Are You Interested in Success or Are You Committed?

    

    The secret to success is supposed to be simple... at least thats what were told. Go to school, study hard, graduate, get a job, work hard, climb the latter... and be happy and successful. Right? 

Riiiiiight.

    UM, no not really. Most people are tough that success kinda just happens because its the path of life. do this, do that, voila! So when times get tough and all of a sudden we don't have a job, or are pants are getting reaaaaally tight - we assume "OK, I'll fix it" But all of a sudden, this S$!% is HARD?!

Why am I NOT losing weight?

Why am I still unemployed?

Or if you ARE employed, why am I not getting promoted?

    If you've TRIED to lose weight/emprove your job position you know it takes some hard work. And more than likely... (tough loving coming) you quit when things started to get shaky. Maybe you binged late at night during a movie... every night this week. Maybe you've been clocking in at 9:01 and putting in the bare minimum during your time at work, MAYBE just maybe you're thinking to yourself... "But I did what I could" Did you? Or did you do what you should? You see... there's a difference between what we're CAPABLE of doing, and what we REALLY do.

    Did you go the extra mile? Did you give 110%? It's ok if you didn't... I honestly don't blame you. It takes a deeper level of soul searching to figure out that it takes more than following the status quo to get what you want. 

| This is when you need to ask yourself - Are you INTERESTED in success, or are you COMMITED? |

If the answer was interested, stop reading now. JK! Read below because you need this even more.

If the answer was committed, then keep doing what you're doin' ponyboy!

    The difference between between who succeed and people who don't is not whether or not someone wants it bad enough or got lucky, it's about who NEVER gave up despite bleak circumstances.

    If you've tried losing weight and you're still not at your goal body you know it cause losing weight can be tough ass stuff. BUT, it's only because you were merely interested in losing weight. Maybe you got a gym memberhsip, did some googling on healthy recipes, and got a load of healthy groceries. Right?! (yay, good for you by the way) but did you go 100% in and say "no" to the snacks at the office? Did you use your gym membership 5x per week like you told yourself you would? Did you give up when you had been going a week and weren't seeing any results? IT'S OK!! I've been there too. The only thing you need to do now, is decide that you're not gonna be interested in succeeding anymore. You're gonna be 110% COMMITED. 
When the office hottie brings in donuts (okay, the hottie never brings in donuts but irregardless) when SOMEONE brings in donuts, say "F that!" I've got goals that I'm achieving, and go eat your lunch that you brought! When there's a promotion up for grabs... giiiiiirl, I hope you're getting to work early and leaving late. This is not saying you need to be a workaholic because there's a balance that needs to be achieved BUT you need to outwork your competi
tion. And clocking in late and watching Netflix all night isn't gonna get you there. 

Are you still with me?

    You see, there is a VAST majority of people (still love em') who thinks merely being INTERESTED is enough. But it's not! I'm so sorry guys, I wish it was. But now that you KNOW what are you gonna do next?

    Step #1. Whatever you goal is, decide right now that you're 100% committed to seeing it through. If it takes you 6 months, great! If it takes you 5 years, stellar! No matter what, that goal is YOURS.
    Step #2. Be real with yourself. You're gonna need to work HARD. Ughhhghghghgh. I know girl. JK! You're reading this right NOW because you already ARE a kick ass lady who wants more out of life and you aint afraid of hard work! 
    Step #3. Rinse and Repeat. You're commitment WILL be tested. You're gonna want to throw in the towel. As long as you decided to renew your commitment to your goal every week you will not stray! Before you even realize, you'll be a pant size smaller, your boss will start complimenting you, and maybe the hottie will bring a donut RIGHT to your cubicle! (joking again... seriously. NO DONUTS. Except on rare occasions. You decide girlfriend!)

    In my head, I'm making perfect sense, but we all know how things just don't come out as great as they sound in the noggin' SO what I'm saying is - if you want to learn more you GOTTA read the book "Commit to Win" by Heidi Reeder. Hopefully this made sense to you, I know you're a smart chick so it probably did ;) More soon! xoxoxo
