The Magic of Commitment

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness." - Goethe

Over the years of studying and applying the Law of Attraction to make my dreams come true and supporting my clients to do the same, I have discovered an essential step in the attraction process which is either overlooked or rejected by many people. This essential step is Commitment. Was that an "Ugh!" I heard? For those of you who think of Commitment as the "C" word, read on. It's often the Magic of Commitment that determines whether you live the life of your dreams or end up settling for less that you truly desire.

Studies show that lack of commitment is the number one reason people fail to reach their goals. In my corporate days, my Asian boss would often declare, "There is no try!" In Star Wars, Yoda scolds Luke, "No, do or do not. There is no try." Having been brought up to believe that trying my best was a virtue, I really didn't understand what they meant. Now I get it. There IS no try. You're either committed or you're not - and that makes all the difference. It's like the New Year's Resolution that's completely forgotten by the end of January. Without commitment, it's all too easy to lose sight of your goals.

"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred." - Goethe

With Commitment, obstacles become opportunities rather than reasons to give up. With Commitment, you move from "CAN I do this?" to "I AM doing this! This is MINE!" With Commitment, the Universe moves mountains for you. As Goethe says above, all sorts of things occur to help you which would not have occurred without it. With Commitment, failure is not an option. And if failure is not an option, what's left? That's right - SUCCESS!

To start tapping into the Magic of Commitment, the first step is to get really clear about what you want and why you want it. To truly commit, it must be something you passionately desire. It's also essential to make sure it's YOUR dream you're committing to, not someone else's. It must come from your heart.

Do you have a desire that's been sitting out there in vibrational escrow a little too long? Are you ready and willing to commit to manifesting it? To determine if you're ready to apply the Magic of Commitment, write down the answers to these questions:

• What specifically do I want to happen? (Include details.)
• Why do I want this?
• How will I feel when I achieve this goal?
• Do I want it with passion?
• Is this MY dream or someone else's?
• Am I willing to ask for support when I need it?
• Am I willing to stay focused and refuse to give up? (It may be just one more day.)
• Am I excited about making this promise to myself?
• Can I enjoy the journey from where I am to where I want to be?

If you answered these questions with a great big enthusiastic YES!, you are indeed ready to make a whole-hearted commitment. When you commit, you broadcast a powerful vibration out into the Universe and the Universe responds: "Your wish is my command." When you commit, you place a clear and definite order with the Cosmic Café and the Cosmic Chefs respond: "Coming right up." Commitment is an absolute intention to succeed which activates the Law of Attraction to line up the people and resources that will make your dream a reality. With the Law of Attraction and the Magic of Commitment, you truly CAN Be and Do and Have whatever you desire!
