The Power of Commitment

" Even if you're on the right track,  you'll get run over if you just sit there." ~Will Rogers~

Do you ever sit around and analyze (and over-analyze) why you haven’t produced the results you are committed to producing? Do you surround yourself with spreadsheets, charts, lists, analyses, and other research tools? Do you keep waiting for things to change so conditions are optimum before you take the first step? Well, guess what? This is it. You have no other time. Your life is not a dress rehearsal. If you want something, now is the time to go for it. Do something, and do something now. You can spend your whole life looking for the answer to the question “why?” and it won’t change anything about the present, and won’t create anything for the future. 

Stop letting your fear of the unknown or of failure stop you from taking action. When did playing it safe become your life commitment? And, if lack of a valuable commitment that lights you up is at the root of your stagnation, change your commitments. Get really, really committed to what you really, really want…not what you think you are supposed to want for your life and your business, but to what you really want.

You can talk all day, have meetings, make written reports, make lists out of your lists and review them until the cows come home. But people who accomplish great things TAKE ACTION! So don’t just sit there… do something, sell something, create something, change something, volunteer for something! Do something bold!

Turn off your pacifying, hypnotizing distracters—the television, your iPad, Snapchat, your computer, and the half-eaten bag of potato chips... and get moving.

Let’s get real here. Procrastination has been defined as “the deliberate act of excessive postponing.” Notice that word….deliberate. That means it’s a choice! Don’t fall into the trap of thinking all your excuses/reasons for not getting things done…those things you tell yourself…are the truth. The truth is in your actions. You always have the power to choose your actions, no matter the circumstances. Choose to get unstuck!

Yoda had it right… “Do, or do not. There is no ‘try’”.
