D is for DETERMINATION
Many a times when we reflect on our list of accomplishments
in life we realise that we would have accomplished so much more had we looked
inwards rather than blaming external factors/ reasons for the same. Self-brooding
further will bring to focus those unfinished tasks/ goals that could have been
accomplished had we maintained some discipline and kept alive our drive and
passion. DETERMAINATION is that trait which not only encompass discipline,
drive, passion but many other quality traits like will power. DETERMINATION refers
to a resolve to finish the task, achieve the goals and provides the missing
link between the goal and its accomplishment.
Why DETERMINATION is important ?

ReplyDeleteI like how you break it down into actionable steps. Often I say I want to be determined - but I see it as a general grit and hard work. This post was practical and helpful.

Thanks for your comments Nancy
DeleteI would like to add one more point - connect your goals or what you want to achieve with your purpose. When what you do is purposeful, you will be more determined because your purpose is what will support you when things get tough. Cheers.
