  1. Determination. Thats all you need. Strive. Run. Jump. Fly. Conquer the world. That’s all you have to do.

    Self motivation. Self motivation is determination.

    Passion. Passion is determination.

    Self worth and self respect. That is determination.

  2. To be determined is to know. To know what one wants, and to know oneself in the process. To be determined is to know how to get about it as well. Also, to know how to get it. If not, to find out. And stick to it. like their life depends on it. Or worse- their dream. For without dreams, there is no life. And no dream can become life if the dreamer is not determined.

  3. –determined not to fail now, now, at this crucial hour, when finally she had something to lose. she climbed. her fingers scrabbled desperately at the bark, reaching and reaching for a new grip when it came away like a peeling bandaid under her fingers. the ash tree was ancient, so wide across that she could press herself flat against its trunk and spread her arms out to their full length and her fingertips would still not reach its sides.

    soon, a burst of clean open air hit her flushed face. gasping, noticing for the first time how rapidly her heart was beating, she clambered up and perched delicately on narrowest part of the branch, elevating her body up and out of the leaves. the sweat began to cool on her body, but the sun beat down and kept her skin warm.

    her wings unfurled at her back, beating restlessly, more powerful than she had ever believed any part of herself capable of being. she shimmied forward on her branch to the place where it arched out and over the plunging cliffside.

    she jumped.

  4. Every since he had gone… Well every since she sensed he might be going… She had been preparing herself for the tumultuous ride she would embark on. Determined to rise above that conflict and that attitude and that sorrow and that bitterness. Love herself before anyone else.

  6. I am determined to finish what’s on my to do list. Determined to finish my goals I have set up for my self, determined to once and for all finish them. I am determined to complete what I never have, but in all, am I really?

  7. I want to. No I really don’t, you left me to want and need, and I am determined to need you, with all your holes. Determined to widen them, to rip you apart, maybe I’m the one determined to be whole, but your imperfections will never mask the memories and allergies you’ve made of me.

  9. It’s hard to always be determined but when people are determined, it makes the world a better place on the whole. without determination, no one would get anywhere. it separates the weak from the strong, the smart from the dumb. the lovers and the fighters

  10. Determined. She was not sure what it meant: the fact that her mind was made up; she need to back off, tu run away from him. Or was it that meeting him was actually the Gods’ design?

  11. I am determined. Sometimes I have trouble feeling determined as much as i should. I need to be determined to accomplish everything i want to in my life. There is so much that i am capable of, but without determination it is worthless. I need to find my strong determination and work ethic and never give up.

  12. I scrubbed harder, determined to make my family work again. The dust found a safe haven in my throat and nostrils, but I kept rubbing at the wooden surface until I saw shine. I was old enough to not stand back and watch the fights and sloth envelop my parents and sister. I took action the only way I knew how:

    A little writing and a lot of love.

  13. I am determined to be successful. Determination comes from within. It starts when you’re young and based off of your ideas and learned behavior develops over time. Not many people are determined. A lot of my friends are lazy but with a little determination could go really far. I hope some day that determination exists in everyone and stays with me. It is easy to slip away.

  16. She is determine to fail because she can’t do anything else right.
    Failing and losing and not being anyone’s choice: these are the only things she is good at. So she will fail and she will do so to everyone’s lowest expectations. She will not fight it, she will thrive in it. When you’re a failure, it is everything and anything.

  17. I thought, and thought. I really couldn’t get anything through my head though. I’m done; I’m spent. There’s no room left for a dry writer in this world. Soon…
    Days later I was looking at the rope in my hands, and it came to me. A story–nay, my story needs to be told.

  18. There’s a path of ants crawling down my leg,
    I can’t move myself to shake them off,
    to disrupt their evenly formed line,
    one by one, each following the only abdomen in sight,
    never straying from the invisible road,
    only seen with tiny feelers that can sense their own presence,
    a shard of metal catches light and illuminates my ligament,
    captivated, I just sit there casting shadows with my eyes.

