Think back to a time when you had a goal that you wanted to achieve – really wanted to achieve it. Nothing would’ve stopped you. You were set on reaching that goal, no matter what got in your way!
This is determination.
Determination is when you’re set firmly in your decision or course of action to achieve a goal.
Determined
Set on goal’s reach, Cannot be swayed
Like the will to win no matter the odds
The word “determine” stems from “de” meaning “completely” in Latin and “terminare” or “terminate” meaning to limit, fix, or mark the end. So, when you’re determined to meet a goal, you’ll “completely mark the end.” This is wholehearted commitment.
Determination
One’s strength of will; unyielding aim
Like fire doused by water but still burning…
What’s one goal you’re determined to achieve in your life that you haven’t yet?
How will you reach that end goal completely?
What support might you need to achieve it?
Some wonderful questions for contemplation today. And may you find your strength of will like the flame of a fire determined to burn!
