The Power of Commitment

​Are you committed to creating on purpose or re-creating by default?
 
We are always committed to something, whether it is a conscious choice or a mindless reaction.
 
Consciously committing to a particular goal means that we are deciding how to spend our time and what to focus on. It means that we are the agents of change in our lives and feel empowered to creating desired experiences in our lives.
 
Commitment by default means that we are committed to creating more of the same. By not choosing where to focus our energy, we spend our time mindlessly reacting to anything that comes our way and thus continuously recreating the same unwanted experiences.
 
Knowing what you’re committed to is important because what you spend your time on is either helping you grow and advance or it’s keeping you stuck.
 
What you’re committed to, you will keep finding evidence for and you will keep being better at.
So the question is:
 
Do you want to be better at creating experiences on purpose or do you want to be better at re-creating more of the same?
 
If you are not sure what you are committed to, observe what you do daily and how you spend your time. Check in with yourself:

• Are you intentionally choosing to engage in those activities?
• Is what you doing bringing you closer to your desired future?
• Are you spending time on what you say is important to you?
