Determination goes very well together with
discipline. Determination is deciding that something
is a fact, or that you are firm about your position.
When you are determined to achieve something, you
will do whatever it takes to achieve that result. It is a
force of your mind that becomes evident, that will
not take no for an answer. In your mind and your
heart you have determined that there is an answer
or solution and that you will discover it.
When you have determination, you push
beyond resistance in your mind, which says you can’t
do something, and you find a way to do and do it well.
With that same determination, you push yourself
physically beyond your comfort level, to new
heights of success. You have determined in your
mind the end outcome and until you have achieved that,
you do not stop. Through sheer determination alone,
many people have achieved great results, and you can too.
Determination with discipline, patience, focus, and
stamina can propel you to great successes and
great rewards.
Determination is the grit that gets you through
a journey. It is the force of will to do all the
little details just as well as the big ones. It is
moving through and finding a way when there
is no way. It is trying everything and then adding
new things to get the results that you want.
It is tapping into all your known resources, and
pushing past your previous limits, to take the lead.
You are constantly focused on how to achieve the
results that you have set for yourself.
If you don’t know how to proceed, determination helps get you through the next phase, through the steps of learning, growing, and building, one step at a time and one process at a time. There is a strong place deep within you that you tap
into when you are exhausted, stumped, or at a dead end.
It is from this strong place that determination is born.
It says, “I will not be defeated. I will get this task done.”
It is here that you press on, that you make a decision not to
quit. It is because you have decided that what you are trying
to achieve is important, and worthy for you to complete.
You have felt in your heart that the outcome will be very good,
or even great. All dreams require determination to make a
reality. Anyone who accomplished something in this life had
great determination to do so.
You can accomplish your dreams with determination.
You can accomplish anything that you want.
Be determined in an outcome and slowly but surely, or even
quite rapidly you will see your dreams coming closer and
finally become a reality. That is the greatest feeling
in the world: when you have achieved something that you
have set out to accomplish. No one can take that feeling,
or the work that it took to accomplish it, away from you.
