Importance of Determination

By Simon Andrew


Determination is a blessing but we often seem not to recognize and use it to benefit ourselves. We can refer determination as the power to expedite and end an activity on purpose. Determination varies among folks depending on how one is willing to achieve something. What are you willing to achieve in spite of the presence of many challenges? There are individuals who are faint hearted; they easily give up when they are faced with a challenge.

Determination is a core factor that allows dreams come true and makes an individual to realize his/her aspiration. People who succeed in life are those who are determined to achieve goals regardless of the challenges faced or the stumbling blocks laid on the way. People who lack determination will always fail even though they are provided with favorable environment to achieve their aspirations.

The fear of failure has made many individuals not to achieve their goals. Many individuals fail to know what it implies when we say a person is determined. In the lay man's language it implies that a person is inspired to carry a task regardless of anything. Self motivation is acquired in the process of determination as one has a reason why he/she wants to achieve certain goals in life. Something makes him to work harder. What is making you to work hard each day?

People should learn to intelligently use their determination. Take for instance a person who wants to be popular and starts consuming alcoholic drinks, don't you think he has become popular? Of course, he is popular, but not in the right way, but in something that will lead on to addiction thus his determination won't help him out.

Many philosophers and psychological specialists have come up with theories on determination. One of them claimed that the determination of a person will always help him make and choose decisions that are right, but if in case determination makes a person to make a wrong decision it will be due to some severe error or some lack of knowledge by the person. As determination inspires one to make right choices, it will always help him come up with new choices and take new undertakings which may enable him to be successful.

In the process of self healing, being determined is very important as it helps one to knock out the nasty habits which may hamper his success. We should all keep in mind that there is extreme power above us which takes account of our every action and whatever we are thinking. And this is the power of our Almighty that has blessed us with determination.

Everybody has determination but the degree of determination in a person is what counts. Determination increases when we frequently use it. There are those folks who use it carefully considering it as a valuable blessing without involving themselves in pessimistic practices. Others just don't even realize it as a valuable blessing and they end up misusing it.

We should recognise that we have been given determination to enhance our self growth. Therefore it's the responsibility of an individual to use determination to realise self growth. It all depends on what we want in life and how determined we are.
