commitment shows up in your life through action you can tell people who are committed and those people who don't feel worthy the people that are committed or busy doing it the people that don't feel worthy of a like a guy I talked to last night who told me hey I shall like to do what you're doing however I just don't want the responsibility the company I work for they're taking good care of me I say let me tell you something 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 but see because he doesn't feel worthy he's intelligent 17 years from major corporation theyve spent thousands of dollars training him he knows he has the book knowledge but his attitude is his vision of himself his sense of deservingness 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 Robert 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 counts a results and results don't lie ladies and gentlemen 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 affirm about but the fruit that it actually Bears so let us look I think that all of us
are are committed but I think that some of us are producing results in our lives that that level of commitment brings that we particularly don't like or find this tasteful I don't think that as a participant in life you cannot be committed you either committed to mediocrity or you're committed to Greatness you're either committed to being productive or you're committed to being nonproductive 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 I 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 or want to open a business or want to do something differently than what they're now doing they don't like their jobs they're unhappy they're unfulfilled people who say they want to improve their income level look at how they spend their time how they spend their time the commitment of their time how they use that 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're 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 folk that say I want to stop
drinking and every time you're in their face they're wreaking with alcohol that will tell you what's going on don't have to listen to what they say just watch what they do commitment shows up in your life in what you do on the other hand you can make the commitment to your life that 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 who 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 she bought a motor scooter and did that for a long time she is now a very successful person she now has three health food stores she said it was harder to struggle less she said
but I did it she said I made 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 of people why because it means you have to deliver see most people you ask him hey look here I like you do this and 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 no so I tell you I try hey
look here I need you to come to this meeting I try I say what do you mean you're going to 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 there no such thing 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 if you decided that you're going to do this if it becomes hard
then do it hard if it's difficult so what if it's inconvenient so what see a lot of people made a commitment to come here tonight but they looked outside and said it's raining the temperature dropped it's cold outside and they decide to give up on their commitment and that's how people do about their dreams they don't honor their commitment to themselves let me tell you what happens when you when you don't keep your commitment number one it begins to deplete your 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 relationships with people people begin to realize they can't 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 7-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'll 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 one commit yourself to living the present I saw the movie The Dead Port Society Robin Williams and it had a line in there sees the moment many of us are not able to move forward and develop and manifest our greatness because we spend so much time looking back or worrying about the future seize the moment see 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're 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 of maintaining your commitments to yourself whatever those things might be if it's going into business if it's 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 the 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 one make it Priority see 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 see and I say the reason that you will reach your destination more times than your luggage
will is because the airline and I'm glad that they do has made it a priority to move the human beings from one point to the other safely not send you off to Boston or someplace with your luggage so I'm not really upset when my luggage doesn't show up I'm glad they delivered me because they've made me a priority see they have made delivering you to your destination important so if you want to honor your commitment whatever you decide that you're going to do make sure you make it important make sure it is priority keep it
before you the other thing is whatever that you want to do whatever you want to begin to create and beginning to manifest your greatness and and strengthening your level of commitment and it's 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 doable that you can do it this year I decided that I was going to exercise so I started out doing just 10 setups and 10 push-ups I know I can do that and not get
upset about it I can do that without thinking so I started out small now I'm up to 50 but if I tried to do 50 starting out I wouldn't still be doing it so I started doing it in manageable segments do that and that that strengthens your will so my commitment now is strengthened and fortified by the activity of actually doing it so now I can expand and build from there when I decided to begin to manage my money differently and I started saving 5% of my money then I increased it to 10% then to
15% so now I have disciplined myself to live off 75% of my income I took discipline to do that but I started watching how I was spending my money I started keeping a log and following myself so you want to begin to find something that is manageable that you know that you can do the next thing in beginning to to keep your commitments to yourself have some friends that will hold you accountable that won't let you off the hook that won't tolerate anything less than the best from you people that will support you in this
new way of being in this new State of Consciousness the other thing is important is have a contingency plan see many times when you make a commitment to do something there are some other variables that will happen that you can't control or you perhaps did not think about so you want to have some other plans going on you want to become creative see most people don't keep their commitments because when something goes wrong they just stop they don't have a contingency plan so they don't know what to do next start being creative if you challenge
yourself many times we say I don't know what to do and I always ask myself but if you did know what to do L what will it be that activates another part of my mind and I start thinking about the possibilities and just experimenting but many many of us just stop dead in our tracks I don't know what to do you do know what to do You' got genius in you challenge yourself push yourself make yourself come up with something use your imagination and what you will find is that you know more than you realize
that you know that you're more creative and more resourceful than you realize that you are and as you do that the more you do it the easier it will become at first it's going to be a struggle and after you get into a certain level of Consciousness you will ask yourself how is it that I didn't see this before at the level that I'm managing my business now they say Consciousness is what we are I literally look at myself and say how is it that I didn't do this before why is it that I couldn't
see this before and the reason that I didn't see it before because I didn't challenge myself I didn't put myself out here see the reason that most of us go through life never discovering our true greatness literally walking breathing corpses the uncommitted life isn't worth living why because it doesn't produce anything see you only make things happen your life only counts you only make a difference when you are are committed when you make a commitment with your life that's the people that make a commitment with their lives the people that make a commitment to their
customers the people that make a commitment to their families to their relationships are the people that make the greatest impact in life what is commitment commitment is the salesman who says look here I'm going to make $1,000 today and I'm not going home you can turn the lights out the janitors could be here running the vacuum cleaner I'm not leaving here till I do it I used to be a door-to door salesman I had X number of TVs I had a minimum amount that I knew I had to sell every day in order to provide
for my mother who was Ill at the time who had lost her job at the Eminem cafeteria because of arthritis and I said I'm going to go door too and sometimes I would not come home until 1:00 at night knocking on people door people closing what do you want would you like to buy a nice working month's television set no money down no what about an Emerson TV no thank you very much do you know anybody else that would be interested no thank you very kindly knock on another hello would you like to buy a
nice working television set no money down no get away from our door thank you very kindly do you know anybody else would be yeah my cousin he lives $2 do down thank you very kindly I tell him you sent me when I hey your cousin told me that you wanted to buy television said told me to come here and talk to you we got a special discount for you yes come in I'm interested I would just keep right on I would not go home until I did it it's an interesting thing ladies and gentlemen that
when we put ourselves in a situation where we say we're going to do it it it puts you in another Zone where the universe responds to you when you have that kind of Consciousness see the universe responds to the man or woman that refuses to be denied because that is your commitment [Music] [Music]
