Confidence and Commitment


When I first heard about the law of attraction and creating your vision as a way to get what you want I thought it was ridiculous. Could anyone really believe that sitting in a chair and thinking about what you want would bring it to you?

Since that time I have learned that in fact, the law of attraction and creating your vision are incredibly useful tools to create your ideal life. What makes them effective is that they pull you towards action, the action that you need to take to get what you want.

Commitment is a critical component that motivates us to take those actions that turn our visions into reality. A way to increase our commitment to act is to get in touch with how much we want something. Just how serious are we about achieving our vision of what we want from life? Our only real limit to reaching our goals is how badly we want to achieve them. The more we want something, the more willing we are to do what it takes to accomplish it.

These questions will bring weight and clarity to your motivation to do what you need to do to get what you want. Think of a specific goal as you ask yourself these questions.

1-What will I miss out on in my life if I don't achieve my goal?

2-What will it cost me if I'm not not moving towards my goal?

3-How will it hinder me spiritually, emotionally, financially or physically to give up?

4-If I achieve my goal how will I feel about myself?

5-What kind of momentum will be created in my life when I achieve what I desire?

6-How would I feel if I were consistently moving forward towards living a like I really love?

How did you feel as you answered these questions? Were you inspired to act?

The key to is to get strong enough reasons so you truly commit to your goals and start taking action NOW, not someday.

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.
