  COMMITTING TO TIME Punctuality is commitment and self-discipline combined. It's a key indicator for measuring our awareness of time, will to act on decisions and reliability to deliver. Saying what we mean and doing what we say, are the basic elements required to live a true and purposeful life. Time commitment is our master – commanded from, delivered to and received through the medium of punctuality – self-mastery in a mirrored form. In this regard, we should trust punctuality as a positive attribute to follow and adhere to. The affirmations we receive, after committing to a set time, should be based on our integrity of thought. It encourages mindfulness and consideration. When we agree to a time, we make a conscious choice first and foremost – a shared statement and agreement within ourselves before we agree with others. So, how important is punctuality – for how can we define a person that is always late...are they not the lowest character type – self-deceiver, an i...

  STEPPING UP TO THE TASK   When there's an arduous task ahead and a real need for us to step up our game to tackle it head-on, the fear of the task often becomes more of an obstacle to taking action than performing the actual task itself.  We tend to dwell on the idea of the task itself, the potential discomfort and the time frame we will likely have to endure this feeling, rather than focus on the mechanics and tools we’ll require to accomplish our goal. In the past, when my training for a long-distance run or cycle ride has been lacking, I’ve learned the hard way how to accomplish a tough task. I've had to endure discomfort. Fortunately, it taught me that no matter how tough the perceived task seemed before or felt during, the end result was always the same – I achieved the goal.   And despite the perceived toughness of the situation being confirmed throughout the ongoing hardship – fully realised throughout the entire experience – the ending always, ver...

  STAYING THE COURSE We're all capable of so much more than we realise. And through an ongoing and continued program of dedicated effort, able to accomplish great feats of endurance by building mental & physical strength to attain desired goals.  Unfortunately, what we lack, is the will and determination to continue on a dedicated program to arrive at our destination. In this sense, we can say that we lack, is the commitment.  Committing to something implies that we are keeping an obligation with ourselves to complete a task. We are removing the freedom of action which we ourselves govern. We are the jailer and the jailed all in one. And that's how many of us see the roles – especially when we're restricting ourselves in some way or taking on a particularly tough challenge where there are easier ways out instead. Keeping to the plan, staying on track and doing what we've set out to do, all  take strong will and a mental toughness. This we call self-discipline....

  BIG TALK How many times in our lives have we said we're going to do something and failed to deliver on it? Many times for sure - because talk is cheap. We often talk on autopilot and a lot of the time we don't even realise we're doing this. So, to deliver on what we're saying, we really need to be more mindful of what we are saying and what we can stick to.  Focussing On The Moment The worst time to have a conversation is when the mind is occupied with another task. If one attempts to engage in a conversation at the same time as performing another task, the mind disengages from comprehension and retention of information, In a compromised state, the person multi-tasking will likely agree to anything that's put to them - often to a disadvantage. Many have gotten wise to this fact and why distraction is often used as a tool for ensuring consent to desired plans. It's easy to respond to questions without thinking through what it is we  really  want to say first. I...
