Personal Success & Determination

Achieving peak personal performance and creating personal power begins with a mental strength mindset and empowering beliefs.  Reaching your personal goals starts in the mind and finishes with peak performance…taking massive action.

This is one in a series of mental strength life coaching tips to help start your week of strong so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.

I take one subject and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct questions.  The intention of this virtual ‘life coaching’ session is for you to write the questions in your success journal and then reflect on them and write your answers and thoughts in your journal.

These series of posts are for YOU!  If I’m not able to coach you personally one-on-one or over the phone, I want you to at least get the benefit of a “virtual” mental strength coaching session.

Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

This virtual coaching session is about the role determination plays in achieving your personal goals and personal success.   Denis Waitley said, “Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you. “

We’re going to explore how you think and feel about determination and how determined you really are at making your vision a reality.

Let’s Get Started:

“Determination, energy, and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context.” – Margaret J. Wheatley.

Determination is one of the corner stones of mental strength. With determination all personal goals can be accomplished.  With out, there is just mental weakness.  All great achievements have three things in common; they came from one idea in one person’s mind with the determination to make it a reality.

Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Mental Strength Thinking:

• Do you believe high achievers are more determined than the average person?
• Can determination be enhanced, or are you born with a fixed amount of it?
• Can a person’s level of determination be quantified?

Unsupported Beliefs about Determination

• Determination is something you either have or you don’t.
• You cannot create determination.
• People without determination are lazy.

Mental Strength Beliefs about Determination

• Determination comes from clarity of purpose.
• Determination is strengthened by belief.
• Determination is essential for achieving personal success.

Outrageous Questions:

• Do your habits, actions and behaviors reflect your determination?
• What level of determination do your results reflect?
• What does your level of determination say about your personal goals and your belief in yourself?

Reflective Questions:

• Do you have the determination required to manifest your vision of personal success?
• On a scale of 1-9, 9 being most determined, how determined are you?
  • How do you know this?
• What would motivate you to become completely determined to reach your personal goals and manifest your vision of personal success?

Mental Strength Coaching:

One of my primary virtual coaching goals here is to help you understand your level of determination toward yourself and your goals and vision.  Chances are I am the only person who has ever talked or coached you around this subject.  It might take some time to grasp this mental strength skill.

Making you aware of how you rate in this area is critical.  This virtual life coaching session is about tying your level determination back to your vision of personal success.  Without a vision, this might come across as just another thing to think about that you don’t “have time” for. It is crucial to connect your vision to your level of determination.

Final Thought

The mental strength skill of determination follows a strong belief in self and a vision.  If most people believed they could attain great personal success, you can bet they would be determined to go for it.  My job here again is to help you believe it is possible and they you can make it happen!
