Maintaining determination
+++++++++++++++++++

With enough determination, no goal is out of reach.
Determination carries you past seemingly insurmountable obstacles and makes things real that were once considered impossible.

So how do you create and maintain sufficient determination to take you where you want to go? How do you keep the power of determination working for you?

To maintain your determination, you simply must remember it.
For as powerful as your determination can be, it is nothing more than a concept in your mind.

As long as you can keep that concept of determination at the front of your mind, it will work for you. As long as you can remember, with passion and with clarity, the what, why and how of your determination, it will carry you forward.

When the challenges come, remember that you are determined and you will be. Though your determination won’t solve your problems for you, it can keep you going long enough for you to solve them yourself.

What things in your life to you truly wish to change, to improve, to create, to accomplish, and why? Sincerely answer that question, and you’ll discover plenty of determination within yourself.

Keep that determination in mind as each moment goes by, and you’ll accomplish whatever you choose to accomplish.

Matthew 10:16-26

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be shrewd as serpents, and innocent as doves. But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to the courts, and scourge you in their synagogues; and you shall even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.”

“But when they deliver you up, do not become anxious about how or what you will speak; for it shall be given you in that hour what you are to speak. For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.”

“And brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all on account of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.”

“But whenever they persecute you in this city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you shall not finish going through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become as his teacher, and the slave as his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household! Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.” Matthew 10:16-26 (Jesus speaking to His twelve disciples — NAS)

Psalm 116:5

“Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is compassionate.” Psalm 116:5 (NAS)
