Are you committed or just interested?

(RP)

Sort of need this for myself and hope it helps someone else stay in check too. Commitment is what changes the path we take. I am fully committed this time around.

Here’s what 100% COMMITTMENT looks like:
~ If you are committed to your goal then there are no excuses, only results
~ You have discipline – It’s just part of your daily practice
~ It’s a done deal
~ You’ve made the decision – you’re committed to making it happen
~ You don’t have to think about it anymore. The decision has been made – you’re doing it
~ There is no debate in your head
~ Life is easier and you have focus
~ This is not negotiable
~ You observe the boundaries you’ve made to make this happen
~ You turn up every day despite obstacles and not feeling like it no matter what the circumstances

Here’s what just being INTERESTED looks like:
~ You do it inconsistently – only when you remember or ‘feel like it’
~ You can find excuses NOT to do it
~ You wake up each morning fighting the voices in your head over whether to ‘do it’ today or ‘not’ or ‘I’ll start it tomorrow’
~ You make excuses during the day to justify your lack of commitment to this goal. “I haven’t got the time.” “It’s not my fault.” “I should have…” “I’m too tired.” “I deserve a day off.”
~ You make hesitant attempts to start but easily give up
~ You’re still fighting with the decision even though you’ve already made it
~ You (and the committee in your head) debates the topic over and over
~ You feel frustrated because you know what you should do, you just don’t do it!

100% Committment looks a lot like being a Harda$$. Embrace it!!
