Commitment: Your Key To Success

In order to reach your goal, the first thing you need to have is Commitment. Without it, you progress from where you are today. Without commitment, there will be no success.

A true commitment is a heart felt promise to yourself, from which you will NOT give up, no matter what the circumstances may be! Once you start, there is no stopping until you get there.

Yes, there maybe some turns in the road, but keeping yourself committed to your goals will get you there. Someone who is not committed to their own success will see challenges as roadblocks, stopping them from reaching new levels in their lives. But people with commitment will see things differently.

They do not accept failure as an option. They see challenges as signs that their efforts need to be modified or redirected to get them to their goal.

They willingly look for new and better ways to do something and then do it. They focus on eliminating the problem and confronting head on what is not working. There are no roadblocks in the mind of a committed person; they are merely suggestions for detours that will still take them where they ultimately want to go.

Each of us have the same opportunity to make such a commitment to success, and it requires some work and determination on our part. The reward for doing so is attaining the success that you've always dreamed of.

Many people have good intentions and dreams, but only a few are willing to commit to what is necessary to achieve them. Do a review on your commitment level, ask yourself these questions and be honest with the answers.
• How badly do I want to achieve my dreams?
• What will achieving my dreams mean to me?
• What price am I willing to pay to make this happen?
• Do I believe I can?

The ability to achieve your goals and dreams will be determined by the level to which YOU are willing to commit. NOTHING is as important as this fact!

Think of athletes or performers in any field. The endless hours of practice and learning, the lack of a social life, the defeats, the huge amount of sacrifices and challenges these people have to meet so they can fulfill their dreams. Only YOU can decide whether the rewards you strive for are worth the effort.

A serious commitment to a goal does not mean you have to take all the joy and fun out of life. Laughter and humor are an integral part of the human make up. Integrate fun into your daily goals.

Take each day as it comes and take your commitments in daily bite-sized pieces. You can do without mental indigestion! A house is built one brick at a time. An artist paints one stroke at a time! As Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop”
