Hi Friends,
As we’re finishing up the year I’m reminded of how I started the year before lock down was in place. I created a goal of writing my newsletter every month on time with no excuses. When June rolled around, and we moved into more of the same, people kept saying “why not just drop it”. I began asking myself the same question. Sometimes it’s better to just walk away when you are in over your head or it no longer makes sense. In my case, there was something important to me, in seeing it through. Maybe it’s the fact that I always get emails or calls from people who read them, thanking me for the support and I’m humbled and encouraged if it helps just one person; Or maybe it”s because I had already declared that this was my goal. Finishing the objective you set out to do has more to do with you strengthening your own sense of self and trust in honoring what you say you’ll do, than anything else. I’m happy to say I’m almost to the finish line, with one month to go. Here’s the article I wrote way back in June called Why Goals matter, if you by chance want to check it out. I’m really happy to say I’m almost to the finish line.
What is Commitment?
Commitment is showing up and keeping your word.
It’s doing what you say you will do, even on the days you don’t want to.
It’s creating a schedule and adherhing to it, even when you want to stay in bed with the covers over your head or watch movies all day.
What happens if you fall down and blow it?

You simply get back up when you do, and begin again.
No one is perfect, so don’t beat yourself up.
Beating yourself up is the booby prize, and makes things worse, wallowing in your woe is me, So forgive yourself when you derail and get back on track.. All great leaders, authors, executives, coaches etc, know this, and you are no different.
Dust yourself off and begin again, no excuses, no spilled milk. Bring the cat in to lap it up, if you have to. Yep, it’s as easy as that!
If you only reach 80 % of your intended goal, then guess what? You are way ahead of the game and on your way to creating whatever it is you want.
Stay the course, keep your committment to you and pretty soon you will see your deepest desires, manifested.
Your WHY might have to be reviewed to keep your eye on the prize.
So make sure you have your Why somewhere where you can see it everyday!
Why do you want what you want? Why is it important to you?
Make sure you are doing it for YOU.
How will YOU feel after if you stay the course and complete your objective?
Allow it to speak to the part inside of you that wants to emerge.
Fan it, write it, breath it, make it your Mantra!
Committ to your highest purpose and stay the course.
Dreams are manifested from this place.
Keep Going, You’re almost there!
Hooray for you, you are doing it!
You are a bright Star in the Universe!
Here are the steps to help you stay the course.
What do you Want?
What’s your Why? Post it in several places
Make a Schedule.
Stick to it.
Afirm small steps EVERY DAY!!!

Every step towards love is a commitment ♥ Today I wrote a similar post entitled, “Life is what you make it”. We all need to make and keep small promises to ourselves to be a bit better than we were yesterday. Give of love freely and often. Intentional and mindful living. Looking forward to sharing Wednesday yoga practice with you. Lots of love my dear sister Cindy, in light and in shadow, always with love ❤

Thank you for this beautiful reminder, dearest Cindy….your words make so much sense….and the way you write your posts is simply brilliant….plain, precise & meaningful words….”Finishing the objective you set out to do has more to do with you strengthening your own sense of self and trust in honoring what you say you’ll do, than anything else.”….very relatable….it’s like giving the word & keeping it without any excuses & noise….keep writing….keep expressing ❤️

You make a good coach, Cindy. 🙂 A little vision, clear goals, an action plan, follow up and modification when necessary, and a schedule can move mountains. And, of course, one step at a time. Great post. –Curt

Moving mountains that you take such great pictures of!!! Let’s hope we can get the boulders out and move a few rebels. Hope you got my message on your post! 💕 Cindy
Lots of boulders out there, Cindy. I’ll be happy if we can just nudge them in a new direction. As for comment, I hope so. I try to respond to all comments, but sometimes I’m a little tardy. 🙂 –Curt

