You are a leader. You are limitless.

Once you increase your sense of worthiness, you won't even be able to open your mouth saying that somebody is taking care of you. You want to take care of yourself.

Robert Anthony

He's intelligent, 17 years from Major corporation they've spent thousands of dollars training him. He knows he has the book knowledge but his attitude is his vision of himself. His sense of deserving that says you can't have that. So he will fabricate all kinds of excuses on why he can't have it.

Robert Anthony said something. Rob Anthony said that you can only have two things in life, reasons or results. Notice reasons don't count. Folks will always point out reasons on why they are not living their dream, on why they're not manifesting their greatness. They will always be able to point those things out but none of those things count. The only thing that count are results and results don't lie.

They tell it all. Judge a tree by the fruit that it bears not the ones that it might talk about not the ones that it might wish for or think about or firm about but the fruit that it actually bears. So let us look I think that all of us are committed but I think that some of us are producing results in our lives. That level of commitment brings that we particularly don't like or find distasteful.

I don't think that as participant in life you cannot be committed. You either commit it to mediocrity or you commit it to greatness. You either committed to being productive or you're committed to being non-productive. You're committed to being happy or you're committed to being unhappy. See, whatever you're doing, however you spend your time, that tells you who you are so think about what it is you like to create in your life experience. Once look at how you commit your time. Once I do an evaluation on how you spend your time, I can tell you exactly what you're committed to.

People that say they have dreams, they want to open a business or want to do something differently than what they're now doing. They don't like their jobs are unhappy they're unfulfilled. People say they want to improve their income level. Look at how they spend time. How they spend their time, the commitment of their time, how they use that will really tell the truth people who said i'd like to do better but you don't find them in vocational or technical schools, upgrading their skills and their knowledge. How they spend their time that will tell you what's going on people who say they want to normalize their weight. They want to be healthy but every time you see them, they're eating. That will tell you that they are committed to being obese for the rest of their lives. People tell you they want to stop smoking and they're lighting up at that time. Say I want to stop drinking and every time you are in their face they're reeking with alcohol, that will tell you what's going on. Don't have to listen to what they say. Just watch they do.

Commitment shows up in your life in what you do, on the other hand, you can make the commitment to your life but you don't like the results that you have and that you're going to do something about it see that power is available to all of us people who look at life and decide I want something different for myself.

Carol Hatfield

Carol lives in Detroit, single mother decided that she wanted to go into her own business. Did not have enough money to do it. She wanted to have a health food store. She sold her car and used the money to start in a little storefront. A little hole in the wall. She rode to work on a bicycle and then when she got enough money, she bought a motor scooter and did that for a long time. She's now a very successful person. She now has three health food stores. She said, "it was hard as a struggle" as she said, but "I did it". She said "I made it. The commitment to do it and I did it."

Why is it that people are frightened by commitment, because when you say the word commitment, that intimidates a lot people, why? Because it means you have to deliver, see, most people you ask him, Hey, look, I'd like you to do this, they'll say, I'll try. I'll try means that is my escape clause when I don't come through. It's really a polite NO. "I don't have the courage to tell you." Notice I'll tell you, "I'll try."

"Hey, look at I need you to come to this meeting."- "I'll try", say what do you mean? You're gonna lean toward the meeting? Try and sit down, you either do or you don't. try and take this pencil out of my hand, you either do or you don't. It's no such this as try. So most people like to use that language. They don't want to commit themselves because commitment means among many things: no excuse is acceptable. That's what it means. No excuse that excuse. If you decided that you want to do this, if it becomes hard then do it hard. If its difficult so what?

What will happen when you don't keep your commitment. Number 1, it begins to deplete your self-esteem and it erodes your self-image. It weakens your faith in yourself. You don't feel good when you don't keep your commitments. The other thing is that you begin to develop weak relationship with people. People begin to realize they cannot depend upon you. They can't rely on you because you won't keep your word. You've established that kind of reputation.

Just think what would your life be like if you decided to keep your commitments. What will all of our lives be like if we decided to keep our commitments? That we decided to do the things that we said that we were going to do. That we wouldn't even speak it unless we were going to do it.

If we decided just for a week. Just see what your life can be like. Just let's do it for a commitment to make. Make it a seven-day commitment. That I won't say I will do anything unless I'm going to do it and find out what your life will be like. Let me tell you what, if you follow it through, if you keep your commitment to the commitment. At the end of the seven days, you feel strong and powerful. Because by honoring your commitment, each time that you do, that empowers you, whatever discipline that is required. Whatever it is that you must do. So I'm suggesting number 1, commit yourself to live in the present. Seize the moment, many of us are not able to move forward and develop and manifest our greatness because we spent so much time looking back of worrying about the future. Seize the moment, you cannot go into the future and manifest your greatness when you have various things in your life that's blocking you.

Let's look at how we can begin to keep our commitments. Remembering what Dr. Robert Anthony said about results, when you keep your commitments you are able to produce some different kinds of results in your life so how can we keep our commitments and do we keep all commitments? No, we don't. You will not be at 100%, however, you will have a greater percentage rate of maintaining your commitments to yourself. Whatever those things might be. If it's going into business if it's changing a habit that you know that works against you. If it's overcoming self-destructive behavior, if it's retraining your thinking, if it's reinventing yourself. If it's trying to begin to design your relationship differently.

All of us have a possibility by focusing and really harnessing our attention and concentrating on it. We really have available to us.

The power to honor our commitments in those particular areas so number 1, make it priority. No one would go get on an airplane if you thought your chances of getting there to your destination were as good as your luggage. The reason that you will reach your destination more times in your luggage will is because the airline has made it a priority to move a human beings from one point to the other safely, not send you off to someplace.

The other thing is whatever that you want to do, whatever you want to begin to create and beginning to manifest your greatness and strengthening your level of commitment and it's really exercising your will, find something that you want to do on your goal. One action step but make sure it stretches you, that it challenges you but it's durable that you can do it.
