What happens when we decide to do something, to commit to being someone, to commit to a new way of showing up in the world - AND THEN - we falter, splutter, give up on our once cherished mission, what then, what's our opinion of ourselves?
More importantly (though this is a made up story concocted in our magnificent, destructive minds) and that is, how do we think others now see and view us?
For most, we look for the escape hatch, the avoidance route, the way out. We take comfort in anything that doesn't remind us of our avowed goal or mission.
So how can we keep ourselves committed to doing what it is we say we want?
Commitment is nothing more than creating and delivering on a set of actions that'll move us towards getting what we say we want.
And if the outcome
of the committed actions doesn't inspire us, why on earth would we want to commit to achieving something in the first place?
Now there's no greater demonstration of the power of commitment than the burning house and there being something in there we HAVE to get before the whole thing crumbles.
If your relative or pet was inside that burning house, you're not simply going to sit around and ponder and pontificate about the tragedy of the scenario - you're going to get into some sort of action to GET THEM OUT... no matter what.
That's COMMITMENT.
If you say you want a Mr Universe physique, you can dream it and create a plan of sorts. Maybe working out a few days a week.
Or, you can have dates, timelines, a definite picture of how you want to be and look like. You can have your nutrition charts and your muscle activity charts, measuring your daily performance. You can visualise the c
ompetition and you can see yourself competing with the best, you can see yourself being the best.
And, there's a daily activity plan to support it all.
That's a COMMITTED way.
And we can all be committed to something, anything we choose, to any level and degree we choose.
Did you know that there's a place in our minds where we automatically put the things we say we are powerfully committed to - and that place is there to serve us, the very moment we powerfully declare what it is we are up to?
And that's whatever we say we are committed to - having super personal relationships, writing a book, having a lucr
ative business, having a tidy house, a super marketing system, an accurate thinking process... whatever it is, if we want it and we make it a commitment, a TRUE, powerful internal commitment, we'll get it.

A relationship was formed. A POWERFUL commitment was created. And then, the ACTIONS were created to make Deuce Luiti BE TBOLITNFL - The Best Offensive Lineman in The National Football League.
