I
always hear people say that they wish they can have this or they can
have that. Although what they want can differ, the
commonality is
that they always use the word ‘wish’ in their statement, and usually
with a sigh! As a motivational speaker, I firmly believe that
if
you want to achieve goals in life, you must be aware that there's a
significant difference between making a committed decision and simply
just making a wish. This is an extremely important concept that I point
out during my motivational speeches. Wishes are weak and
wimpy
when compared to totally committed decisions.
If you just wish
for something, like you wish you had more money or you wish you could
be in better shape or you wish you could get rid of some bad habit,
chances are you will probably not do much about it. Life
won't
really change all that much for you. How many times do we
hear
people say that they wished their lives were better? But do
they
actually do anything about it? Often they do not, by my
observation. Their actions or lack of actions are not
congruent
with what they want for life success.
But if you make totally
committed decisions especially on paper, it will be like making a
written contract with yourself. Instead of just sitting there
watching TV, you will make the time and put in the effort to make goals
happen. It's really the start to having a completely
different
mindset as you take ownership of your goals. Those who simply
wish for things do not take on such ownership.
Making
committed decisions changes your mindset to take on the proper attitude
that is required for being a peak performer who overcomes challenges in
life. This attitude is free of negative thoughts and adopts
the
position that you will do whatever it takes to achieve
something.
The entire process of becoming successful starts with making a full
commitment. This happens when you make committed decisions.
My
friend Sue is a great example of somebody who experienced
this.
For years, she wished that she could become a dog trainer but didn’t
really do any specific actions that moved her closer towards this
goal. Then one night, she realized that simply wishing for
something was not going to turn her dream into reality. So
instead, she made a committed decision to go after her dream.
This
changed her mindset and motivated her to take the right
actions.
She enrolled in dog training courses and actively researched the dog
training industry. After a year, she finally opened up her
own
dog training business. Today, she owns Canine Academy, a very
successful dog training facility based near Toronto, Canada.
Sue
is a real life example of success that materialized only after she
stopped wishing for her dream to come true and instead, made a
committed decision to go after it. This action changed her
life. In fact, I think she should be a motivational speaker
but
then again, she is too busy training dogs. Her story is the
type
that I just love to talk and write about as a motivational
speaker. One of the main messages for success from my book, The
Life Champion In You,
is to stop making wishes. I don’t bother with wishes
anymore. Instead, make committed decisions so that your
dreams
will come true as well.
