Why do so many people today struggle with commitment? Maybe you are having difficulties yourself.
This is happening with our personal and business relationships, careers, business small businesses and network marketing. It seems to spam all age groups.
For example, young children who don’t want to be bothered going to soccer practice after the novelty wears off. Another example is Baby Boomers who suddenly tire of and dump their spouses after 40 or more years.
Why do so many people launch with great enthusiasm into new ventures, but then lose interest with the first obstacle? Why do so many people so easily abandon their goals. Many justify giving up by blaming the economy, the recession, the company with whom they are working, whatever excuse sounds good – even the weather.
In most cases, in reality, the real reason is lack of commitment. Why are so many people lacking commitment? Some reasons are based on our background, our upbringing or lack of self-discipline.
Some of the reasons related to a specific goal could be:
- The goal is too big and feels impossible to achieve.
- The goal is too small, so the reward is not worth the effort.
- The wrong goal … setting goals on others’ expectations, not your own.
Is it too late to hope for improvement? No, the recession has brought many people face-to-face with a new reality. A new generation is learning that a college education is no longer a ticket to a job for life and a pension. That financial security depends more than ever on developing our own income from more than one source.
So what is your level of commitment?
