Nice article from Katheryn Hoban on determination and commitment with regards to goals and achievement. Wish I had written it myself.

Here it is. Enjoy . . .

Determination

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 predetermined that there is an answer or solution and that you will discover it.

When you have determination, you push beyond any resistance in your mind, that may say you can’t do something, and you determine to find a way to do it, and do it well. With that same determination, you may 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 outcome, 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 seems to be no way. It is trying everything and then adding new things to finally get the results that you want.

It is tapping into all your known resources, and pushing past 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 is 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 anything 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.
