The Magic of Keeping Your Commitments
I mean, who else is going to do it?
You may already know this…
But on December 19th, 2019 — my 30th birthday — I made a commitment to myself. And that commitment was that I would write and publish a new article every day for at least a year.
The idea was simple:
Sharpen my writing skills and get used to producing content on a consistent basis. I told myself as long as I did this, it would open every door I ever needed in my life.
I wasn’t wrong, either.
Today’s article is #271.
And my life has changed completely since I started this.
Incredible opportunities have fallen from the sky… Life-changing relationships have materialized out of nowhere… My work is being seen, read, and appreciated more each passing day.
All because I kept my word and stayed committed to my goal.
Yes, sometimes I don’t know what to write about.
Yes, sometimes I’d rather not write anything at all.
Yes, sometimes I stare at a blank screen and curse the task at hand.
But I do it anyway.
I keep my commitment.
I sit down and do the work because I know the work will pay off.
In fact, it has paid off — in ways I can’t even begin to describe.
But if I would’ve taken the easy route… or not written something because I didn’t feel like… or told myself it was okay to miss a day here and there…
I’d never be where I am today.
I’d never be enjoying the fruits of my own labor.
And I sure as heck wouldn’t have 270 articles under my belt.
But you know what? I do have 270 articles under my belt — and I’m damn proud of it, too.
I have no doubt the next hundred will take me even further.
Halt right there!
