Determined Character Trait

The determined character trait of an individual focuses on what it will take to achieve the goal; then provides the willpower, tenacity and resolve to achieve it. A determined person's goals and aspirations are mission #1, without question. Set your mind to do something and you do it.

One must be a strategic thinker and purposeful decision maker with strong convictions. Some people may see the determined character trait as a stubborn or obsessed quality due to one's relentless pursuit to do something. But one could argue that relentless tenacity will likely be required in everyone's life at some point. In the case of the determined individual, the satisfaction of accomplishment and of getting something done as intended occurs more frequently, because it is the passion that drives the determined person.

Bottom line, having a strong determined character means you likely make up your mind to do something, and you get it done.
