Passion, desire and determination are deemed as the key components for success.
Usually we will have the passion and desire to achieve what we want, but the only drawback is often the determination.
People argued that the lack of determination is mainly due to the weak desire of one. If one’s desire is strong enough, one is certainly able in propelling forwards. No matter how tedious or tough the challenges are, one can definitely surmount it. It’s all depends on conviction of one. I embraced this mindset, as it’s logical and true. Nonetheless, I just realize there’re conditions veiling this concept.
Just like jogging or running, you often set a goal for yourself to complete. For instance, you target to run 5 laps. However, at the 3rd lap, you’re already exhausted; you feel your physical strength can’t push you on anymore. Your desire is strong, and so you push yourself to carry on. But you start to feel dizzy and may run a risk to faint after lap 4. So you gave up at that moment, although your desire to hit your goal is still strong.
So is this a matter of determination issue? Or is it an issue of desire vitality? To me, I felt it is the problem of the goal setting. The goal is too far-fetched for one to start with at the commencement. Maybe one is trained to become a marathon runner, but it’s still a need for one to consider the current status first, before stating a lofty goal. I’m not saying that one shouldn’t set a big dream, but it’s more advisable for one to slash the dream into stages, and set realizable goal in respective stages. Because only by hitting the goal constantly, one won’t feel dispirited and easily give up.
So step by step, heading to your dream! When you feel like the determination’s vanishing soon, clutch your teeth and keep going!
When I finally see the 12th symbol, I feel alive.
