The word determination has been there for a long time now, 95% of people in this world have heard or come across this word, (either in English language or any other language in the world) but just 45% of people in the world today are practicing it.
They always tell us that "what ever we want to achieve in life, we must be determined to do it and we will definitely achieve it" Now the question is, have you been determined to achieve that thing you really want to achieve in life?
We keep using the world determination without giving time to actually put it into action.
You will say, i am determined today, then tomorrow, you will be caught doing another thing, when asked, you will find one excuse to bail your self out.
Determination goes beyond mare spoken words, it is something you act upon. Without taking much of your time, what exactly is determination?
According to wikipedia, determination is defined as a positive emotional feeling that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.
Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one's goal.
Take not of the definition, it says determination is a positive emotional feeling that involves persevering. This means that, to be determined, you must have a strong positive feeling. It is this strong positive feeling that will enable you to persevere.
What are we persevering
Persevering towards difficult goals in spite of obstacles.
Here we have difficult goals and also obstacles this is to tell you that determination is not just a word, its a force that drives you to your goals passing through difficult situations and obstacles.
Now what does this mean?
It means that your dreams can actually come true, Yes they can, but the problem is, are you ready to be determined?
As determination is a force, there are other forces that tend to oppose determination, this is why you determine to do something and suddenly digress.
What are these forces ??
- Laziness
- Procrastination
- Confusion.
To be able to focus and in order to be determined, you need to remove laziness, procrastination and confusion from your life.
Say i must achieve this goal and pay deaf ears to anything that will want to stop you doing that.
If you do this, the sky is your starting point.
Thank you!
