Are you committed to you mission?
Is your vision as clear as crystal? Is it so clear in your mind that you could almost reach out and tickle it?
Do you have a strong enough reason (or reasons) to stay the course?
Most people fail, not because they lack the ability or the resources or the knowledge. They fail because they don’t stay the course. They get seduced by one distraction after another. Then get their asses spray painted, gift-wrapped and handed to them on a silver platter.
So, be the kind of person who honors their commitments and sticks with the good fight right down to the last walnut. And never make a commitment that you aren’t fully prepared to keep. This not only makes you a person of valor and honor, but it also makes you a trustworthy person in the eyes of everyone in your circle. Plus, it makes you an amazing role model for your Children, Siblings, and even your Pets.
Now, before you get all pumped and commit to something grandiose like crossing the Sahara in your pajamas, start out with a few smaller things. Here are a few suggestions to get you going:
- Clean up the Garage that you had procrastinated over for 22 years
- Take your spouse on that long overdue Balloon ride
- Get your Cat enrolled at a skydiving school to help it overcome its fear of heights
- Refrain from doing any Bank Robberies during the holidays
Below is a little formula to make all of the above (or whatever “legal” thing you have in your mind) “actionable”.
Commit > Schedule (on a Calender) > Prepare > Execute
Oh, and start today! Otherwise you’ll also have to pin this to your list of “daydreams”.
