The Magic of Committing to Your Goals


12 things happy people do differently
A friend recently posted this on Facebook.  All twelve are worth reviewing and reflecting on.  Of these things, what are you already good at doing and which ones do you find to be more of a challenge?

#10 spoke to me: Commit to Your Goals – Magical things start happening when we commit ourselves to doing whatever it takes to get somewhere.   
  Have you ever really wanted something and then gone for it and seen it through?  There is something really powerful that happens when you commit to your goals, both short-term and long-term ones.  The reason is that you are committing TO YOURSELF.  Your goals come from a place of desire within you.  They are a reflection of your wants and needs, and also your hopes and dreams.

  The surprising thing is that with your goals you don’t always end up where you thought you would.  Sometimes you think you want something and halfway through the process of getting there you change your mind, meet the love of your life, or life just happens.  That is where the magic comes in.  It doesn’t matter where exactly you end up or if you get the dream, the job, or the man.  Trusting in yourself and what you want and taking action towards it is the part that really matters.  There is much happiness to be found when you do, and even a little magic.

Have you committed to your goals?
