The definition of overcoming is “to get the better of in a struggle or conflict; conquer; defeat: to overcome the enemy. It is to prevail over (opposition, a debility, temptations, etc.); surmount: to overcome one's weaknesses. Also, to overpower or overwhelm in body or mind, as does liquor, a drug, exertion, or emotion: I was overcome with grief; to overspread or overrun. Finally, it means to gain the victory; win; conquer: a plan to overcome by any means possible” [dictionary.com].
