Today’s Mandala Message: Give It Your All
This week I’m working through Principle #35 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “99% is a Bitch; 100% is a Breeze”. I set my intention today to ponder how committed I am about making my dreams/goals/aspirations a reality. Canfield states: “Successful people adhere to the “no exceptions rule” when it comes to their daily disciplines. Once you make a 100% commitment to something, there are no exceptions. It’s a done deal.” What makes this concept a “breeze” is that it eliminates second-guessing. You/me/we already declared our commitment, so we don’t have to question or wonder about what we’re going after. Instead we do what we need to do to make things happen…we give it our all.
Until I started writing this today, I realized that there are some dreams/goals/aspirations that I may only be at about 90% or in some cases a lot lower. I know now that I need to review these to find out 1) do I really want to do them? 2) if yes, then am I willing to make a 100% commitment to them? 3) if not, then I need to either make adjustments to them or toss them out completely.
A good mindfulness practice would be to ponder being willing to give it your all when it comes to going after what you want.
So how about you? Are you willing to give it your all to go after your dreams? Can you give 100% towards them? What would hold you back?
“You need to make

a commitment,
and once you make it,
then life will give you
some answers.”