  19. She was determined to see this plan through to the end. She breathing hitched, but she couldn’t quit now. All those weeks of staying up past midnight, slaving away at her computer, and finally she could see the end. She could do this.

  20. I am determined to deter the fog
    I blew and blew and blew as it cam in as thick as pea soup
    But no matter how I blew
    It came
    Faster
    Faster
    Till I couldn’t even see my feet
    Or my fingers
    And i stood
    Alone on the earth
    In the fog

  21. I am determined to be the best
    The best there ever was
    I gotta catch’em all
    Pokémon
    I must travel across the land
    Searching far and wide
    These pokémon to understand, the power that’s inside!!

  22. pushing forward, giving up is an option
    will you keep trying anyway?

  23. i am deterrmined to do well in sports this year. I want to impress my grandfather. I want to make him happy, and also proud of me. I feel he is only proud of my athletic accomplishments, but I know he’s not. It only seems like that sometimes. I am also determined to do well in show choir.

  24. I am determined to do the things that i love to do and to pursue the life that i want to live. It takes more determinasion to hate then it does to love. Love the things you do and it wont be hard to do the things you love. I am determined to own my life and to do the things i love.

  27. I am not determined. I feel like shit, quite frankly. My feet are chunks of lead tied to the ground. My arms hang heavily at my sides, dead limbs swaying in the breeze. My tongue is dry, my mind is foggy.
    I fight to take a breath, and find a reason to carry on.
    I have to finish this.

  29. I do not lack determination. I am quite determined to succeed at whatever I attempt. However, determination can be somewhat fickle. It’s a burning passion to push and be more. All of that fire without direction will surely lead to being consumed, though. I fear that I will never truly be successful until I can combine that drive with some direction. Oh, if only I could find that direction.

  30. I am determined to get you back. I had you, and I won’t let go now.

  31. They were determined – on a mission – sent by the god that gave them orders – the government. And they sought to carry on that mission – to save as many lives as possible, in whatever way they could.

  32. There is a constant longing to prove yourself to others. You have no idea where it comes from, but it drives you to do your best no matter how hard it may seem. Forever, you strive to improve yourself. Eventually, it leads to your downfall. You push yourself too far. Your friends begin to find your intensity too much and too constant. They can not connect with your incessant need to be better than you were the day before. Not only do you drive your friends away, you drive your body into the ground as you do not allow yourself to rest. You become rundown and increasingly frustrated as you can not do as much as before. Only in your old age, do you realize that you never focused your determination in the right areas. If only you had gone through with the areas that truly interested you, instead of pushing to dabble and be competent in every area.

  33. i am determined to study! i am determined to go for what i want and what i deserve. i don’t care what i have to do, but I’m determined to get there. that’s the secret to life; being determined about what you love, in order to determine what you don’t love.

  34. Grit. Fight. Words do not control who I am. They only act as a means to express who I am. When things go wrong, you fight for a way to make it right. Some things will set people off more than most, but only by being determined do we find most what we are looking for.

  35. I have shown that I am sheerly determined to distract myself from writing a 8 page paper for my final project tomorrow. poetry will have to suffice, because now in the 11th hour, I’m determined to write half of it before I go to sleep

  36. They broke through the chains with a force, the likes of which could only be found in angry elephants and dying rattlesnakes. They charged through the walls and into our hearts. Forever.

  38. i am determined to do well in my work, determined to do something that i love and something that makes me happy. i am determined to become the person i wish to be and someone that is true to myself. i don’t want to be consumed by the opinions of others and i am determined to stay who i am and what i believe in. i am determined to be successful and positive and kind hearted and passionate about what i do.

  39. Destined, desire
    Enough, enough
    To, to
    Emerce, entwine
    Remorse, relentlessly
    Mindlessly, murderously
    Intwined, in
    Needles, need
    End, enough
    Disaster, to Die
