When we think of commitment, trying hard and making many attempts come to mind. However, commitment is the essence of the ultimate secret. It is the willingness to do whatever it takes to accomplish a goal or objective. “Whatever it takes” excludes all illegal, unethical actions that can harm other people. It is a mental attitude that says if it takes 5 steps to reach my goal, I’ll take those 5 steps.
Where does persistence fit in?
Persistence follows commitment. This means you must commit to doing something before consistently doing it. Not to fail you follow through with relentless determination and action until you attain the desired result. Through consistent repetition, we rewire our brains and develop behaviors and habits that make us do things naturally as part of our daily routine.
It equips us with the resilience to deal with the difficulties of life. When we are consistent, setbacks become opportunities for growth and learning. The ability to remain focused on the long-term goal, despite temporary setbacks, helps in overcoming obstacles and achieving success.
The Magic of Commitment
When you make a commitment and are willing to do whatever it takes, you begin to attract the people and circumstances necessary to accomplish your goal. These resources were already available but your mind never focused on finding them. Once you commit yourself to something, you create a mental picture of what it would be like to achieve it. Afterward, your mind immediately goes to work. The mind acts as a magnet attracting events and circumstances that will help bring your picture into reality. It is important to note that this is not an overnight miracle.
Until one is commited there is hesitancy, the chance to drawback, always ineffectiveness. Cocerning all acts of initiative ( and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance that kills countless ideas and sledid plans; that the movement one definately commits oneself, then providence moves, too.

Doors will open
You do not have to know at the onset how to achieve your goal. It is not essential that every plan has to be planned out even though it is important to have a plan. When you have the willingness to do whatever it takes the steps to take will pan out easily. Doors will unexpectedly open for you. It might seem like luck but you will have created these positive events just by committing.
Even with commitment, everything won’t be smooth. Life will test you to see how serious you are about achieving your goals. Obstacles will arise, you will make mistakes, and suffer disappointments and setbacks. Some of these challenges will tempt you to abandon your goal. In truth, this is the point of never giving up no matter what. You just can’t go back at this point.
Keep in mind that if you have committed to accomplish a goal, you can overcome temporary defeats and you will triumph.
