Here are 5 tips that will help you get “commit” right and change your life:
1. Don’t Be Involved, Commit!
Setting goals isn’t a “one and done” sort of deal.
You need to commit to your goals.
It might not actually be on a daily basis, but it should be something that you make a regular habit.
Doing things halfway is the mother of everything that can go wrong.
When you want your project to succeed, you invest yourself in it fully.
Why? Because you can’t afford to only be involved; being involved means you’re not committed enough, and if you’re not committed enough, that thing you’ve been working on, won’t see the light of day. Don’t chicken out.
You can’t work on several things at the same time and expect excellent results. Make sure you’re doing one thing, and you’re investing all you’ve got.
2. If You Won’t Learn How to Commit, Someone Else Will
There’s someone out there who knows everything you know and they’re probably not alone.
We live in a highly competitive environment and truth be told, it’s exhausting.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to quit? Probably not, but why?
You’re wired to keep on fighting-every time you think you’ve reached rock bottom, you connect to an inner mechanism based on millions of years of evolution whose sole purpose is keeping us alive.
It can be either by running and hiding so you’ll be able to fight another day or by making you fight tooth and nail to get what you need.
You probably heard about this fight-or-flight instinct.
In fight-or-flight mode, your pupils dilate, your heart rate goes up, and blood pressure increases with the purpose of getting more oxygen into your brain and muscles.
This response allows you to give much more in a competitive environment… but guess what? the same happens inside the other guy’s body. That’s why the one who’s more committed will be the last one standing.
3. Never Give Up, Never Give In
Quitting is also a lesson; a really expensive lesson.
You pay for that lesson with the time you lost, the energies you invested, and a major blow to your ego.
However, sometimes you find yourself with your back to the wall and you need to take drastic measures to save the day.
Do you know why people quit?
There are 3 major reasons:
Perfectionism
Lack of faith
General inability to keep commitments due to a history of failures
All three are bound to each other.
The more you fail, the less committed you become.
If you’re less committed, you have less faith.
If you don’t have faith in what you’re doing, every non-perfect condition can break your resolution. It’s that simple.
Fight perfectionism, fight lack of faith and fight history to stop it from repeating itself.

4. Free Your Mind, and the Rest Will Follow
Once you’re committed to something, your mind becomes like a homing beacon.
There are no more choices to be made, just a focus on the target in front of your eyes.
But what happens when you suddenly change your mind?
What if the choice you’ve made is no longer as attractive as you previously imagined it would be?
You know of course what I’m talking about; that thought that you could’ve made a different choice.
That’s why when you make a choice, weigh it heavily, commit, and never look back.
5. Commit to Something Bigger Than Yourself
When you are being committed to something bigger than yourself: You are being and acting in ways that are beyond personal concerns and direct personal gain.
You are at work on a vision and commitment that lights a flame that draws you into action.
If you have problems committing, it will be beneficial to commit in a group setting.
The most likely way to overcome the fear of commitment is to commit to something bigger than just you, and in a group, you’ll be to draw upon others for both motivation and support.
In a committed group, everyone works for the benefit of that group.
If your commitment wanes, you will reduce your chances of achieving your goals, which may cause you to feel discouraged and disappointed.
Learning to stay committed to your goals will prevent you from experiencing those emotions.
