"Determination,...

an unswerving will, is actually the continous, concious directing of attention and awareness toward a given end for a given purpose. And this is accomplished by continously renewing the decisions or choices made to reach the given end, in spite of apparent obstacles and difficulties. A person with such a will, that is, such an ability to keep renewing a decision, does not get discouraged by mistakes and failures. If one method used to reach his goal does not work after repeated tries, he tries another, and then another, until he finds one that does work, even if it means he has to change himself. A person with a so-called "weak will" is simply someone who uses the same concious will power that everyone has to change his mind about continuing toward a goal. In other words, he just makes a different decsion not to continue, while the first person makes a decision to continue." This is from a Hawaiin book one of their belief systems and I feel a very powerful statement. Dont ever give up, you must continue to believe in what it is you want and keep pressing on no matter what hgets in the way.
