January 13, 2012 - Last Word on Commitment

There are hundreds of books and tapes available from many experts who tell us how to be successful in achieving our goals.  It takes commitment, action and perseverance.  

At times, however it is easy to get so focused on the goal, that we forget about living in the beauty of the moment and taking care of ourselves.  We are so focused on arriving at the destination that we forget to enjoy the journey along the way. Personally, I think that the fun part about a goal is the initial idea, preparation and the baby steps that we take to move us little closer to achieving the goal.  It gives purpose to each day.  Granted, there is nothing more satisfying than the feeling of accomplishment once the goal is achieved,  but  the path to getting there is the real adventure.   

Of course, after the celebration, it will be time to set the next goal.  Such is life.  Enjoy the journey of each blessed day.

Tony Robbins: The Power of Commitment

By MindBodyGreen

"I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret." -- Tony Robbins

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
