Be Determined, Success Is For The Determined

By Gerald S. Sikazwe

The road to success is not easy because there so many hurdles along it. Success is made of down-hill movements, swift and rosy in nature and it also is made of up-hill movements that are rough and discouraging. To succeed therefore, resilience is highly required. If one lacks endurance and the 'press on, push on no matter what' mentality, failure is all they will ever achieve. Those hardships encountered when seeking for success are necessary and so we cannot avoid them. Thus we need to have firmness in our purpose, in our quest for success.

To be successful, we must always be determined. Understand that success and failure all depends on us; therefore we are their major determining factor. If we do not attach the value due to success, and worse more embrace the giving up spirit no good will come our way. We shall fail, until we become it. Determination aids us in holding on firmly to our goals, our aspirations. It brightens our visions no matter how dark the days get, it makes us settle for nothing else but success. To make it in whatever course of life we are, we have got to endure all the trying moments of failure, disappointment, fears and hopelessness.

When we are determined we rid ourselves of negative thoughts, we begin harboring positive thoughts of how possible it is to make it even when current times or current results suggest otherwise. We are made certain of things, even when they seem so unpredictable at the time. We ought to be determined in order to attain the success we set for. We must be firm on what we must achieve, on the goals we have planned to realize otherwise any hurdle, fear, momentary failures, disappointments or hopelessness will snatch it from us and thus we will fail to attain. We must have, towards our goals, determination; aggression and agility of an Eagle during its hunt!

Believe you can, and make it happen no matter what. Be determined to achieve what you dream of and I can guarantee you success, if you will stand behind your determination all the way on. Success is for the determined, people who are logical and would never give up on their dreams or goals at the sight of a challenge. People determined to achieve the impossible, those willing to stand behind their convictions firmly so as to realize whatever they have planned to realize even if it has never been thought of or accomplished.  Be determined; be in control everything depends on you, both success and failure.

You stagger, you fall. You waver, you slip and fail!
