By not being "of the world." when you say no to sin and evil.
instead of taking the easy road. By giving to others instead of taking from them. By having faith in a faithless world.
Excellent question.
I hope my answer is worthy.

We overcome the world by placing all of our trust in Jesus Christ. By believing in Him, whenever we are tempted to sin in thought or action, we bring our thoughts "captive" and see if they line up with the Word of God. If they don't, then we make a conscious decision to deny our own thoughts and believe what God says. That is how we overcome the world. And, by they way, it takes a lifetime. We all fail, but Jesus Christ overcame the world and we are in Him and He is in us. So it is only by faith in Him that we can overcome the world. For instance, when someone says that God is just a fairy tale, or Jesus Christ isn't really His Son, or whatever, we ask ourselves, "What does the Bible say about that?" Then, we consciously choose to believe what God says. Peace.

You can overcome the world by trusting in Jesus as Savior and Lord - turning over your own selfish desires and sinful nature to Him - that is overcoming - that is overcoming the devil and living for ourselves. Listen - once you come to really know Jesus and have a relationship with Him - you will be saved and that gives us Eternal Life - here on this earth as well as in Heaven. We can have an abundant live here and in the hereafter - Jesus said "I have come that they (you and me) may have life and have it more abundantly." You will never be sorry for becoming a child of Jesus - start reading the book of John in the Holy Bible and find the Real Jesus - He is waiting for you.

This How I Overcome the World!!!
Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, gives thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.
6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.
7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.
8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.
9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.
11. Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
Hokahe!!!

Don't let any one get between you and GOD, I did and it missed my hole life For 30 years I thought a preacher was my friend But that wasn't true, The only thing I can say to you is to, Keep studying your bible,, Fast, and pray Keep your mind allways on GOD, And seek his face, And he will talk to you,And he will answer you

The phrase overcoming the world could mean overcoming the pressure that society puts on us to be like everyone else. Peer pressure if you will. When you decide that you will not live like everyone else, but choose to overcome thoses pressures and follow Jesus Christ, he promises a special place for you, Its called Heaven.
Its easy to fit in, Its not easy to overcome.
Good Luck. You search is indeed laudable,

Live through faith, ask for His will to be done in your life and don't get hung up in worldly things, like money and material possesions. Avoid the temptations of this world...that is how you overcome this world. Make His word your road to follow and don't let the temptations of this world take over your life.

I think it is to overcome our minds.
Separate mind and spirit.
Let our spirit run our lives .Not our minds.Use your mind as a reference book,but live from the spirit .
I'm working at it.
Some people say they just fall into it one day.
