Success takes commitment. And people think commitment is oh, I'm going to do this thing over and over again and I'm going to be consistent at it. That's not commitment. Commitment is to be accountable for a goal and something bad or something good happens whether you do or do not achieve that goal. For example, if you're exercising right, you're doing, you're trying to build your strength, you could say like hey, I'm just going to do push ups every day and I'm going to get stronger. That's partially true. But if you're, if you have a specific goal that I want to be able to do 200 pushups in five minutes and I'm going to work towards that, then you know what you're going to do, you're going to get a lot stronger. Right? And the point you're making is the most important clarity somebody can provide is what the actual goal is, what the outcome is.
