One of the best things you can do in life is keep your commitments to yourself.
There is no better way to build trust.
There is no better way to build confidence.
There is no better way to build personal momentum.
There is probably no better way to build a skyscraper. (But I have never done that so I’m not really qualified to say.)
Keep Your Commitments
Wake up when you say you will wake up.
Exercise when you say you will exercise.
Show up when you say you will show up. (Especially if you are a pilot, a superhero, or my cable guy.)
And don’t eat what you tell yourself you won’t eat. Even when that thing is a donut sprinkled with bacon and filled with Chick-fil-A nuggets and candy.
Resolve
Resolutions are a great idea.
The bad idea is not doing what you tell yourself you would do.
Which means that the best resolution you can make is to simply keep your commitments.
Getting Started
Start by committing to less.
Do everything you tell yourself you will do.
Because when you do that you will soon realize that you can do anything.
