When does commitment start?

I was reading about how some people have overcome issues, problems, road blocks, negativity from friends, and major challenges. Everyone has challenges in their life and of course how a person becomes strong is that they don't back down out of fear but rather face whatever it is that has potential to stop them from proceeding. I call it being mentally tough.

The word we hear is commitment. Fight back. Face the challenges and do whatever it takes to continue to work for your dream. Commitment doesn't start when a person says to themselves "I'm committed." Commitment starts when some kind of adversity shows up.   Maybe a few people quit, or you do three meetings in a week and not one person showed up. There are many things that can happen that gets some of us to wonder if it's really worth the effort.   Adversity!

I believe that once we decide that we're going to do whatever it takes, things change. I can remember driving to meetings and I would get negative or doubtful thoughts. I had a saying I would say to myself and it went something like this: "No matter what anyone says or does, there isn't anything that's going to stop me from building this business." I can't tell you how many times I found myself fighting back by saying those words to myself.

Stuff happens. To everyone. My suggestion for you today is to decide that you're going to be so mentally tough that no adversity will ever get you to stop working for your dream. Making a decision like that and then fighting back when "stuff" happens will help you overcome everything and anything that might suggest you quit. Believe me, you will come out the winner and some day down the road some people will call you lucky because you have a successful business. All because you decided to become mentally tough.

Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
