You Ought to Be Committed!

We are now in the second day of the New Year and how many of you have already broken your resolutions or completely given up on them. I hope none of you. But have you taken action on your new resolutions yet? If not, you may not be fully committed to your goals for the new year. You may have been interested in the resolution you made, the goal you set, but until you take consistent, forward-moving action you aren't really committed.

“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”
~ Unknown

Starting today and every day from here on out practice Zero Tolerance No Excuse Living! Whatever you have resolved to accomplish this year, do not lay your head down on your pillow at night without having taken some action, no matter how small it is, towards accomplishing your goal. So put on those running shoes, crack that book, pick up that musical instrument, balance that bank account, make that new contact, whatever you need to do to move yourself forward.

Do it now!

Right now!

Stop reading!

GO!!!

Own the Future

I can't hardly believe that I haven't posted on this blog for 21 months now, but I've decided it is well past time to revive it and get back to sharing tips, quotes and stories that inspire and motivate us to become better today than we have ever been before! So I hope you will come back often and leave a comment to share any insights you may have gained in your visit here or just to let us know that you dropped in.

Today I would like to share a quote that was e-mailed to me this morning by Brian Tracy:

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Nothing of significance is ever accomplished without first believe in yourself and your ability to do it. Dare to believe as you set and pursue the New Year's Resolutions you have made for 2012.

(You did write out your resolutions, didn't you? If not, read through my Celebrate 2008 blog series where I help you to gain a better understanding of why resolutions are important, how to set effective and exciting resolutions and tips and techniques for making sure you keep them throughout the whole year ... and beyond.)
