Many people consistently complain about not getting something; about not achieving their goals; and about all the obstacles and problems that make their life "oh so difficult". These people would immediately quit complaining the moment they realized that: we don't get what we want; we only get what we are 100 percent committed to. In other words, unless you are fully committed to something, you don't have a hope in the world of bringing your desires into reality.
The problem is that many people never really fully commit to anything meaningful and worthwhile. What they see as "commitment" is nothing more than the act of simply being merely "interested" in something, and unfortunately, that just isn't enough.
Commitment goes beyond "merely being interested" in something. To commit to something means blocking out other possible alternatives while focusing all your attention and efforts on one definitive objective. This is important because this "focus of attention" provides a sense of certainty that specific outcomes will be realized.
