Battling for your goals
Posted on 12/07/2018 ·
What does commitment mean to you? Checking off points on your to do list on a regular basis? What if we told you that this is all bullsh**? That this doesn’t mean anything? Wake up, rose. It’s time to set the record straight.
So what does real commitment mean then?
It means accepting that your goal is out of reach for the moment but still deciding to work for it, while knowing the path to get there will be hard. It means dedicating yourself completely to achieving your goal and realizing your dream, no matter what you have to give. It means pushing through those moments of frustration and weakness, when others convince themselves that they cannot go further and are willing to give in. Commitment is the combination of pain, failure and victory. It’s giving everything. Every time. It’s what differentiates Free Athletes from others.
Being committed means investing into your future. An investment paid not only in time and energy, but in sweat, tears, muscles shaking with weakness, and overcoming the belief that you don’t have what it takes. Why do you do this? Because you know that you have to go through hell to get the results.
So the question that remains is: Do you believe in your goal bad enough to give yourself to it? Are you ready to commit yourself to your dream?
We know what it takes. Getting out there with nothing but a mission. The decision to go through with it. No matter the exhaustion. No matter the struggle. No matter the discouraging voices around you. You go fight the fight, and execute what you set your mind to. It all comes down to one thing: your determination and your belief in yourself. It all becomes clear in moments after pushing past what you thought was possible. Your victory – your awakening.
Always remember: commitment won’t stay consistent if it is measured in completed tasks or trophies won, these are external, and the great feeling they give will eventually fade. It must be measured by how often you got back up after you failed. How often your mind said you couldn’t but you did. How often you had a vision that burned inside you and you chased it with everything you had. Commitment must be measured by your presence in every moment and the slow but constant awakening of your true self.
