Determination

Definition:

The act of coming to a decision or of fixing or settling a purpose.

Many people have a reference termed to them as being"strong willed" in nature. No matter what you say to them, they have their mind made up to press forward in what it is they envision in their mind. That is a clear sign of determination rooted deeply within them. So must you come to this place about your purpose and everything having to do with it.

I like this word because it has been one of my words of mainstay that captures the essence of my heart and mind throughout my life. I have seemingly seen more lows than highs, according to my own definition. But I have kept the same attitude about life in never giving up. Granted there have been many days that I felt like it. I could feel the innervation of defeat all around me but determination seemed to always stand far and above all else. In the midst of everything I have faced, I have had the hand of God The Father on my life reminding of the majesty of His presence near me, not allowing me to fall, pressing me to never give in, that there was always a brighter day coming.

You must come to a place in your life where you make a decision (a determination) that the things that matter most in your life is where you will begin to focus your effort and energy. You must have pinpoint and accurate focus and not allow anything or anyone to deter you from your destiny's path. You must determine (fixate) in your mind the one main objective and goal in your life: to fulfill your purpose to the fullest.

When you have come to your place of determination, that place where you realize that nothing else matters but you walking in your purpose, a transformation of the heart and mind will take place. No one will be able to sway you from you walking in your purpose. Know that distractions will come to try and dissuade you from the direction you should be heading, but as long as you hold to your decision of staying on course, success is ineluctable (incapable of being evaded; inescapable).
