Daily motivation - January 1, 2009
Year 2008 ends and we are in the New Year 2009. I believe, of course, we had passed so many things in that year. But, the question is whether you had achieved your goals or targets.
Perhaps in the beginning of 2008, you had set your powerful resolution and you declared your commitment to fulfill and also promised to yourself to accomplish what you had written on your resolution. You had strong belief that you could make it came true. You promised that you would do whatever it took to succeed.
But, several days later, you began to forget your resolution. You kept doing something away from it over again and again. Then you lost your motivation, and broke your own promise. Your resolution became just a useless written paper. Have you ever been trapped in such a condition?
Have you been in a situation where you were fully motivated when you wrote down your resolution and then found yourself fully unmotivated several months, weeks or even several days later? Many people did that. The reason for this phenomenon is because majority of people do not have commitment.
Yes, they write their resolution and then do nothing but expect their resolution comes to life easily. They just wish without having commitment to do whatever it takes. Being lack of commitment makes people have thousands of excuses why they do not succeed.
Now, ask yourself. Do you write your new year’s resolution? If you do, do you have commitment to achieve it? Do you want to pay the price for your resolution and do whatever it takes? If you don’t, you have no commitment for it because you do not feel it is a must. You just give another choice to yourself so you have the mindset “if I achieve my resolution, it’s great. If I don’t, it’s just OK as well”.
If you make your resolution a must, you will give your best effort and power to achieve it. You will have the mindset “I must achieve it whatever it is. If I don’t achieve it, I will keep going until I make it”. But if you don’t, you can simply forget and be easy to give up on the pathway to achieving it.
If you are serious about your resolution, you have no choice but commit to make it a must. Burn down your way behind so you can’t turn back but keep moving ahead. Don’t let your resolution just promise merely. Make it comes true. Make it a must for you. If you make it a must, prepare yourself for success.
