Determination

By Patrick Bunker

Determination is a very rare quality. People are not born with determination. Determination is something that is cultivated over time. Determination is the most crucial factor when it comes to accomplishing great things in life.
Making resolutions in life will build determination. Most people only make resolutions once a year if they even bother to make any at all. This usually happens on New Year's Eve or a person's birthday. When these resolutions are made, they are almost never followed for more than a week or two before they are abandoned.
Have you ever noticed how people tend to make the same resolution every year and then fail to see it through to completion? This is mainly due to the fact that these resolutions are only set once a year. Determined people set new resolutions at least once a month. When they do set resolutions, they create a way to measure their progress.
Many people are determined, but they are unable maximize their productivity because they are following the wrong working process. It is easy to believe that you are lacking determination and are unable to work productively when you are not achieving what you believe you are capable of. In most cases this problem is created when a person works in a manner that is not consistent with their personality.
