Determination
Poem
Onaefe Umenu Edebi
Determination is not the absence of obstacles in the road of life.
It is not a senseless zeal in pursuit of an abyss
It is not a figment of the mind from which imaginary energy is drawn
It is not the giving up or giving in that is common on most days
It is not the regression from a task due to fear
It is not the catalyst to see our visions and dreams fulfilled
Rather
Determination is the pressing forth, through obstacles in the road of life
It is a rightly grounded passion in pursuit of a vision
It is an awareness of the reality of an energy drawn from within
It is the breaking through that is not common on most days
It is the progression beyond fear in any task
It is an active ingredient to see our visions and dreams fulfilled
These and the likes are the core of what determination really is.
