If you really want to do it commit
Before committing to anything, the most crucial step is to determine your level of desire. Desire is what motivates us in many important ways. People whose desires are few, in contrast, have passion. Whatever field of life they commit themselves to. They have a tremendous passion to persevere and to succeed. Driven by a longing that is spread among only a few desires, passionate people often achieve great things.
People frequently make quick decisions and commit to things simply based on their qualities. They don’t give it much thought, so they don’t understand what it actually takes to be committed to getting the results.
Focus on one important task at a time.
Choose one thing and stick with it until it sticks to you. If you have a skill you wish to improve, focus on improving only the skill. Wait until you’ve made good progress and discover your flow in the first skill before attempting to pick up more. In, other words, do not take more than you can handle and don’t allow the explosion of ideas in your mind to distract you.
Don’t complicate. Make it easy and sustainable
Most individuals worry too much over the smallest details when starting out something new. They make things far more difficult than they need to be. If you focus on every little detail, you won’t be able to maintain your enthusiasm for long.
Establish realistic goals and expectations
Many people have unrealistic expectations for results after seeing other people’s quick successes. They overestimate what they can achieve in 6- 12 months. Things take time to develop. And the success stories we hear about people who become overnight heroes are exceptions, not the norm. Always aim higher but make your expectations realistic.
Prioritize progress over perfection.
If there is such a thing as perfection in the human world, then achieving it can take a long time. Whenever we start on a project with enthusiasm, our inner critic and perfectionist tend to come out and point out all the mistakes and errors. Not everything has to happen perfectly and exactly as we expect. Making mistakes is OK, and it’s not a big issue if we do it sometimes.
Learn to say no
Being consistent requires that you learn to say “no”. Prioritize your tasks and dont let any distrations keep you from completing them. If you have committed to something put it at the top of your list of priorities and say no to antything that might distract you. Finally stop making promises you cannot keep.
