Being Determined vs. Being Stubborn

I have always been very driven, ever since I can remember. When I set my mind to something I do everything I can to achieve my goal. Most times it’s a strength; however there have been times that it has been a weakness. Everything in my life I have had to work very hard to obtain. Of course I have not done it alone; Heavenly Father always seems to be a step ahead of me putting people into my life to teach me something new or to help me along my way. There have been so many people who have been a saving grace for me and how grateful I am for each and every kind deed done to help me to become better. I would not be where I am today without the countless people who have helped along the way.

Too often I mix being driven and going after what I want with being stubborn. I can be hard headed at times and not as forgiving as I should. I can give countless examples of being stubborn. Anyone that knows me well, I am sure can think of a time when I have been very stubborn and hard headed. I hope I am getting better at not being so stubborn.
