“The committed person, win or lose, is the one who finds the real excitement in living.”

I wanted to share this quote with you today because hopefully it will give you the encouragement you need to start living at your next level.

“The committed person, win or lose, is the one who finds the real excitement in living.”

This is a classic example of how the beauty of our human experience is found in the process and not the outcome. We hear it all the time, it’s about the journey and not the destination. That’s not just a feel-good saying - the most successful people in the world have said over and over again that their happiness is not found in things or accolades. It’s in the pursuit of all of it that they feel most alive.

But what does it mean to be a committed person? As Teddy Roosevelt says, “it’s the person in the arena”. It’s putting yourself out there in ways that challenge you and evolve you. When you’re committed it means that you’re in it, finding your way and doing what you can to do better.

It’s so easy to be content with how things are. Where things aren’t that bad, but they aren’t that good either. It’s that space where it’s all ‘good enough’ and you don’t feel really motivated to do anything about it. This is where too many people spend their lives and miss out on all of the richness, excitement, and enthusiasm life has to offer.

Being the committed person means doing things differently to create new results and experiences. It’s an intentional effort to bring consciousness to how you’re existing and not just exist. To create that consciousness you need to find your edge a little bit, to test your boundary, to expose yourself to ways that you can fail or put yourself in a position to make a mistake.

Why put yourself in that kind of situation? Because that’s where you find the real excitement in living. Win or lose, that’s where you feel most alive

And do you know what that requires? Being bold. Taking risks every once in a while, not letting fear or scarcity hold you back, being courageous and optimistic as you take action to shape your future.

So what can you do today to be this person? What have you been putting off, neglecting, ignoring, or fearful of that will unlock a world of opportunity should you work through it? If you don’t have an answer to that, I’m hosting a free live workshop today, August 31st at 5pm PT called Visioneering Dreams To Reality where you’ll get to clearly define what you want and lock in on what you need to do to achieve it.
