Two Pinnacles of achievement meet at Everest

The Olympic flame, representing the pinnacle of sport, was lit atop another pinnacle of human achievement, Mt Everest, just a couple of hours ago. It is a poignant moment for those who aspire to reach either of these great heights share a common mindset. It's a mindset of commitment to do whatever it takes to reach a goal, it's a mindset of purpose and it is a mindset of self-belief, knowing that oneself has got what it takes to do what it sets out to do.
I was inspired today by a fellow results and performance coach about how he was committed to singing the national anthem at this year's State of Origin match at Suncorp Stadium. Don Bemrose writes of the importance of DECIDING and COMMITTING and the success that follows as a result of these chief TWO ingredients to getting what you want in life.
This very same day I was talking to a lady that felt she had failed to reach certain goals in the past because they hadn't been "realistic". That is just another word for 'excuse' or "I coulda, woulda, shoulda". If you are questioning whether a goal is realistic or not, then you are not committing to making that goal happen.
A champion who makes it to the Olympics, to the top of Everest or to singing a national anthem is committed to doing whatever it takes to get there. What can you decide to do today and commit to achieving? Declare it here so that others can hear your commitment.
