'Determined'
Determination is a human character trait whereby we become intent on achieving a goal. This form of resolve can be either positive or negative. However, what I want to write about is the positive side of determination. The side that makes us think of a firmness of purpose, and the resolve to be willing to do whatever it takes to get to where it is we want to be. The determination that sees us overcoming any obstacles. Now, what I talk about is not some revolutionary change that you want to bring about - to me, that is a different kind of determination - instead, I speak about determination on a personal level. A willpower to be a better person than the one you were yesterday. To overcome any personal falls and pull ourselves back up. To not stop doing what it is we love just because others think it worthless. To ignore the negative little voice inside our heads telling us we can't do that, don't even attempt that, you might as well quit now, don't even try, just give up. To feel fear and to see the risks and then to have the determination to close our eyes to them so that in the end we can reap the rewards. The determination that sees us never giving up on life.
