Definiteness of Purpose
Real commitment is implementing the decisions made, even during a struggling phase of life.
One's purpose should be clearly defined and acted upon without hesitation. Research shows that if you hesitate for even a few seconds when you feel inspired to do something, your chances of doing it drop DRAMATICALLY even after 2-4 seconds.
Marcus Porcius Cato
"He who hesitates is lost."
A life without Hesitation
- When you make a decision or a plan of action, be in an energized state of mind.
- Create various accountability and fail-safe mechanisms to remove any possibility of doubt.
- Stick to your decision until it is done.
Peak And Energized State
Make or finalize your decision when you are at a peak state, an energized, passionate state of mind.
Instead of dragging yourself throughout your life, be at a peak state by upgrading your standards, on a daily basis.
What Commitment Means
Even when life gets difficult, you seeing your goal through the end is what commitment looks like.
Your decision is final no matter what happens, and you see to it and make sure it gets implemented.
Resolve
To think about a decision you have made, time and again, is to doubt yourself. To resolve means making the decision and finding no excuses. It means not even listening to yourself trying to convince your mind out of the decision. It means you have left your fear, doubt, and disbelief far behind.
Your goal is assumed as completed in your mind.
People Want Certainty
Most people would take security over total freedom because with freedom comes responsibility and uncertainty.
To experience inner freedom, you have to let go of certainty and embrace insecurity.
Self-Confidence To Commit
Few people challenge themselves and keep their commitments. They end up lying to themselves, breaking their own self-confidence.
They fear to commit as they don't trust themselves and remain in a weak and powerless state of indecision.

Being in a peak state
... means you’re operating at the level you want to be, so that you can achieve ambitions beyond anything you've done before. You can reach this state by:
- Getting your body moving and breathing deeply (some of the easiest ways to get into a peak state).
- Listening to music that motivates you.
- Giving a genuine compliment or being kind to someone.
- Learning and expanding your mind.
Morning rituals
They are what triggers a peak state.
The core purpose for having a morning routine is to put yourself into a peak state in the morning — so you can then operate from that state for the rest of your day. Rather than being reactive, addicted, and unconscious in your morning — it’s far better to proactively put yourself in a peak state in a ritualistic manner.

Beliefs As Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
What you believe influences the way you interpret events, how you feel, and how you behave. And much of the time, those beliefs turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.
Give Up Self-Limiting Beliefs
- If you believe you're too socially awkward to make friends, ask yourself "What would I be doing if I were socially savvy?" Then, use a skill called, 'acting as if.' Act as if you were a socially savvy person.
- That doesn't mean you need to be a phony. Instead, behave in a way that brings out another side of your personality.
Challenging Your Beliefs Takes Time
It's likely that everyone has a few self-limiting beliefs.
To discover yours, spend some time thinking about your potential and assessing the assumptions you make about yourself that keep you from living your dreams.
It's likely that your beliefs, rather than your lack of ability, could be the biggest hurdle.
