COMMIT 100%

COMMIT 100%

"The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."Vince Lombardi

Commitment matters. To step up to the next level, commitment matters. Commitment means keeping your words. Taking the leap. Trying when giving up is easy. Embracing discomfort. Running to your fears. Daring to stand out from the crowd. Commitment means leading your life, not just living it, and be the best you. 

Living your dreams is never the result of an accident. Nothing changes overnight. Success meets only those who show resolve and courage to invest in pursuing their dream life. They devote their heart, mind, and soul in line with their purpose. Committed people use their time, intelligence, and resources with laser focus to move toward their desired future.

It doesn't matter which profession you are in; if you commit to excellence, you will stand out from the crowd. Success eludes those who remain shaky when it is time to demonstrate dedication. Commitment is the live demonstration of purpose and passion in action. Nothing has ever been achieved by any human being without commitment. 

WHAT IS COMMITMENT?

'Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation, there is sure to be a failure.' Confucius

Commitment is a pledge to keep going regardless of whatever comes in the way. It's an assurance of effort, struggles, determination. Making a commitment means you will never give up. It's a promise to continue your search for a better tomorrow. Commitment is a declaration of not leaving a goal in the middle. Committing 100% means guaranteeing to apply all your force, energy, and sweat to do whatever it takes to make quest dreams a reality.  

100% commitment turns nothing into something. 100% commitment can move mountains. 100% commitment can make a dent in the universe. 100% commitment is an oath to be your very best: to polish your skills, master the strategies, overcome your weaknesses, surmount your shortcomings, and defeat the odds. 

Commitment 100% means giving your 100% and being prepared to sacrifice your time, energy, resources, money, rest, and sleep to realize your goals.

Commitment means risking everything you have and standing by to pay the price no matter what it is for achieving your vision and making a firm decision to never give in until you get what you want.  

MIRACLE OF COMMITMENT

You see, greatness for a state doesn't require some massive monument for all to see. It is not a journey to a particular destination - but a commitment to follow a course of constant and never-ending improvement. -    Sonny Perdue

Commitment breeds ownership. When you are committed to a relationship, you begin to own that person. You feel for the person. You do your best to make that person feel protected, loved, cared, and comforted. You take a stand for the person. Similarly, when you commit to achieving a goal, you exhibit the highest devotion and resolve. You never leave the goal in the middle of the road alone you fully commit to. 

Commitment ignites a renewed sense of responsibility. When fully committed, people take full responsibility for making their dream real. The blames and complaints run away automatically. There is no room for excuses in your life. 

Remember when you were fully committed to attending the wedding ceremony of a friend in a remote city. You overcame all the constraints of money, resources, and time because you were ready to think creatively. You found innovative solutions to every problem that raised on the day. 

When in a commitment frame of mind, people focus on finding a solution rather than sticking to the problems. Solution-mindedness opens the doors of new opportunities to you. When committed, people never accept 'No' as an answer. They always find their way. 

TEST OF COMMITMENT

If you schedule it, you commit to doing it.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. -    Abraham Lincoln

To me, the only test of commitment is time. What does that mean? 

If I am really committed to something, I will take time out to work on it. Whether it is a relationship or a goal, if you are fully committed to it, you will always find the time. 

Person A: I am committed to staying fit and healthy

Person B: What was the last time you found yourself in the gym or park for exercise?

Person A: I can't remember exactly, but it was some three months before!

You can see the level of commitment here?

If you are genuinely committed to doing something, you will indeed find time in your schedule to get it done. Conversely, if a goal fails to find some space in your daily schedule, you are obviously not fully committed. 

What you are genuinely committed to reflecting in your goals, priorities, and, most importantly, daily schedules. 

You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, life will give you some answers. -    Les Brown

Who doesn't want to be a winner? To win, you need to stick to a plan. That requires commitment—daily intensity. Your commitment is reflected in your daily living. When not fully committed, you respond to the most vociferous voices around. You sacrifice your own priorities. Committing 100% is not doing the wrong things faster. It is doing the right thing only. 

What is the opposite of commitment? Compromise! When we compromise, we settle on less than the best. We give up on your dreams. We end up selling our dreams and exchange them with pains, dissatisfaction, and emptiness. By compromising on less than the best, we stop us from becoming all we are meant to be. We withhold the gifts given to us by our creator. We live a life of mediocrity, guilt, and shame. 

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determined and committed to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Mario Andretti
