Irrevocable
commitments that offer no loopholes, no bail-out provisions, and no
parachute clauses will extract incredible productivity and
performance from yourself.

Do
you know that what you commit yourself to doing and being changes who
and what you are? By committing to a greater vision, you become a
greater person.

I
suppose it should be no surprise that those who already have achieved
a taste of success in any arena are much more likely not only to set
goals, but to have a sense of total commitment to those goals because
they have greater confidence. And the most successful are those who
are “on fire? with their goals. They have reached the point where
goals have become elevated to “promises?.

What’s
the difference between a goal and a promise? A few of my coaching
clients have said to me that making goals feels like something that
someone else is pushing you to do. In that case, the goals stay at
“arms-length? ? distant, cold and guilt-causing. Obviously,
the wrong approach.

The
right approach? Knowing why you’re pursuing that
particular aim. The “why do it? is more important for continuous
motivation than any other element. What will reaching this goal
enable you to do, to be, to have, and to feel? When you get
absolutely clear about where you want your promise to yourself to
take you, then you, too, will feel “on fire? with your vision.
You will commit to doing what it takes to make it real ? and it is
suddenly transformed from a “goal? dragging you ? into a
promise that propels you.

Stop
creating goals if they only make you feel guilty. Ask yourself,
instead , what you will promise yourself to do in your
life next.
