"The Difference between the Impossible and the Possible Lies in a Person's Determination".Tommy Lacorda

                 Determination plays a most vital role in achieving person's success in life. It molds and prepare the person to press onward in spite of his limitations and circumstances itself. Many works cease because the person was not prepared for the opposition and criticism about his integrity-the discouragement was just too much.Every good work and step that the person's make to reach his dreams and goals in life, is unavoidable that there are those  who will try to stop it, try to pull him down which leads the person's to discouragement and lack of confidence that's why he will withdraw for becoming of who he is in the future.He will think that all things are impossible for him to reach!But if determination will be rooted in person's heart and mind, he could learn confidence to face criticism in two ways:He will come to realize that criticism and obstacle are steps to strengthen his integrity that he can and that criticism work is nothing new and he will grow in his ability to step out on faith and courage because he will realize that he is not alone-there are people who give their endlessly support and love to him and most especially God is there that will strengthen  him to continue to work out and achieve his desirable goals and dreams in life in spite of opposition.

Here's an inspiring story about determination I would like to share to you.
 
                                     Determination through Opposition
                Jason was a young Christian who had a vision to reach youth. He worked hard to organized a rally as a means to bring gospel to them.His enthusiasm was certainly not lacking as he called others to join him in his vision of winning his peers to Christ.
                   Although there were many who supported Jason's work and shared in it by giving of their time,finances and prayers, Jason quickly learned that with any worthy cause comes opposition. Jason heard the comments firsthand."This is never going to work"."I don't believe anybody will attend, even if it gets organized."Some questioned his integrity-"Jason just wants to be the boss or "he has to be in the limelight".
                    After hearing these comments, it didn't take very long for Jason to begin doubting whether he should continue to try to launch this outreach rally. Then came the other disappointments. People said they would help and then would not show up.Rumors spread that the rally had been canceled due to lack of of interest. The posters, which had already been mailed out, had the main speaker's name misspelled.
                    Jason, however, continued to pray. He continued to seek support from those who shared his vision.He pressed forward despite opposition and doubts,and the rally was held as scheduled.There have been many more rallies in Jason's community since that first one, each having some sort of opposition and each being used by the Lord to further His Kingdom.

Hi ate Mae It's a nice story you write there.If only a person is so open minded that every criticisms he or she gets consider it all as constructive criticisms that person will never be discourage. because we all can't avoid criticisms these things helps us to grow stronger and more determined to reach our goals. Take care and God bless.
