Committed

'It is time to make the magic happen.'


This is my weekly motivation.


I wrote it down on my weekly planner.


I made it my phone lock screen.




I have very rarely struggled with commitments. I will always turn up on time, I will always make an effort, I will always commit once I have agreed.


Like yes there are times where I have said to myself,


'If you don't go on a run this morning, you have to go to the gym tonight'


And not gone through with it, I am horrible at commitment if it is solely myself involved but what I am really truely horrible at is agreeing.


So I am going to break this blog down into two sections.


Commitment.


Agreement.


Commitment literally by definition is being dedicated to a cause and once I am dedicated I am more then 1000% committed.


If I agree to do something, I do it. I have never been one to let the team down.


However I am going to stop your right there.


'If I agree'

That statement right there on its own is enough for me to lead you straight into the second part of this conversation.


I am not problem with commitment but I do have a problem with agreement.


Agreeing to do something has always been a downfall for me.


And that comes from the normal classic old saying:


'I am too tired'.

I will not lie to you, I am too tired comes out of my mouth about once a day.


  • Oh I am too tired to hangout.


  • Oh I am too tired to go to the gym.


  • Oh I am too tired to study.


And on and on and on and on it goes.


Until I go full circle of always remaining tired and never getting shit done.


So if you are like me and you have a problem to even agree to commit then you have come to the right place and at the right time because I have started on this new journey.


"To agree, to commit."

See here are some of the steps I started to take.


1. I removed the words "too tired" from my vocabulary.


2. I started making lists of what needs to get done daily (I've spoke about this before, I'll speak about it again).


3. I try to complete my daily lists before I even think about laying down in bed or turning on my Netflix.


4. I started waking up earlier (this blog is coming too).


5. I realised my life is not being lived while my eyelids are closed and I want to see and do more with my day.


It was this final realisation that really made me open my eyes back up to agreeing. I can't see my friends if I am too tired, I can't be fit and healthy both physically and mentally if I am too tired and I sure as hell can not move onto bigger and better things within my life if I am to tired.


So it was with this thought that I have decided to start agreeing and allow myself to commit.
