Determination Helps Get Your Tasks Done

We can all use a healthy dose of determination.

The resolve to get things done. The energy for the tasks ahead.

The courage of our convictions. The dedication to our purpose.

The persistence and tenacity to get the job done.

The willpower and single-mindedness to forge ahead. The staying power to last the course.

Determination can set us apart from the result. Back this up with discipline and control and you have a very strong combination.

One that can help you succeed in life and make your decision making that much smoother and more productive.

But we still need the confidence and self esteem to pull it all off. And the sense of self worth that does us proud.

We do need to respect and accept ourselves.

As with all things just one aspect of life going well is fine, but put them together with others and you will achieve more.

And then if you question yourself and your efforts you will do it from a sense of strength and or purpose. And it will have more meaning for you.

The power of words . . .

I strongly feel that words have a place in our lives. As we read this page we can let the words gently flow over us. We can let ourselves open up . . .

• to the thoughts and their meanings
• to the ideas and their origin
• to the phrases and the understandings that they have ready for us

And too gently and slowly let them impact on our lives as we read - and in the future when we recall their meaning for us.

I hope this page has this effect. If we just remember that words can be very powerful - healing, soothing, comforting, relaxing . . .

Determination - what would we do without it?
how can we make decisions with grit and resolution
with the conviction and courage to see your task through
the fortitude and persistence to make a real breakthrough

In your life and the way that you act
have some backbone, tenacity and in fact
use your willpower to see the job done
with the steadfastness to ensure any action

Is seen through from beginning to end
and what a message to you that would send
knowing that you are really that capable
staying power, perseverance you have but don't be boastful

For life has this habit of having a slippery slope
you start at the top but may start to lose hope
as down the hill you do go at some speed
you have to remain true to you, oh yes indeed

True to yourself could be a mantra you use
tenacity, fortitude, willpower do not abuse
your gifts and your talents on the road you travel
with single-mindedness you may have to be careful

Lest you go off all obstinate and steadfast
picking your route through decisions, long may it last
doggedness, resoluteness may be key words
sense of purpose and drive help you follow your own standards

Which you should have for life through and through
then with experience and practice you will see-through
most problems and situations and draw your own conclusion
using your talents and values backed by your dedication

To succeed at your own pace
the energy of life you are happy to embrace
as you resolve to march forward with due determination
with care and respect you will cause no friction

Between yourself and others in the life you lead
forward, choose the direction, onwards at high-speed
just think what you are doing while your life goes by
lest you are judged too quickly or too harshly

With single-mindedness and boldness much can be achieved
keep at it, be relentless or you might be deceived
into thinking that you have solved all of your problems
being determined, firm and tenacious speaks volumes

Of your grit and resolve to make good decisions
with good deeds and thought behind them success beckons
you forward into that nice place
where life is pleased and blesses you with its grace

For finding yourself in life's humdrum experience
use your efforts wisely and you'll have the license
to pursue your path in life with all good speed
and all of your dreams and goals you will pleasantly exceed.

All best,
Martin
