How are you at keeping your commitments? You may wonder what keeping commitments has to do with materializing your goals, the answer is a lot. The two go hand in hand. I would go so far as to say that if you generally don't keep your commitments, you probably also struggle to reach your goals.
The reality is that reaching your goals requires keeping all of your commitments to the most important person, yourself. This is where many of us tend to fall short. We get so worried about keeping others happy, but we are OK with letting ourselves down. This is completely backwards.
Now, I am not suggesting that you should disregard your commitments to others, but I am saying that you should put just as much importance on the commitments you make to yourself as you do your commitments to others.
For many of us the solution here is to make sure that we do not over commit to others. Before you make any commitments to others make sure that you are able to keep those commitments while still reaching your personal commitments that bring you closer to achieving your goals.
