Here’s why commitment matters to me…

One of the most valuable things that I feel that I can show and teach my girls is the importance of COMMITMENT and DAILY DEDICATED EFFORT.

I spend my days showing and teaching them this because I feel that is the best way to create success and the life that you truly want.

I know that…

It is because I was committed to my health that I have recovered to this point (nothing about the protocol was easy to begin with).

It was because I was committed to put the book out that I made it happen (my brain wanted to fight what I felt called to do on a daily basis but I committed and now it is making an impact in the world).

It was because I was committed to create the life that I truly want that we found this home on the acreage (it took me almost a year of looking and traveling to make this happen for us).

A high level of COMMITMENT CREATES the best chance possible for SUCCESS.

My oldest understood commitment when she danced at a high level and she is now understanding commitment and dedicated effort in an even bigger way in her first year of Engineering.

My youngest is realizing that committed effort is enabling her to move up in rank in her gymnastics program quicker that had been expected.

My red-headed girly has already shown that commitment can conquer anything. She, at age 10, has already committed hours of clay work through the Ron Davis Method to create an easier solution to reading and math because her dyslexia and dyscalculia. In fact, the teachers didn’t even know this year.

There is something that you want.

How COMMITTED are you on a daily basis to taking the action required to make it happen?

Are you willing to do whatever it takes?

Are you willing to say NO so that you can say YES to what you truly want?

Are you modelling commitment to your children, your team and those closest to you?

Commitment creates success.

If things aren’t happen as fast as you want or not happening at all, you have a commitment issue.

Get committed to doing whatever it takes on a daily basis. Your health, your relationships, your work and your life will radically change when you do.

It likely won’t feel easy but it will be worth it.

Live your life with purpose, be YOU.

What’s your WHY?

Knowing WHY you want something different in any area of your life (in your relationships, with your work, for your health and in your personal growth) is the ONE THING that will keep you going when you want to quit.

And you will want to quit at some point.

At some point, the work won’t be fun, there will be so many things to overcome that it will feel hard to continue and the way won’t always be totally clear.

Your reason WHY, the deep reason WHY you want to shift your life will keep you going, keep you focused and create the pull needed to not stop.

Want to know how to figure out your reason WHY?

Listen in to Episode 136: Choosing your WHY of Ninja Jill KNOWS.

Your reason why is the vital component in fulfilling your purpose, following the call of your soul and creating more of the life that you want.

Do you KNOW yours?

Is it clear?

If not listen in and share this with anyone you know that needs to figure theirs out too and if you need a little extra help, check out this worksheet to help you determine your why. Click here for the free worksheet.

It’s easy to be hard on yourself

Being kind to you is hard.

It’s easy to see the negative in the situation. Focusing on and learning the lesson can be hard.

It’s easy to blame everyone else for the issues in your life. It’s hard to take full responsibility for the state of your life.

It’s easy to quit. It’s hard to stop stopping.

It’s easy to put it off, make a bunch of excuses and stay in your comfort zone. It’s hard to take the leap, keep doing the work even when you don’t want to and get comfortable being uncomfortable.

You can choose easy but it will be hard to actually achieve your dreams, desires and goals.

OR

You can choose hard and with it, strengthen your mindset and realize that the capacity and personal growth that happens when it’s hard actually helps you achieve your dreams, desires and goals.

Are you choosing easy or are you willing to expand and grow and live the life you truly want?

And remember, it’s only “hard” if you believe it be.

What are you choosing to focus on?

When something happens (because stuff always happens), what are you looking at?

Do you focus on all the negative stuff?
Do you go straight to problem solving?
Do you look for the lesson?

How do you react?

Are you dramatic?
Are you complacent?
Are you accepting of what is?

All of this matters.

Why?

Well, stuff is always going to happen in our lives. Things that we don’t want to happen will still happen and how you CHOOSE TO LOOK AT IT defines how you will REACT TO IT and take the action needed to CHANGE IT.

So, how do you choose to look at things? The sooner that you can accept what is, make a plan and see the lesson, the faster you will move through the situation and continue to create what you most in your life.

I dive into this even more in one my latest podcast episodes. Take a listen to Episode 117: Choose to look at it that way to learn more about the importance of how you look at things at what you can do to shift how you see things. If this message resonates with you, please share it, rate and review it on iTunes for me or sign up to never miss an episode on iTunes here and PASS IT ON. I’d really appreciate it.

You are in charge of how you choose to look at things and ultimately your reaction and the action you take to try to change it. It’s always your choice.

Live your life with purpose, do YOU.

Simplify it!

Keep the simple stuff SIMPLE.

That is seriously one of the biggest ways to conserve your energy, save time and get more stuff done.

I’ve worked very hard to simplify things in my life so that when something goes sideways, I have the time, energy and effort to deal with it or when I have a big project I’m working on or the girls need something, I have the time, energy and effort to deal with.

I keep my home simple (aka clutter free and everything put away, every night).

I keep the meals simple (clean eating with a focus on organic meat and a ton of veggies and fruit) and I make a weekly meal plan (doubling recipes for nights when I’m busy and crock potting on the other days).

I shop on the same day, I work during a certain time each day and I do laundry on the weekend. Simple.

I keep what I wear simple (black and blue jeans and red lips pretty much daily).

I keep my and my girls morning and evening routines on point and simple.

KEEP THE SIMPLE STUFF SIMPLE.

Don’t complicate it.
Don’t dramatize it.
Don’t make it harder.

Drop the stories that you are creating from the simple stuff.

That way, you are READY for when the big stuff happens. You will need the extra energy for the crises, for the celebrations and for the big shifts in your life.

Live your life with purpose, do YOU!
