There's a well-known saying by Mike Tyson, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." This is when reality sinks in and you have to deal with the present situation you find yourself.
There's a word that can transform your life no matter the drama that seems to characterize your existence, if you wholeheartedly embrace its meaning.
That word is DETERMINATION.
There's nothing more powerful than a determined person. Determination here implies firmness of purpose or the tendency to move in a certain direction.
The determined individual always ends up getting what he wants from life.
Here's your 5-step plan to be determined:
- Choose only a few important goals and stick to them.
- Cultivate the habit of writing your goals...say daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc.
- Stop being idle or busy doing the wrong thing. Welcome each day with renewed effort to unleash your potentials and pursue your dreams.
- Walk straight with your head up and constantly look beyond the current circumstances.
- Resolve and repeat to yourself "I'll never give up!"
Practice staying determined, and it's almost guaranteed that you’ll live the life you really want to live.
Have an amazing day!
