The\nfamous quote as the topic of the essay says it all. If we have determination\nand willpower for one defined goal in life, then nothing can stop us from\nachieving success. Though, in some people this quality is infused by God and\nsome have to develop it by practice, if we have this then nothing can stop us\nfrom succeeding in life. Though one thing is clear that the type of achievement\ndepends upon the goal that we have defined for ourself and our determination. Also,\none should always remember that the journey of life is not smooth, failures are\npart of it and we should learn from the failures rather than cribbing over the\nsituation. Once we are determined and have disciplined our mind, we will see a\ngreat transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our\nquest for success and happiness begins with right intentions. It culminates\nwhen we reach our chosen goals. What sustains our effort in between is our\ndetermination. What carries us towards our goals is determination. If mankind has set foot on the\nmoon or is planning to land on Mars or another planet someday, it is because\nsome people, somewhere, are determined to make it happen, with firm conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Determination\nmeans the firmness of purpose or intention. It is the strength of our will and\nfocus to remain steadfast in our effort. It means having the ability to stay on\ncourse, remain focussed on goals, stand\nup to the problems and obstacles with conviction, stay fixed and firm about our\ndecisions, solutions and intentions and apply the power of will to dream and desires with resolve, grit,\nfortitude, faith and courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Determination\nis one of Nature\u2019s mysterious mechanisms, which is not confined to humans only.\nAnimals also show great determination to protect themselves from enemies and\nthreats and survive against odds. There is no doubt that determination is\nembedded in advanced life forms, which keeps them life-oriented and survive in\ndifficult and varied environments. You may call it by any name, willpower,\nresolve, tenacity, resilience or determination, in the end what makes the\ndifference between success and failure is the strength of your will and the\npower of your determination. Some people may achieve success by luck, but most\nhave it by determination only. Some people give up easily, while some fight\nuntil the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\nhuman beings, it appears that determination is deeply ingrained as part of\ntheir survival instinct and self-expression. However, it may not equally\nmanifest in all due to various influences. We can see that people vary in their\ndetermination to pursue their goals and desires. Some people easily give up,\nand some go to the end. Some people do not try at all, while some never give up\nuntil they finish what they start. Such differences are mainly due to the\ndifferences in their thinking and attitude and due to various intrinsic and\nextrinsic factors, such as beliefs, social and cultural influences, fear,\nself-esteem, the strength of the desires, the rewards or the pay-off involved,\netc. It suggests that while determination may form part of our natural instinct\nto survive, it may also be learned and sustained by conscious effort and by\nchanging our thinking and attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nBhagavad Gita considers some resolve evil and demonic, arising from the dark\nnature of human consciousness. In the end, it does no good to anyone and should\nbe avoided. That resolve is good which does not resort to evil methods and does\nnot lead to negative consequences. This essay does not speak about how to\ncultivate determination, but its importance in life and in accomplishing tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\nIndia, unbelievable success has been achieved by many great personalities\nbecause of their strong determination towards a goal. One such example of a\nstrong soul is Mahatma Gandhi who had lived his entire life to fulfil just one\ndream, of freeing India from the shackles of British rule. He lived with this\npassion of converting his dream into reality and got success. Some more\nexamples of determined people and their success stories in India are Kumar\nBirla, Lakshmi Mittal, Dhirubhai Ambani, Azim Premji, Pallonji Mistry, Sammer\nGehlaut, Jamsetji Tata and the list continues. These are not extraordinary\npeople but what is common to all of them is their strong will to achieve\ngreatness in life. Day and night they all had just one dream and they worked towards the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If\nthere is one gift that we can give to ourselves in life to be what we wanted to\nbe, it is the power of determination. Without it we are a mere passive\nspectator in the drama of life. If there\nis one quality that makes a difference between a winner and a loser or a leader\nand a follower, it is the power of determination. Without it, we may dream wild\ndreams, but will not be able to accomplish much in life. If we have\ndetermination, nothing can stop us and deter us from following our course of\naction to achieve goals or realise our dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obstacles\nmay arise and obstruct our progress. They may delay the success, disturb us\ntemporarily, and may even mislead us, but they cannot withstand the power of\ndetermination. It is the power that we generate within ourselves to remain\ncommitted to our path and conviction, and march towards cherished goals.\nDetermination is a strength and valuable resource in itself. If you have it,\nyou can aim for the stars. You are successful or unsuccessful to the extent you\nare determined and committed to your goals. With determination, we can\naccomplish many goals in our lives. With faith in God and confidence in\nyourself, and with strong determination, you can achieve the impossible, realise\nthe most difficult dreams and achieve excellence and incredible success in your\nlife. Remember the aforementioned formula. Write it down and frequently refer\nto it until the idea is firmly implanted in your mind. The first one leads you\nto success, and the second one to nowhere but into a fantasy land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With\ndetermination, we can crush the mountains of fear and doubts in ourselves. We\ncan find our way through the most difficult situations. Determination does not\nmean you will be insensitive to the reality of the situation. A determined\nperson is also an adaptable and flexible person. He is not interested in being\ntough for the sake of toughness, but to overcome obstacles and reach his goals.\nHence, he remains open-minded about possibilities and opportunities, but firm\nin his commitment and convictions. Discipline and determination go together. If\nyou have them, you become unstoppable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nmost important and direct consequence of determination is the power of focus.\nPerseverance, or the will to continue in the face of adversity, is another\nconsequence. Faith in your goals and your abilities stems from your\ndetermination. Discipline and determination go together. Without discipline and\nself-control it is difficult to stick to a path of action and pursue it until\nthe end. You can also strengthen your resolve by constantly remembering your\ngoals or your purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our\ndetermination greatly depends upon the strength of our desires or how badly we\nneed something, the clarity of goals, the sense of purpose and our mental\nattitude. It also depends upon endurance for pain and suffering and our ability\nto manage ambiguity and uncertainty. Determined people strengthen their resolve\nwhen things are not going in their favour. They may be flexible in their plans\nbut remain focussed upon their goals until they achieve them. If there is one\nquality we all should choose to achieve success in our life, it is\ndetermination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though\ndetermination is a simple thing, it comes with practice and then it can\ntransform your life as well as the life of people around you. To become a\ndetermined person, first of all you will have to discipline your life on a\ndaily basis as everyone has just 24 hours in a day and what makes the\ndifference is how you utilise these hours.
\nThen set one goal in life and mark the way to achieve it. Write down somewhere\nthat there is no shortcut to
\nsuccess. Your every action should be oriented towards the same goal. Keep your\nmindset very positive and be determined even when you face failures. Consider\nfailures as the hurdles but not as the full stop on the way to success. If you\nkeep moving in the right direction with a positive mindset and determination,\nyou will come out as a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTake\nup one idea. Make that one idea your life\u2014think of it, dream of it, live on that\nidea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that\nidea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, That\nis way great spiritual giants are produced.\u201d Swami Vivekananda has shown us the\nright way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
