100% Commitment

by Lee J. Colan

 

As we have all learned through some of life's harder lessons – whether it's helping a friend through a tough time, coaching a little league team or working on a critical project – giving our best always gets the best results.

The moment we totally commit ourselves and begin giving 100 percent, a certain momentum develops. People naturally gravitate to those who are fully committed and start working in the same direction. Total commitment results in a certain, magical boldness – a boldness that has magnetism and power.
