Very often by asking people, How many of you are committed to succeed? Very often not many people put up their hands. Only a couple. But what I found out in life is this, in life only five percent of people I've met, are truly committed to get the results they want in life, and are truly committed to succeed.

Now, does it mean to say that the ninety-five percent of people don't want to succeed?

Of course not, everybody wants to succeed. But the difference is that ninety-five percent of people, they want to succeed; they wish to succeed; they hope to succeed; they prefer to succeed; they would like to succeed, they think that they should succeed, but guess what they are not committed to succeed and commitment is the difference that makes a difference.

So what's the difference? The difference is when you're committed to do something, it becomes a must. It's not a should, it's not a could, it's not a like to, it's a must. Because when something is a must for you, you operate from a very different frame of mind. When something is a must, guess what, you will do whatever it takes to get it done, provided it is ethical, it's legal, and it's moral.

Unfortunately, many people don't work from this frame of mind. Most people only wish to succeed.

So they only do things as long as it's within their comfort zone. As long as they feel comfortable, as long as it is not too painful. Every time you push them beyond the comfort zone, guess what will they do?

They will keep within their comfort zone, give a lot of excuses and say, you know I can't do it because I don't have the time; I don't have the energy; I don't have the money; I don't have the resources I am not young enough. All kinds of excuses.

In the last ten, fifteen, twenty years of your life, have you ever wanted to do something, but you kept putting it on hold and not take any action?

At the same time, are there things in your life that you made sure you had them done?

Why is this so? The reason these things got done was because these things had become a must for you.

Whatever you really want to achieve in your life, make it a must.

So ask yourself this question truly, am I really committed to succeed?
