a lesson in learning how to think today: In my conversations with Carlos DeJesus today.
I am Determined!
It is set in the mind to go forward unwavering without fear, doubt, or discouragement.
I won’t Surrender! I can’t Surrender! Surrender is not part of my vocabulary.
Surrender: to give (oneself) up to some influence, course, emotion, etc.:
to give up, abandon, or relinquish (comfort, hope, etc.).
Determined:
de-ter (de tur) , to frighten: see TERROR to keep or discourage (a person, group, or nation) from doing something by instilling fear, anxiety, doubt, etc.
mind --set one's mind on to be determined on or determinedly desirous of
de-ter-mined (-mnd) adj. 1 having one's mind made up; decided; resolved 2 resolute; unwavering --de-termined-ly adv. --de-termined-ness n.
of unwavering mind; resolute; firm
Is to be determined to be the opposite of being deterred?
Yes, but look at the word deter
de-ter (de tur) , to frighten: see TERROR to keep or discourage (a person, group, or nation) from doing something by instilling fear, anxiety, doubt, etc.
It means,(to me) to go forward without fear, terror, doubt or discouragement- which can distract ( and rob) from the set goal- very important.
To NOT be deterred! is to be full of belief and faith.
Yes, and look at where we are to make that choice- in the mind. Having a mind that will not be deterred!
"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind"
I realize this is the day, because I no longer feel afraid!
Pretty powerful stuff.
