Do you ever sit in a conversation where everybody furiously agrees, leave feeling great about what you’ve decided – but then nothing happens?
I see this a lot.
Everything important you've ever achieved has required commitment - from diversity to employment, marriage, and children. Involvement isn't enough. As the saying goes, the difference between involvement and commitment is like a bacon and egg breakfast. The chicken was involved, but the pig was committed.
Good decisions are not about what we should do or will try to do. They're about what we will do. Fuzzy decisions fail. Good decisions demand a genuine commitment to action, which means:
A) Being extremely careful about what we say yes to, or tacitly agree to
B) Only saying what we mean
C) Taking tangible action that backs up our promises, as soon as possible.
When it comes to change, commit or quit.
The longer you leave it, the more likely it will die.
