Do You Know What Commitment Really 
Means?
I don’t know your name or age; I don’t know what 
you want or desire. Further, I don’t even know which 
part of the world are you reading this from. But, I do 
know one thing: No matter who you are, where you 
stay, whatever your age may be and whatever you 
do, until…….and unless YOU commit to success, you, 
sadly are going to live a mediocre and unfulfilling life.
What DO I mean by 
‘CCoommmmitmitemnet nist a? ’high performing 
(completely legal and healthy) drug 
which is made of goals, focus, action & 
adaption, pain (lots of pain!), reflection, 
and persuasion which you have to 
consume daily till you get to your 
desired goal. Period.
Stop giving excuses of why one or more 
aspect of your life (whether it be your health, 
relationships, work, or knowing your purpose 
of existence) is not where you want it to be. 
Instead, take responsibility, and then commit 
to making it happen no matter what. Even if 
you don’t read anything else ever, just 
remember this is how success is attained-
through massive commitment.
What I DON’T mean by ‘Commitment?’
Next, understand commitment does not mean 
trying and giving up when you feel you have 
had enough because you don’t have money 
(create it), no support (build it), no clarity of 
the future (reflect and find mentors) or any 
other excuse you convince yourself with, and 
sell to others to hide the fact that you gave 
up!
Let me give you an example from the set of people I have a 
lot of passion and respect for: Entrepreneurs (as I am one 
myself). Sadly, there is this one phrase which has become so 
linked to entrepreneurs in today’s era known as a ‘start-up.’ 
Now, let me tell you what to do if you own one or know 
someone who does-STOP calling it a start-up! A start-up is not 
a commitment. It is a lose phrase that too often, especially in 
the technological era, intelligent, well meaning folks with 
great ideas use to shield themselves from criticism that if 
things don’t work out for them tomorrow, they can say ‘Oh, 
I/we tried, but because of A,B,C,D,E….P,Q,L,M,N and X,Y,Z 
(economy, money, partner or investor issue, etc, etc.) I/we 
had to shut it.’
Summary
I may be being harsh on you, but trust me I love 
you and I really do care for you which is why I 
want to ensure when you finish reading this 
article, you really understand what commitment 
is and what it isn’t.
Next, I want to help you develop commitment the 
way I have defined it over here. Go ahead, sign-
up for consistent motivation from us and equip 
your mind with tools to live a more powerful and 
resourceful life.
