achievement

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your driving force was determination, or some may call it stubbornness. Either way, this driving attitude can push us to do amazing things as well as unhealthy things.

Tasks or goals we are given or make for ourselves can become very important to us and we can find ours quoting, “I will finish this if it kills me.” I’ve found myself saying things like that. Especially when putting together a schedule for completing a book. That hardcore attitude is fine, but can come with a price. Such as: sleep, money, energy, time, emotional rest, and maybe even relationships.

While the achievements we strive for and force ourselves to complete are possible, life can hit us full force. Things come up that put wrenches in our plans, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

When that happens those who are earnest, will be driven to overcome the challenges through determination/stubbornness. Doing whatever it takes to not give up and quit. For some, quiting is never an option.

If you find the title, Down but Not Out, relatable I encourage you to examine your situation. What is hindering my achievement? Is there anything I can do fix it? Am I supposed to be doing this? Is this achievement worth all the energy I’m putting into it?

Determination can take us further than we intend. Use it within reason and make sure to keep it in check.

Challenge accepted is a good attitude as long as the challenge is something we actully need to do, and not something we want to do just because determination tells us to.

Until next time,
