Vince Lombardi on Commitment

"Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but because of lack of commitment."

- Vince Lombardi

Why Growth Only Follows Commitment

When you commit yourself wholeheartedly, you tap into a wellspring of inner strength and resilience. Commitment is the unwavering dedication to a goal or purpose, fueled by a deep-rooted belief in its significance. It is the driving force that propels you forward, even when faced with challenges and adversity.

Commitment is not an easy path, but it is a rewarding one. It requires resilience, sacrifice, and an unyielding belief in our own potential.

  • Commitment breeds discipline.

  • Commitment breeds consistency.

  • Commitment is the daily choice to prioritize your goals.

  • Commitment is to make sacrifices.

  • Commitment is to invest our time and energy wisely.

True commitment transcends mere interest or passion; it requires a steadfast resolve to persevere, to stay the course despite setbacks, and to continually strive for excellence. It is a pledge you make to yourself, an unwritten contract that demands our unwavering loyalty and resilience.

10 Questions to Test Your Commitment Level

Reflecting and asking yourself questions helps you grow, learn, and understand yourself better. Here are 10 questions to ask yourself about your current activities, goals, and commitments:

  1. Am I consistently setting clear and meaningful goals for myself?

  2. Do I prioritize my time and energy to focus on what truly matters?

  3. Am I willing to go the extra mile and put in the necessary effort?

  4. Do I persist even when faced with obstacles or setbacks?

  5. Am I constantly seeking opportunities for growth and improvement?

  6. Do I hold myself accountable for my actions and choices?

  7. Am I actively seeking feedback and using it to enhance my performance?

  8. Do I maintain a positive attitude and believe in my abilities?

  9. Am I willing to make sacrifices and step out of my comfort zone?

  10. Do I genuinely believe in the importance and value of what I'm striving for?
