'Determinism'

Determination is an essential quality to nurture if I am to continue on my spiritual journey. No matter how much enthusiasm I have or how clear my aim is, without determination, I will give up sooner or later. Determination is the quiet fire that refuses to flicker, even in the fiercest storm.

It's the steady heartbeat behind every step forward, the "inner will" to rise again when the world says stop. With determination, obstacles become stepping stones, and failure a lesson—not a verdict.
