DETERMINATION
the quality of being resolute; firmness of purpose.
Boldness, Grit, Bravery, Courage, Drive, Backbone, Tenacity:
These words are Synonyms of Determination...
What provokes your sense of Determination? Is it a song, a positive affirmation, a positive comment from a friend, loved one? Is it a negative comment from someone? Is it a race? Is it an "Aha" moment? Is it from watching someone famous? Is it from something you watched on tonight's news?
We all find our determination for things in our lives in so many different ways. I find mine in all of the above. I have been determined to recover from an eating disorder by wanting to do certain athletic races; triathlon, running, swimming, being healthy for my family. I have been determined to finish races due to bad news. I have been determined to get through uncomfortable situations in my life.
With determination you can reach your goals in life, get through dark moments, inspire someone else to find their own determination.
Skyscraper
(Original by Demi Lovato)
(Chorus)
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
This is the chorus of a song called Skyscraper which was originally sung by Demi Lavato, I first heard it by Sam Bailey. This song touched me at point in my life where I wasn't sure if I was ready to take the road to recovery from the eating disorder, but after days of playing it over and over again, crying each time I heard it, it was time to hit the road to recovery. I also listen to this song up loud when I am running, it gives me the push I need when I am wanting to stop.
I hope you can find something that pushes your determination button and help you reach your goals and dreams. Enjoy your weekend. Be a skyscraper and reach for the stars and beyond...
