DETERMINATION/COMMITMENT

A need for determination and commitment


Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” - Peter F. Drucker

“Great organizations demand a high level of commitment by the people involved.” - Bill Gates

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.” - Mario Andretti

“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” - Vince Lombardi

“When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.”

“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

Find your strength and act promptly

Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit
is what keeps you going. - Jim Rohn

What is your motivation?
It can be money, fame, purpose, commitment or contribution. Whatever it is, it helps to have a goal that drives you.

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

Elbert Hubbard said "It isn't more book learning we need, or instructions about this or that, but a strengthening of the backbone, to act promptly, to get going to do the thing we know we ought to do."

Have a meaningful life

No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No steam or gas drives any machine until it is confined, and no man gets anything until he is committed to a goal.

The poorest of all men is not the one without gold, but without a goal. Life to him has no meaning -- no reason for living.

"If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else." - Lawrence J. Peter

You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.

Ultimate Success Formula?

Man alone, of all God's creatures, can change himself for the better.

Anthony Robbins in his Personal Power II tape, says that the following are The Ultimate Success Formula:
  1. Know your outcome.
  2. Get yourself to take action by deciding to do so.
  3. Notice what you're getting from your actions.
  4. If what you're doing is not working, change your approach.
What is your view about this success formula?

Anyway, I find it very similar to Six Sigma phases of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC).
