A quote by Vince Lombardi: “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” How determined are you? How focused are you on achieving what you want? The look on our faces a lot of times will tell how determined we can be. It starts here…determine you are going to do something, then going after it to achieve it no matter what.

How focused are you on achieving what you want? The look on our faces a lot of times will tell how determined we can be. It starts here…determine you are going to do something, then going after it to achieve it no matter what.Some of us can be inspired by watching others, and some of us get help by direct encouragement from others. These are helpful in achieving our goals, but if we don’t have that underlying determination ourselves of going after something, then we still won’t end up getting very far. We have discussed before having our goals in mind, writing them down, then putting our head down, and going for it. We are in the driver seat. We determine what course we are going to take. We determine in our mind where we want to go.
“Success isn’t how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.” This is determined by us…DETERMINATION!
Above you will see a picture of Nick running in Track. I think this is a perfect example of that look of determination on somebody’s face when they are working towards something, and nothing is going to get in their way. You will see below one of me with Chris…Chris is determined to run a half marathon this coming year, and I have not doubt she will achieve it. She has come a long way the past few years already when it comes to running and exercise. Her biggest obstacle is between her ears! Confidence comes with time, and will be a subject of another topic in this series later. I also have listed 2 quotes below, the first one being the definition of Determination: A fixed purpose, the power and will to persist, resolve, to have the drive, to have the grit, to go the distance, to be hell-bent on reaching a goal and getting it done no matter what! Determination is the difference between making the impossible, possible! Keep moving everybody!
