If you truly want results, you must first determine your goals and commit to doing whatever it takes to achieve them. Change involves commitment. Commitment to yourself is the key to making change last.
How many times have you broken your word? How many times each day do you break your word? If you think you don't break your word, answer some of these questions.
How many times in the last twenty-four hours did you say you'd do something, and you didn't do it?
Perhaps it was phone calls you didn't return, or promised to be on time and were late for something.
Maybe you said you'd eat healthy today, or you'd work out today.
Possibly you said you'd obey all traffic laws, including speeding, or that you'd spend time with someone.
I could go on, but count the times you broke your word. Even if no one else knows you did, or you didn't get caught, one person knows about all of them. YOU.
Each time you break your word you lose some self-esteem. No wonder you doubt your ability to do something, if you break your word daily.
Your word is key to how you create your life.
If you don't really believe or trust yourself, then you won't create what you're really capable of doing. You may convince others that you can do something, but if you have underlying self-doubt, even
if it's unconscious, you will have a tough time completing what you say you want to do.
Keeping your word is essential to making commitments and keeping them.
Commitment begins the instant you decide, really decide, something.
What does it take to do that? How much does it mean to you? What if you look ten years down the road and nothing in your life has changed? How would you feel? How long will it take you to decide to do something different in your life? How long are you willing to wait? What if nothing has changed in five years? How will you feel then? Time moves quicker than you think.

Make the decision to shift your thinking NOW! Commit NOW! To quote the Nike shoe company slogan: "Just Do It." NOW!
Commitment is powerful. It's a declaration to the world that you intend to do something.
