Be Determined To Succeed

in #life8 years ago

As a way of introduction, I would like to remind us that; more often than not; there are no shortcuts to success. Your success is a direct function of your determination to succeed. And determination requires actions. Remember:

You are absolutely responsible for the outcome of your life.

So also; you are equally responsible for the actions you take and for your inactions.

Most times, you could be faced with a situation in which taking actions would be almost impossible and the option of "giving up" would become so glaring. Can I tell you this? This is actually the best time to take positive actions. These situations only exist to instil fear in you and hamper your ability to take actions. But as soon as you take actions, you would discover that everything would begin to fall into place. Remember:

A wrong decision is better than no decision. - Bishop David Abioye.

At least, you would learn from it and be better in the future. No experience is completely wasted; as long as you were able to learn new things from it. Sometimes; even "failure" does not necessarily mean lack of success, but delayed success to make it better.

It is better to fail at doing something than to succeed at doing nothing. - Prof Emeka Anyanwu.

But for you to succeed; you need to pay the price. And the price is "determination". Remember that; not until you are willing to pay the price, you may not get the prize.

Believe me; in you quest for success, you would meet challenges. But it is your determination that would make you not to crack under these challenges. In the light of this; refuse to accept nothing short of success.

So my advice here is: Keep trying and don't quit. Success would be your next destination.

well written @samminator
In my case, I do mistakes and learn from it and never repeat it (most of the times). This is the way of living........ Just waiting for a right moment or backing up from something just to not loose will not teach you anything. Better try it out.
Cheers
