Success Boldism #1: Be Committed

 How committed are you if you don't reach your goal?

10%, 50%, 80% or are you 100%-THIS MUST GET DONE.

I can tell you from experience that the level of commitment decides how much effort you put into a goal, a project, a change in habit, a dream. If you aren't 100% committed to a goal, you'll not put in a 100% focus, 100% sweat equity, 100% belief, 100% drive towards the completion of this goal. You'll look outwardly for the answers. Maybe it's time management, maybe I need to buy a new membership to this, maybe a new planner, maybe I need to read another book.

Or maybe you need to have a talk with yourself. Ask these questions:

Are you really, truly, 100% committed to the end goal? Do you even have a clear one?

What is the inner conflict around the goal?

You want to start a side hustle, but.....

You want to lose 10 pounds, but......,

You want to go for that promotion, but.....

I want to ask for that raise, but.......

I want to hire a coach, but....

I want to change this ________, but....

That which follows "but" is your conflict that is your nemesis. Your STOP sign. It will keep you from committing to your goal 100%.

Change is scary when you don't have a strong WHY, a strong reason to continue the hard days when you just want to quit. It is why you get up and get up and mediate at 5:30am.

It is why you don't pick up your phone first thing in the morning and choose social media and email. You choose to sit down to prime your mind for the day because it is that important to you that your mind isn't hijacked by others.

It is the reason why you read your goals, write down one thing that you must focus on daily and then get it done no matter what. 

I am not asking for anyone to be completely ready, but I am asking for your commitment to the change. The promise you made to yourself, you must keep.

You will be disrupting your status quo and your mind will fight you against it. It's the ego's job to keep you comfortable and safe. However, what it doesn't know is that this change is not dangerous. What is dangerous is breaking the promise to yourself. What is dangerous is quitting on your dreams. What is dangerous is not even trying it because it will be too much work. What is dangerous is ignoring the voice that keeps whispering to you of its present dissatisfaction with the results you have created with your fear. Fear speaks but your courage, your commitment, your promise, your declaration over your purpose will speak louder. Fear will subside and walk back into the corner because the love and respect you feel for yourself is far deeper, grander, larger than any ego that wants comfort and laziness.

Don't settle. Ever. You'll regret it. You'll be sorry you didn't go for your dream. I promise you that.

If you need support, I am here for you. However, we need to help you identify the one core reason why you MUST go for your goal. That will hold you responsible when you are weak.

Stay bold, stay alive and stay committed to your dream.