Well done Cindy.
‘Make sure you are doing it for YOU.
How will YOU feel after if you stay the course and complete your objective?
Allow it to speak to the part inside of you that wants to emerge’
Bit like writing poetry. I mainly do it for myself. To bring what’s inside up, and out.
Saw a sign the other day outside a fitness centre ‘the first thing in succeeding is just turning up’. I thought so true……
Good Morning Don, Yes, it’s all really the same thing as we open our eyes and speak from our heart. OOH I love the sign, it’s so true! Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
❤️ Cindy
Great reminder! And yes… plowing through even when everybody says “just quit” even when your own self is screaming “why? What’s the point?”
Sometimes the answer is “because I said I would”
That’s when inner strength shines the most!
Congratulations on seeing your goal through to the end! 🥳
Oh i wish i could go back in and add those words Beck cuz of course I hear those a lot too! I’ve gotten so good at this now, it’s a natural to keep going even with the screaming. I might need to just jump ship once in awhile. lol. thanks for the congrats. and now I get to say…. Now what? what about this year.. I can already hear the churnning of the mind with the answere , “well of course” why would you stop now. lol. Have a wonderful day!!
❤️ ❤️❤️Cindy
Exactly! It’s a habit now right?
TOTALLY!!! ❤️
Make your bed ☺️ my mom would always say 🤓 just a little completion feels good even on the hardest days … I feel everyone is doing the best they know how … always a delight Cindy and meaningful ~ hugs and joy hedy ☺️🤗💛
That’s so cute those words stuck in your head. She’s right, sometimes it’s that small of a thing that make us feel better. Yes, we are always trying to do our best and that’s good enough. Thanks Hedy and have a wonderful day.
What a pep talk, Cindy, and good for you for sticking to your commitments! I always (unless something beyond my control happens) fulfill my commitments to others, but I’m pretty forgiving otherwise. Goals and perseverance pay off, but I fail a lot too. I chalk it up to a learning experience, and reevaluate my priorities and consider what I really want. Am I doing something because I “should” or because I was told to? I’m too old for that! Lol.
oh thanks Diana and I love what you said at the end and we should never should on ourselves for sure! You have without a doubt shown what dedication is releasing your books and the incredible care you provided for your parents.. There are so many committments, I too have to continue to evaluate! Have a lovely day and thanks for reading and your insights. ❤️ Cindy
Yet another wonderfully uplifting write! I loved how you explained commitment! It’s amazing that you were able to do everything you wanted to do and I feel so happy for you!👏❤️
You are so dear and I really appreciate your kind thought and happiness for me. It shows your genuine caring heart. Thank you so much for reading and stopping in with your kind share. Have a great day! ❤️ Cindy
My pleasure!🤗💕
😍🥰😘
I totally agree.so important to keep your commitments. When I slip up I remind myself “I love you I respect you and I forgive you “ keeping my heart open helps me to stay on track.keep on keeping on dear Cindy you are an inspiration.
Oh I love your mantra and kind encouragement you give yourself to keep yourself encouraged! That’s awesome Marlene. Thanks so much for dropping in and your very kind comment. Have a beautiful Day and lots of love!
❤️❤️❤️Cindy
It’s a marvel how you stayed motivated and achieved this goal of sending newsletter with addition to writing blogposts.
I am greatly encouraged by your outstanding feat and I’m not going to be beating myself up as much anymore when I don’t meet up to certain tasks.
I’ll dust myself up and get back to work.
Thanks for the encouragement, I feel like a champ already. 😊
Oh Ero! Wow, you get me alright and that truly is the best gift of my day!!! I am not sure how I do it at times either and yet I keep breathing and letting go of the beat up, trust and turn it over while I too dust myself off.
Thank you for sharing your encouraging thoughts that always make my day.
YOU ARE A CHAMP!!!! For sure to me!!!
❤️ Cindy
You’re very welcome!!! 😊
💕🙏
🤗
what a wonderful way to help others be reminded of their purpose in life… the pandemic has changed our lives but not our perspectives and values.
Thanks Mich and what a great way to put that!!! yes indeed you are sooooo right about that! Thanks so much for your thoughts and kind read! ❤️Cindy
I made goals when I was sent to work from home in March. They have taken me further thank imagined. It it feels right, that does not mean easy, stay the course.
It’s not as easy as it seems but YAY for you with your video!!!! So excited for you!! ❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏 Cindy
Thanks friend!
You’re so welcome! ❤️
Reblogged this on The Reluctant Poet.
Hi Dear Chuck! Thank you so much! ❤️ Cindy
Always a joy reading and sharing your posts with followers, My Dear!!
xoxox 😘💕🌹😁
You are a gift to me and so many others! ❤️🤗❤️🤗🌸🙏
It is great advice yet again my friend, I have had a bit of difficulty staying on track with all my goals lately but this has motivated me to work harder at it. Thank you maybe I just needed some encouragement Cindy. Thanks my friend, I know I will feel better if I stick to my schedule. It is especially important to have one these days with all the crazy stuff going on. Love you my friend. Joni
awww thanks so much Joni! I’m so glad this spoke to you! It’s not easy and I think it’s tough because on one hand with all that’s going on, it’s easy to say why bother. And I think deprioritizing is important. You’re right it does feel better when we do what we set out to do even with so much going on around us. You’re welcome. Love you Joni! ❤️ Cindy
Sending more love ❤️🤗💕You are so welcome dear Cindy. Love you Joni
You are the best!!! 💕❤️💕❤️💕🤔
❤️💕🤗
I think I have commitment issues.
Starting is easy for me
We all do…….
Just keep going unless you’re Belgrade’s for a truck 🛻
Then run like hell!
