I was reading the weekly post by Charles Ngo yesterday.

He is sharing a story of how he persist in his journey to lose weight while his friends quit half way.

The reason?

Here is his explanation:

"Why am I still going? I don't set goals...I make commitments.

What does a commitment mean when it comes to losing weight?

* I invested in a personal trainer

* I invested in a daily meal delivery plan that hits my macros / calories.

* I make sure I'm in bed by 10pm every night

Has it been tough? Yes.

I'm craving Belgian waffles, pasta, steak, etc. as we speak. I HATE doing cardio. When I'm going to the gym...in the back of my head I'm thinking I should be working on my campaigns.

But I don't let the Sirens tempt me. I made a commitment to myself."

Another analogy he shared is:

What do people do at weddings? They make commitments to each other.
Could you imagine someone saying, "I am making it a goal to stay faithful to you"

Not Just Setting Goal, Commit.

Is this resonate at your end?
