Clarity - focus - Commitment
In this short inspiration and motivation letter we’ll focus on commitment.
Let’s start with my all time favourite quote (I’ve experienced this truth myself):
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!”
And here it is from Les Brown.
He says you can only have two things in life: Reasons or Results.
Reasons don’t count. Reasons are all the excuses for why we don’t live our dream life or haven’t achieved out goals.
People don’t get the results they want because they don’t honour their commitments to themselves.
Why are people scared of commitment? Because then they have to deliver! So they say “I’ll try” .. but that’s an escape root. There is no such thing as “try”. You either do it or you don’t.
As William H. Murray says: “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness…”
So if you are being hesitant about going all in on one of your dreams or goals, here is some great and simple action advice from Les Brown on how to honour your commitment. – starts at minute 8:57.
What will it be? Which goal or dream have you been holding back on? Do you want it? Do you really really want it?
What is your next action step towards this goal?
Your attitude (thoughts – feelings – actions) = your results!
A great attitude (commitment, consistency, massive action) =
Great Results!
