Commit to the Commitment, Part III

August 29, 2012

When you do commit to something — getting better grades, getting in shape/losing weight, even writing a book it’s not enough to simply say, “I am committed,” and sit back and wait for success to happen.  Oh no, you must make it happen.  You do that by committing to the commitment.

You must make that commitment your whole world.  Your whole day must be structured around that commitment.  Let’s say you commit to getting into better physical shape.  But you are an IJNC girl so you will do more.  You will commit to getting into the best physical shape you can.  To do this you will have to get up early to go running.  But you must do more than set the alarm.  You must get to bed early the night before.  You must keep on top of your laundry so you always have clean workout clothes available.  You may have to cut into your shower, hair and makeup time because, for that moment, until your goal is met, that stuff is not the priority.  You have not committed to having great hair. You have committed to getting in shape, to being the most fit you that you can be.  That is how true winners — Olympians — get the job done.  Who better to model success and commitment than someone who’s taken their accomplishments to the highest level?
