Have you committed … fully?

Posted by HorrieM

Once you commit, there are no more choices.

No more indecision or uncertainty.

Wavering back and forth dissipates.

Commitment leads to focus and action.

It leads to progress.

When you are committed, you are fully invested.

You are resolved to make things happen.

So, to the dilemma.

You cannot commit to everything.

You have to decide.

Until there are no more choices.

You missed your goal … so now what?

Posted by HorrieM

You set a goal … and missed it.

You can beat yourself up.

Feel you messed up.

Be frustrated and disappointed.

Which is all okay.

It means you aren’t satisfied yet.

Which will fuel the setting of the next goal.

Review what happened.

Take the learnings.

Come up with some new strategies.

Be kind to yourself.

And go again.

Choose your next step

Posted by HorrieM

You have been given an opportunity to stretch yourself.

To rise to a challenge.

To really make a difference.

You could choose to worry about what might go wrong.

How it could all be too much.

To make a false step.

Or you could choose to focus on what will go right.

How you can raise the bar.

To step up.

You get to choose your next step.

Play your own game

Make sure you know the rules of the game before you start playing.

You will not be able to change the rules if things don’t go your way.

Or you can start a new game.

A variation of the original, or something completely different.

A game where you get to make the rules.
