The Power of Commitment

"We don't commit because we are afraid to fail but we fail because we don't commit"

One of my favourite sayings.

Commitment is absolutely everything and without it life is not only hard but you will find yourself drifting away from what is truly important to you.

Whether it be kayaking, coaching, policing, mentoring, the one thing I hear that separates those out who get results from those that don't is commitment.

People are often waiting for motivation, to 'feel' like doing the work but that feeling often comes after we have started.

People want confidence before they take the leap but it's commitment that gets us through the fear, get's us taking action, which then leads to the confidence.

You don't have to wait for fear to go before you commit and in fact that's why you need commitment, because when you do something for the first time you will feel fear.

Commitment is not something we wait for, it's a decision. You may not know how to do something and you may even be really bad at it but you can still decide to commit to doing it and that's where progress is made.
