All week we have been talking about our habits and questioning ourselves about the level of commitment we need to have to succeed. Habits, commitment, and motivation, these are very powerful words.
What does it mean to be committed?
I suppose for everyone it looks different because there are different levels of commitment. Depending on what we are committing ourselves too. We commit to our spouses, our children, our family and friends. But those are different commitments than if we are committed to exercise in order to lose weight. Right? The magnitude is obviously not as big, but what’s the common ground?
I think one of the biggest factors in being committed, whether it’s to a person, a job, an ideal, a goal, is the action you put towards your commitment. Let me say this again, the action you put towards the commitment!
Have you ever heard that actions speak louder than words? You show you are committed when you act over and over. Just saying it isn’t enough. Love is a verb right? It’s what you do to show the other person you love them. Commitment is a verb. It’s more than just saying you have this goal to organize, it’s about doing the work and getting organized! It’s about setting up the right systems and staying committed in making them work.
If your actions are not speaking louder than your words, than are you fully committed? As we saw in the last blog post, the number one reason people fail on their diets, is lack of commitment.
You have to think, plan, and then you have to do….
Happy Organizing!
