"Be committed to your dreams" (James, 2012)
The definition of the commitment to which I am making reference is "an agreement or pledge to do something in the future;something pledged c : the state or an instance of being obligated or emotionally impelled <a commitment to a cause>" (merriam/webster.com).
Pledging to, agreeing to, obligating ourselves to, and being emotionally impelled to our dreams is not a small task. Most dreams are illusive, meaning deceiving or seemingly out of our reach. So many of those we view who attain their "dreams" are those who go about getting them by unscrupulous means, have been born into money, or come into large amounts of money suddenly are able to buy their dreams.
Don't be deceived. Dreams, just as personal success, come in a variety of forms. Not all of us have dreams which require money to attain them. Although our dreams many times DO appear illusive, being committed to achieving them only aids in our reaching personal success.
Riding this globe around the sun, can sometimes be overwhelming and
complicated. We dream of living better lives or achieving great goals.
Just as there are those born into wealth, however; there are many, who's present lives result from being born into difficult
circumstances or surviving tragedies.
No matter where we find ourselves, it is also a result of all the choices we’ve made along the way.
Yet we hear about people who overcame impossible odds to achieve wealth or fame. They’re often tales of being at the correct place at the correct time, a coincidence, or meeting the person who has connections just when they need to. What’s going on with this? Did the lucky few who made it find Aladdin’s magic lamp delivering these miracles? How do the rest of us get one of those?
Turns out we all have a magic lamp. It is our unshakeable commitment to achieve our dreams. No matter where we find ourselves, I believe this commitment is always inside and waiting to be tapped. But how do we tap it? How do we get the genie out of our own magic lamp so miracles happen for us?
It is my belief success — however each of us defines it — is achieved by following these steps:
If I can do it, anyone can. The secret is commitment, which at heart is a declaration we believe in ourselves.
Be committed to your dreams....and keep looking up. : ) AJ

- Choose to commit to your goal or dream.
- Pursue relentless action aligned to our commitment.
- Expect and have faith we will get help along the way.
- Show sincere gratitude for the help and results.
If I can do it, anyone can. The secret is commitment, which at heart is a declaration we believe in ourselves.
