What is determination and why should you apply it at
some point in your life?
Determination is considered a positive quality, which shows that a person has strong willpower to achieve goals. To become a person with determination, you must fulfill several requirements: know what you want; do whatever it takes to reach your goal; persevere until you get it, and have the perseverance to face any obstacle along the way.
A clear example is when a person is determined to lose weight at all costs. That person knows he or she wants to lose weight, will diet and exercise; will persevere day after day, and will not care, for example, if someone thinks he or she is making a failed attempt. Although this may sound a bit pretentious, it is not at all pretentious because it is a personal goal that a person wants to achieve no matter what.
Now, how does one develop one's determination?
Well, this is the most complicated part to explain since everyone is different. But there are two points to follow that could help you, these are:
Increase the intensity with which you want to reach your goal.
There has to come a time when your goal is not just a simple desire, but it has to become an obsession, so you will be willing to do it at all costs. And to do this, you can get together with people who want to achieve the same goals as you, or you can also look for a mentor who has achieved what you want to not only guide you but also inspire you.
Act and develop the right habits.
Make sure that what you have to do to achieve your goals becomes part of your daily life, so that this behavior becomes part of your habit, what you do without thinking, whether you are tired or not. Sick or not.
This aspect is fundamental to cultivate perseverance because our level of motivation cannot be without ups and downs. Also, on our bad days, we can't stop doing what we have to do. That is why the decision to do or not to do cannot depend on our motives but must become a habit.
Now I want to know, do you think it is better to have determination in all aspects of life or one at a time?
Have you ever felt the need to persevere in one aspect of your life?
I think that having determination in all aspects of your life can be dangerous because, as you said before, it can become an obsession or you can become very strict with yourself. However, as human beings that we are, it is necessary to change some things that may not be beneficial for us in the long run. For that, we must have the determination to change it for our good. Certainly, in my life, I have experienced that determination in studies or in my personal life, but sometimes when I am in this process, I get stressed hahaha.
ResponderEliminarWhen you have good determination, you are able to do whatever you want. You can face de problems or dificult situations and come through them. Determination is what you need to accomplish your dreams. Maybe, you can be obsesed about your objectives, but if you want to get them, you have to work hard. This is a good kind of motivations as well as the fear of failure.
