Determination is a positive emotional feeling that promotes persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles. Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one's goal. Motivation encourages determination and pushes the person forwards so they can face their problem. Determination also helps people be brave.
