20 Quotes To Fuel Your Determination To Achieve Your Goals

How many times in your life have you made the decision to do or complete something, perhaps made a commitment to yourself or someone else that you would indeed fulfil this particular obligation, only to quit or withdraw from doing so? Maybe this particular task, action, or assignment was just too difficult, tedious, or unsatisfying, and you just didn't want to commit yourself to it? Myself, I think back to when I got accepted into a university course, following the completion of my secondary school education. Personally, the last thing I felt like doing was getting stuck into more study and homework, so it wasn't exactly something that excited me, but because Mum and Dad were so proud of me, I felt an obligation to do this particular university course. Only just a few months into the course though, I pulled out of it. I wasn't passionate about it whatsoever, and I instead took aim at finding a job. Mum and Dad were really cut up about my choice, and I really felt like I let them down, but I didn't have that drive or determination to keep doing something I wasn't enjoying, nor did I believe it was leading me to something I genuinely wanted to do in the future. It's these sort of stories that really highlight the fact that unless we have a genuine passion for doing something, and have a goal that we are truly desperate to achieve, to which we would pretty much do anything in order to achieve it, we will never be fully committed and determined to accomplish it. There's a complete absence of motivation and drive, nothing which keeps us accountable to achieve it. Even in keeping on with the journey, our application level would be extremely low in comparison to the potential we would reveal if we were striving for something we are truly passionate about.

I believe the solidity and importance of our goals lie within our level of determination. It's one thing to say that we want to achieve something, and we want to accomplish something, but words and commitments are futile unless they are supported with actions, attitude, and the right behaviors. Determination is making a firm decision and then being resolved not to change it. It's a binding agreement with oneself that no matter the circumstances, failures, challenges, setbacks, rejections, and opposition, we are bound to face along the journey, we are going to honor this agreement and fulfil our goal. Determination is the instant deletion of the outlet to quitting, giving up, and succumbing to failure. It's giving ourselves no other option but to succeed, and holding ourselves accountable to that success. This is where our goal holds the key, because just like with my commitment to completing that university course, unless it's something that truly drives, motivates, excites, and inspires us, then we are sentencing ourselves to failure and quitting. Why do so many people quit in the pursuit of their goals, succumb to failure, or not even attempt to pursue their goals at all? Simple, it doesn't mean enough to them, it doesn't hold great importance or priority. When I talk of the solidity of a goal, I'm talking about the driving factor behind it, the why, and the emotional attachment to it. That goal must contain, not just the reason behind why it's so important for us to achieve it, but that vital ingredient of determination within it, that trigger that would lock us in to achieving it at whatever cost. There's no option for quitting, only opportunities to find action, after action, after action, until we reach that goal.

Determination is a promise we make to ourselves, and let's be honest, when other people break their promises to us, we know all too well about that feeling of hurt and betrayal that it leaves us with, so why would we want to do the same thing to ourselves? Your one main goal in life should revolve around a life transformation, which blesses you with the rewards of success, happiness, fulfillment, satisfaction, and even prosperity. Get clear on what that goal looks like for you, and ensure you are genuinely driven by it, so much so, that you are determined to achieve it no matter what adversities life throws at you along the journey. Never let that determination waiver. Here are 20 quotes to fuel the determination within you to achieve your goals.
