has a lot to say about our minds and the types of mindset people have.
