The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love.

Step into the challenge

The more you do, the more you’re able to do. Your abilities grow stronger as you use them, so your best strategy is to get busy and use them.

The feeling that you cannot do something is often powerful, and can feed upon itself. The way to get beyond it is with action.

Any project you contemplate may at first seem overwhelming. That’s understandable, because you haven’t even taken the first step.

Once you take that first step, though, the challenge begins to feel more manageable. As soon as you actually begin the effort, you also begin to get better at doing it.

When the mountain is in the distance, it’s difficult to imagine how you could climb it. Once you’re on the path up the mountain, though, you’ll always be able to easily see the next step and take it.

Go ahead and begin the effort. Amaze yourself by discovering how very much you can do.
