A Spotlight On Commitment



A Spotlight On Commitment
   

"The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it's not without doubt but in spite of doubt." - Rollo May I go to a Boxercise class regularly. It is a fabulous way to get and keep fit, and also to work out any frustrations you might be carrying around with you. It is also fun! However, it is not for the faint-hearted. All of the people who come along and keep on coming really put the effort in. We work on getting the techniques right, with punches and kicks, as well as on our general fitness with abdominal exercises, press-ups and other exercises. What is more, we are all different shapes and sizes, at different levels of fitness, but that doesn’t seem to matter. There is a common bond between us, resulting in lots of sweat and lots of laughter.

It made me think about commitment. Especially about how committed we are to everything we do. I am committed to giving the best possible service to my clients, because I feel passionately about their hopes and dreams and aspirations, almost as if they were my own. I am also committed wholeheartedly to my family. One of the aspects of that is being determined to be as fit and well as I can be, so that I can take care of them, so I take my wellbeing very seriously.

Sometimes it is easy to say, “I really want to do that”, but the words aren’t backed up by effort. What could be the reasons behind this? Maybe we don’t really want to achieve the thing we have said we want, perhaps because we only said it to please someone else, or even because at the time we truly believed it was what we wanted. It could be that we did want it, but we have now changed our minds, realizing that it wasn’t really for us. What do you want to achieve? Do you really want to achieve it? If you do, then it’s time to put your commitment under the spotlight.

Just by committing yourself to what you want to achieve you are more likely to pull it off. Someone who is less than enthusiastic about a task will never put everything they have into it. You need to be dedicated. You will probably need to invest time and effort, as well as have unswerving focus. Take some action, even if it is only the first step. Where do you need to concentrate your attention? Are you clear about your aims? What is your target? Is it is your sights?

One of the things that can stop us from getting started is fear. Fear of trying, fear of failing, fear of success or fear of the unknown. Well, let me tell you, many people feel the same way. You are not alone. And knowing that, do you feel better? I hope so. So go on, do it!

What gets you excited? What fills you with passion? What have you always dreamed of doing? Make a promise to yourself. Pledge to do the best you can for yourself and to put the effort in. Don’t let yourself down.

Don’t wait for things to happen to you. Get active and make things happen for you! If you need to work on your fitness, it won’t improve unless you put the effort in. Application brings results, whether it is at work or elsewhere. Grab any opportunity that comes your way. Take risks. Just by becoming more aware you’ll notice new openings. Go for it!

If you really, really want to do something, you will be more tenacious, more committed. Insist on being engaged, mentally and physically to all that you do, even if it means changing the way you think about it.

How can you focus your creative energy to assist you? Become a performer. Act with assurance. Act with commitment and zeal. It will soon become part of your make-up and you’ll no longer need to act the part.



Concentration and single-mindedness, along with persistence are what are required from now on. Focus your attention and energy where it is needed. Persevere. Hang on in there! Are you dedicated to your own success? Be determined. If things go awry, keep on going, even if it needs to be in another direction. What can you learn from the experience? Turn on the spotlight and commit yourself to your future success.
