Well, we are officially going into week three of 2017. Time is moving quickly and I hope you are making progress on your goals. This is about the time that most people start to fall off with their resolutions. Most people return to business as usual and never see the breakthroughs that they desire. I do not want that to be the case for you in 2017. I believe that to get what you have never had you must be willing to do what you have never done. What uncommon instruction will unlock success for you in 2017? You are one instruction away from improving the quality of your life. Uncommon instructions unlock uncommon breakthroughs in your life.
Have you made commitments for 2017? Do you plan on keeping your commitments? How much capacity will it take to accomplish your commitments? Everybody is talking about New Year Resolutions. I am not opposed to you making resolutions. However, I want this to be a year of radical change in your life. It takes more than writing down a resolution to produce results in your life. One of the things I have learned about success is that it requires commitment. According to the Oxford Dictionary commitment means the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc. A pledge or undertaking. In other words, commitment is total dedication to your dreams and goals. Most dreams die because we never dedicated ourselves to them. We live in a very complacent generation. Complacency is the enemy to commitment. Complacency will always produce a common life. What I know from experience is that highly successful people make uncommon commitments. We think commitment is just verbal but it is much deeper than that. Commitment happens at the volitional level. In essence, your will must be engaged in order for true commitment to occur. Without total engagement, your words are empty and futile. If you want this to be the greatest year of your life you must raise your level of commitment. Commitment is not just excitement and emotion. Commitment is the exertion of energy required to elevate the state of your life. Half-hearted commitments will always hijack the change you so desperately desire to see in your life. Commitment requires concentration, cost and capacity. Dedication is the catalyst to your next dimension. To live like no one else you must live above limitations.
In closing, I believe that 2017 can be the greatest year of your life. Your past is behind you and you have been blessed with a blank page. The pen is in your hand and you have the responsibility of creating new chapters for your life. Your story will look the same until you are willing to make a shift. When you have the courage to commit to a new course there is nothing that you cannot conquer. 2017 is the year that you must dedicate yourself to something different. This is the year that you must break the cycle once and for all. It is time for you to stop saying no to change. This is the year that you stop living in neutral. Make an unbreakable commitment to develop your capacity and collide with greatness in every area of your life. Sometimes the only thing it takes to break a ceiling is the boldness to commit to a different course. I dare you to keep your commitment and make 2017 the greatest year of your life!
