Mario Andretti said it well: "Desire is
key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal -- a commitment to excellence -- that will enable you to attain
success you seek."
Here are five questions to consider that will help to advance your enthusiasm and determination:
What dreams and aspirations are you committed to achieving during your lifetime?
In which areas of your life are you committed to becoming exceptional?
What are
biggest obstacles that are holding you back from what you want?
What could you do to turn your obstacles into advantages?
What would be
most compelling way to fire up your enthusiasm and determination to achieve your objectives?
Take time to contemplate each of these questions. Write down your answers and reflect upon what they mean for your future. Then take action on
insights you receive. Begin to move toward your dreams with a committed, enthusiastic determination.
You will also view obstacles from a broader perspective. Obstacles may appear at first to be overwhelming. However, they can become surmountable challenges because of an enthusiastic determination. They become valuable lessons that encourage growth and lasting achievements.
With stronger enthusiasm and determination, you will find a positive energy pulling you toward what you want to achieve. Then act on your ideas with confidence. As Henry David Thoreau said, "If one advances confidently in
direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live
life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
Advance toward your dreams today with a heightened determination and enthusiasm. The commitments you make and
actions you take with enthusiastic determination will bring you
success you are now envisioning.
