In the end determination is what carries you towards your goals. If
man has
walked on the Moon or is going to land on Mars tomorrow, it
is the power of determination which takes him where he wants to go.
Without determination we cannot make progress. Life being so
difficult, with so many twists and turns that seem to be out of our
control, we cannot hold on to our dear hopes and aspirations without
this valuable talent holding us firmly committed to our goals.
Determination thrives if there is faith and hope, faith in your
abilities and talents and your capacity to deal with problems as
they arise in the absence of certainty and no guarantees. One may
not may not have hope in the future, in things that are not under
one's control, but one should have hope in one's abilities and
skills to meet with any challenges. Hope is the rudder and faith is
the fuel, that keep the boat of determination floating in the sea of
life.
If there is one gift that you can give to yourself to achieve
success in life, it is the power of determination. Without it you
remain a passive spectator in the drama of your life.
If you have the determination to undertake a particular course of
action, to achieve a particular dream, to attain a particular status
or position of honor or prestige in your life, nothing can stop you
and nothing can deter you.
Impediments may come and delay your progress, may disturb you
temporarily, may even lead you astray for some time, but they cannot
withstand the sustained pressure and energy of strong determination,
the power that you generate within yourself to hold on tenaciously
to the course of action you have chosen and to your cherished goals.
This is one of the most valuable assets you can have in your life.
If you have this, you will have every thing you want in your life.
You are successful or unsuccessful to the extent you are determined
and committed to your goals.
The human mind can do anything it wants to, but only if it has
the unwavering strength of determination, of the certitude to reach
the goal it has chosen for itself, of the freedom of choice it
exercises in deciding the kind of life it wants to pursue.
With faith in God and confidence in yourself, and with strong
determination, you can achieve the impossible, realize the most
difficult dreams and achieve incredible success in your life.
Remember this formula, write it down some where in your house or
place of work, in your note book or diary, in your memory, or in
your computer :
Success = Idea + Determination.
Idea - Determination = Wishful thinking, fantasy, a waste of time
and valuable resources.
Take up a project or goal only if you are sure that you have the
will and the energy to go ahead with your plans, whatever may be the
difficulties, obstacles, and complications in your path.
When a strong mind and a strong character join hands with the
power of determination, who can stop such a powerful juggernaut in
this world, who can push back such a self assured and determined
army of thoughts marching in unison, singing the song of victory ?
So why not start now with the determination to have a strong
determination ?
