How Committed Are You?
Every career path is challenging.
Without question, those who succeed are fully vested. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to reach their goals. They just won’t accept failure. They press on in the face of hardship. They ignore naysayers. They keep going long past the time when others would have quit.
What separates these achievers? Is it luck? Maybe. Is it timing? Possibly. Is it commitment? Definitely.
When you feel stuck in your career or impeded in your pursuits, ask yourself this question? “How committed am I?” You might buck at the question and say, “I am very committed.” But, consider what it takes to be a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery at Washington, D.C. Then ask yourself the same question.
