When you commit to achieving something, that also means you’re committing to the actions required to achieve it. We tend to fall short of our objective when we lose sight of the actions underlying it.
So if you commit to finding a new job, what you’re really committing to is constantly applying for positions until you find one that’s right for you.
If you commit to going to a party, you’re also committing to ensuring that nothing else in your calendar will stop you from attending.
If you commit to running a marathon, you’re committing to lots and lots of long training sessions.
So when you next commit to an objective, you should also state the actions you’re actually committing to.
