“Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.” – Winston Churchill
Everyone wants to be successful. But not everyone wants to commit themselves to do what’s necessary to become successful.
Lots of people dream about and wish for success. But you can’t be successful if all you do is think about it. At some point, you have to convert those thoughts, wishes, and dreams to action.
You may be waiting for inspiration or motivation to commit yourself to your dreams and goals. Don’t wait… just get moving and take a step in the direction of your aspirations. It may seem counter-intuitive, but action precedes motivation.
It starts with your mindset. You’ve got to make the decision that nothing will hold you back or stand in the way of your success. Be determined and expect success.
Don’t be vague about what you want to achieve. It’s hard to commit yourself to something if your vision is not clear and your goal is not specific.
Eliminate distractions and unimportant details, and focus on what’s important.
Be prepared for some challenges and setbacks along the way. Learn from those experiences. Focus on those areas you can control, and do your best to stay on track.
Hold yourself accountable by setting short-term (daily, weekly, etc.) goals; telling others (family, friends, etc.) about what you are doing; and surrounding yourself with like-minded, supportive people. Keep a journal of your progress, and review it regularly.
At times, commitment requires some sacrifice. If you believe in and are fully committed to your goal, you will be willing to sacrifice. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone.
