Power of Committment Why do we FAIL at Following Through?

How often have you met someone who says "I am trying to lose weight," while standing in line at McDonald's ordering a cheeseburger and fries with their Diet Coke? Commitment is so much more than merely deciding or trying to reach a goal or improve your life. Commitment is making a binding promise to yourself or others and doing whatever it takes to achieve your goal. Sometimes there are long gaps between deciding to do something and then formally committing to doing it. People tend to cavalierly toss the word commitment around, but when questioned closely they are simply talking about an idea, they are not taking inspired action towards change. Trying is an excuse, it distances people from the truth, fear of pain and challenges that often come with committing to real change and long term progress. Ten critical steps to embracing the power of commitment. Before you can fly high, you must dig deep to discover the truth behind why you want to change, why you want to reach a goal like lose weight or get a promotion and what is holding you back.
