Are you committed?
Like a lot of “jokes,” the little ditty below is not far from the truth. It’s talking about a person’s romantic feelings but it can apply to anything.
I’d cross the hottest desert,
I’d swim the deepest sea,
I’d climb the highest mountain,
But I can’t come over tonight because it’s raining.
It made me think about how grandiose some of our goals are and yet how tiny and weak our commitments are to those goals.
Remember the old adage, “Plans are made in sand. Commitments are made in concrete.”
Maybe circumstances have caused your plans to change, but if you feel your commitment wavering (or gone altogether) it’s time to get back to the real reason you want to accomplish the goal. If it’s still important then re-inforce your commitment — write it in concrete!
Stumble it!

YES!!!
This is just what I needed to hear this month! Right on time!
The good thing is that one can mix sand and concrete to get it hard! Its not too late!
Thank you!

I enjoyed revising the goals in my book. I am moving towards them but needed to hear the words again. They are strong words and I felt my back straighten and words like YES YES….thank you
