Determination is not whether you’re a good or bad person, it’s about what you’re willing to do to achieve your end goal. Your path to success is always based on the determination that you have engrained within yourself. Determination aligns your energy and attention towards your focus.
Work From Your Point of Strength
Study your circumstance and your intention, then choose a path that blends the two extremes of determination mentioned above.
- Doing this ensures that you always have something to fuel your intention and give you a point of strength to continue on your path.
Create Personal Values
Come up with personal values that you’ll not compromise for anything else. Personal values give you a purpose for staying committed to the goal even when everything else seems meaningless.
- If you want to remain happy no matter what position you’re in, then don’t “sell yourself out” or step on someone else’s toes just to get further
Take Action Now
You can only learn from your past so you need to put your attention on what you do now
- Do not wait for inspiration but instead, you must seek it and you will surely find it
- Make good use of any opportunity that you get on any given day because it may not come around again
Don’t Forget the Finish Line
Fortitude is what will ultimately make you as a person and is what all great people are capable of, no matter how bad the situation is.
- Remember, the finish line is only within arm’s reach
- Get the most out of your training by reading these articles
Become Deeply Committed
Make a solid, well thought out plan that displays the best path to achieve your goals.
- Stick to it and don’t deviate from your plan
- Over-commit to your goals and make your life revolve around your desire
Don’t Choose Luck Over Deliberate Practice
One fight can alter your career drastically, but a series of fights over a number of years defines your career.
- Never leave anything down to luck and always give nothing less than 100% during training.
Work Within the Laws
Laws are goal posts that show you where to aim
Realign Your Actions Regularly
Don’t dwell on values that are not congruent to the present laws.
- If you believe weight training will increase your power, and then other facts present itself that it’s not, then you must change the way you do things.
Avoid distractions
Socialize on your own schedule, not someone elses. Avoid being the center of attention. Focus on your workout routine, diet, and other important aspects of life. Avoid all external distractions that impede your focus and make it harder for you to reach your goals.
Narrow Your Choices
Failure to strike out your distractions and detractors leads to a dimmed focus and soon you’ll be unable to decide what to do, even though you know what is best for you
- On the other hand, if you identify what distracts you and stay committed to avoiding it, then you’ll become much more focused on your goal.
