We all have wants, needs, desires, and goals throughout the entire course of our lives. The question being, “How many of us really acquire the things that we set out to do in life?” One of the reasons that we fall short of accomplishing our goals is that we fall short of the commitments that we make. When you set out to accomplish a goal you have GOT to commit yourself to pursuing that goal each and every day until you reach that goal. Once you break that commitment to going the distance you have instantly ended any chance of ever reaching your goal.

Let me give you several examples:

1 A person who is overweight makes the commitment to setting a realistic goal to losing 25 pounds of weight over the next two months. The commitment being is commiting yourself to exercise daily and eating healthy food everyday to reach that two month goal. Once you break that commitment the goal set becomes null and void.

2 A person makes a commitment to want to learn acoustic guitar. They find a good beginner’s guitar book and make the commitment to practice each and every day to learn that book and go on to the next book. After two-thirds of the way through the book the commitment is broken and the initial goal of learning the guitar is never attained. Realize in life that if you are going to commit yourself to something you have to commit yourself to the very end if you are going to achieve success.

3 A person decides that they want to make a career change in their lives. This time the individual realizes the fact that they have to set their goal and road-map the steps that it is going to take to get there. They determine if this goal for them is, indeed, a realistic one and can be accomplished and then if it can, make that commitment to commiting themselves each and everyday of their lives to disciplining themselves each and every day until that goal is reached. To that person who fulfilled the commitment their visions of dreams then become a reality.

Commitment is just one of the steps required to accomplish your goal in life, but it is a very important one that has got to be carried through from the very first step until you reach the destination where your goal lies and the final step to get there. In some cases commitment to a goal or reward is a lifelong commitment. No one can succeed in life without a commitment to success. Nobody forces you into making any commitment. That commitment is totally up to you. Whether your life remains a vision of dreams or becomes a reality totally depends on if you are ready to commit yourself to making the commitment.
