Commitment is primary factor which is truly indicative of goal success. Full, 100% commitment. We have all tried to accomplish goals, and sometimes we accomplish them and sometimes we don’t. And it all come down to commitment. How bad do you want it?
Now don’t get me wrong, there will always be non-modifiable factors which influence goal success but why fret or be concerned with things we cannot control. Instead we give 100% commitment to the modifiable or controllable factors which influence goal success.
I am surrounded by commitment all the time. In my personal life, with my family members, and in my professional life.
Personally, I have specific goals for my own health and life. Over many years, some goals have been easier to accomplish than others and it’s all due to one thing- commitment. Sometimes there were times I thought I was committed, but I was just trying to force myself into changing behaviors when I really didn’t want to. Subconsciously I didn’t really want it that bad.
My husband epitomizes the word commitment. As an Olympic Athlete, he trains for four years to make an Olympic Team. He trains for four years regardless of whether, having a bad day, or a really busy work day. After three Olympic Games he has showcased the meaning of commitment.
Professionally I see students and clients select goals to advance their health, and depending on their commitment to the goal will determine their success. It all comes down to commitment. I see it all the time.
Lastly, this weekend I visited Boston to watch the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships where elite athletes compete for national titles. There were hundreds of elite athletes who were present at this national championship meet and the only way they all got there… Was though commitment. And it made the event all the more exciting.
We desire to change certain behaviors but changing behaviors is difficult. Nicely enough, commitment is a modifiable factor. WE decide our level of commitment. Nobody else gets to choose our level of commitment. We are in control and we decide if we will be successful. We must decide if we are willing to fully commit to the goal…
Be uncomfortable. To persevere and become comfortable amist the uncomfortable. Basically be comfortable in the uncomfortable.
Spearhead into unknown territory and challenge ourselves, because true greatness and success comes with challenges.
Commit to planning ahead for success. Failing to plan is planning to fail. We all know that. But we must do it.
We can control these factors. So identify what goal(s) are realistic and attainable for you… Plan ahead and give your full, 100% commitment. If there’s anyone how can do it, it’s you.
