New Year\u2019s is just around the corner and I know that several of you are already working on your resolutions. Or maybe you\u2019re a goal-getter all year round \u2013 and I applaud that! However, are you just interested in your goals or are you committed? Let\u2019s talk about the differences between the two\u2026\n \xa0\n Now when I say committed, I mean committed. When you\u2019re just interested, it may feel like your committed, but in the back of your mind you\u2019re always looking for a way out. You haven\u2019t set a date, you\u2019re not risking anything or putting anything on the line. You\u2019ve still got the opportunity to get out at any time. When you\u2019re committed \u2013 you\u2019re all in.\n \xa0\n \u201cA commitment is a one million percent YES.\u201d\n \xa0\n Here\u2019s how the language around it changes. When you\u2019re interested, it\u2019s \u201cSomeday I will\u2026, or \u201cI would do x-y-z, but\u2026\u201d You\u2019re always seeking out excuses why you can\u2019t without realizing it. However, when you\u2019re committed, you use phrases like, \u201cI will\u2026,\u201d I am\u2026\u201d When obstacles arise, you offer no excuses and instead seek out solutions because you know that these will help someone in some way down the road.\n \xa0\n \u201cSolutions are the blessings you teach.\u201d\n \xa0\n Committed people surround themselves with people who don\u2019t tolerate excuses, whereas those who are interested tend to find themselves with those who support those excuses. Weekends are a numbing time-out away from your goals. Those who are committed look for what they need in order to stay committed. Again, there is no way out.\n \xa0\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re just interested, you always leave the window cracked open \u2013 there\u2019s always a way out. When you\u2019re committed, there is no way out, just through.\u201d\n \xa0\n And before I go, I just want to share one more difference and it\u2019s in regard to worrying about what others think. You can likely guess this, but when people are just interested, they DO care what others think. When you\u2019re committed, the only thing you\u2019re worried about is not fulfilling your potential. Your worries feel purposeful because it\u2019s not just about you.\n \xa0\n If you\u2019re feeling more on the interested side and want to get more committed, I encourage you to\n \xa0\n \u201cTake action from your future self who is committed.\u201d\n \xa0\n Keep that momentum going and please share with me what committed actions you\u2019re taking today \u2013 I would love to hear from you!\n \xa0\n In This Episode You Will Learn:\n \xa0\n What the differences are between interested and committed\n How our obstacles help us teach and help others\n How the time spent on weekends makes a difference\n \xa0\n Resources:\n \xa0\n Checkout my website at loriharder.com.
