Determination Firmness of Purpose, being resolute about your lifestyle and future
Only read this if you want a change in lifestyle or to plan your future.
Determination is the ability to get yourself in sync with values and follow a self-analysis plan that includes Thought - Purpose - Passion - Action.
We commit to small daily, routine things frequently. Some of these commitments get done and others lose their importance and never get done they are forgotten. Many of these were whims but the serious ones like self-improvement or planning and working on the future don’t get accomplished either.
People do this every New Year. Only 15% actually achieved any of their resolutions, because there is a lack of determination to see them through.
Not being determined is taking the easy way in life. This attitude can cause you to live reactively and does nothing for creating a fulfilling future.
In our day-to-day lives, determination doesn’t receive much attention. We are too busy trying to keep our boat afloat. Most don’t think or realize they need resolution - just go with the flow. We should be seeing ourselves, every day being determined to accomplish our Purpose.
Of course, to be firm and resolute we must have a plan for our lives - Purpose. A plan that has four essential powerful components; Thought - Purpose - Passion - Action.
People actually avoid determination. We commit to improving the very thing that will enhance the quality of life, but don’t pursue it with determination. We sometimes think about what we want in life, then go to bed and get a good night’s sleep and forget about it - no determination.
The more you avoid being determined about your Purpose the more aimless you become. Aimless is not a good place to be if you are serious about a great future. You have greatness in you but you have to bring it out - be determined to do it.
Determined people have the same problems as you may be facing; procrastination, and negative input from yourself or others but they overcome using Thought - Purpose -Passion - Action and become determined - you can do this.
People who concentrate on their future with determination have produced extraordinary results. Many people started successful ventures from the kitchen table/garage or went from poverty to a fantastic lifestyle.
When you don’t have determination you will give into the path of least residence - the path to nowhere. If you feel relieved about avoiding determination you are strengthening the negative part of life, where you don’t want to be.
True determination is something you create/develop from knowing your mindset, values, and purpose. Don’t go another day without giving deep, serious thought to each of these essential areas.
A lot of times it takes courage to be determined. You may have to change what you're telling yourself, and how you talk to yourself. People may try to discourage you from pursuing your Purpose - be determined. As the definition says, determination is firmness of Purpose.
So ask yourself are you determined to achieve your Purpose or a go-with-the-flow type of person, not taking life seriously. There are millions of people not taking life seriously - life is a serious business.
William Mather Lewis had it right: “The tragedy of life is not that it ends too soon, but that we wait too long to begin it”.
This identifies most people. Don’t be in this group!!
Today is the time to begin, if not now, when?
Don’t be reactive be proactive!
