Circle of Trust

It’s not easy getting up at 4:15 during the work week and on Saturday’s.  It takes commitment and commitment will be the focus of my COT.

  • Definition of Commitment: the attitude of someone who works very hard to do or support something
  • Three steps to consider when making a Commitment:
    • Prioritize: Commitment takes time and effort. If we don’t prioritize these two things, we will always struggle to keep meaningful commitments.
    • Be Proactive: Commitment isn’t a passive process. We need to be proactive in our commitments. This means giving more effort than what is expected.
    • Right Attitude: So much about how we approach life has to do with the attitude we hold. The more positive an attitude we take the more energy and enthusiasm we give.

A few quotes reflecting on Commitment:

  • Motivation is what gets you started. Commitment is what keeps you going.
  • Stay focused on your goals and ignore any distractions
  • Commitment is an act, not a word.
  • Vince Lombardi – Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment
