"The essential thing is not the triumph but the struggle"
Insight suggests that mustering the determination necessary to
Master a challenge (which has repeatedly met with failure) refuels The human spirit's desire to struggle forth until hard won success has Been achieved, and thus do we define determination as a personal trait that Drives mankind to muster the self confidence necessary to Continue to develop inner strengths (both mental and physical) as We inch forward on the historical time line, making Such sound use of our solution-seeking noodles as to absorb The wealth of knowledge that proves necessary to achieve any Heartfelt, long range goal, which, though beyond mastery, today May match one's reach at a later date, suggesting better late than never Needless to say, if progression toward achieving a long range goal is to Meet with success then a pattern of thought, which has become Stuck in a cyclical rut must be identified before clarity can Recognize which negative attitude has created a closed mindset, which Proves in need of expansion before change for the better can gather Momentum, and here's why that's true: Closed mindsets are as stubborn and hard to change as habits, which is why Coom sense suggests seeking astute coaching, skilled in carving New pathways of thought where positive focus encourages our spirits To thrive; otherwise we can expect our present trains of thought to take us No place better, tomorrow, than wherever we find ourselves stuck, today And when our spirits feel stuck in quicksand, they, like any living thing Will continue to sink unless we, who are sinking Think to reach out to accept a helpful hand, attached to a mind whose Insightful strengths prove well practiced at adjusting Narrow comfort zones to match a well-grounded sense of Open mindedness that offers emotional tension a sense of Expanded brain space in which to uncoil, and as Narrow mindsets, limited by unresolved guilt, Expand to absorb new patterns of thought, the persistence of Intuition, knowing the spirit's need for change for the better Creates a relaxed comfort zone that runs deeper than Had been possible when mental tension had tied Intelligent thought into such tight little knots as to have Blocked intuitive trains of thought from Making its way through the tunnel of darkness toward The light, where a bright new sense of rebalanced Self awareness, based in insights, dancing clearly into view Spotlight the heavy weight of baggage that your Brain and mine have struggled to identify and unload, and once That change for the better is ours, guess what feels so free of Yesteryear's festering pain as to dance a jig? Yup! Our revitalized spirits! Makes sense, right? BTW, If you've not yet considered the difference between 'Determined' and 'relentless', may I respectfully suggest that There's no better time than now ... |
