"Determination is an inside job, but inspiration comes from the outside."- Barbara Aberc.
Determination is indeed an inside job that you as the individual breeds and then presents to the world.
Determination is essential to making a difference in life and also, it helps bring to bear inspirations which being outside, always gets magneted to what is in the inside of a man.
I like that the will to be determined is in everyone of us, so no one can say they don't have it. It all boils down to how well we utilize that string of determination evident in us.
Some use it for the good of society and themselves, while some use it for all the wrong reasons.
What does determination mean?
Determination simply means "the quality of being determined and of someone having a firmness of purpose." The keyword being firmness of purpose in whatever one sets out to do. You stay determined despite yourself and then you will see the results coming out beautifully.
What does inspiration mean?
Inspiration means "that process of being mentally stimulated to do something creative." The keyword being "mentally stimulated" means it is something that works with a mind that is determined. You cannot be inspired from an undetermined mind.
Determination + Inspiration.
There is such a time as that time when you must get yourself prepared for moving onto the next level in life no matter how comfortable you may be where you stand. There is no such thing as a permanently successful individual.
"Success is a process of going through the motion one more time every now and then."
When you are determined, which is from the inside, you will have an overflowing confident to step outside, and get inspired.
Without a determined spirit, there will be no inspiration because, the inside must be strong enough and ready to take what comes from the outside. You cannot give what you do not have.
