Hi, this is Brian with another mini chapter from a Philosopher's Notes. This one's called recommitment. It's easy to commit to something, whether it's losing weight, no longer yelling at the kids or spouse or colleagues or all of the above, creating that business, writing the screenplay, whatever. It's an entirely different thing to actually honor that commitment. Especially when you're all up in your stuff and you don't feel like it and that whiny little gremlin in your head is taking over the airwaves. Hate when that happens. To actually rock it. Step one, commitment. Step two, recommitment. Step three, recommitment. Step four, recommitment. And step five. You get the idea. How about you? Do you need to recommit to something? Recommitment. It's what it's all about. It's easy to commit when we're inspired, but we've got to recommit when we don't feel as inspired. Take that next baby step. Hold the dynamic tension between your ideal and your current reality by recommitting and taking constructive action. That's what it's all about. Now, what needs to get done in light of that? Commitment and recommitment. Recommitment. Hope you dug it. Here's to recommitting to our most important goals consistently throughout our days. All right, have an awesome day. Look forward to sharing more with you soon.
