		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-513" title="commitment" src="http://www.anthonydcarter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/342-VanGogh-thumbnail-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />To succeed at goal setting you need to make a commitment. Your dreams and desires don&#8217;t happen on their own.  For high <a href="http://www.anthonydcarter.com/category/achievement">achievement</a> you need to commit to the necessary work habits.  Be accountable to yourself and others. Make a <a href="http://www.anthonydcarter.com/category/decision">decision</a> to succeed. All chance disappears when you make a decision.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back&#8211; Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one&#8217;s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.&#8221;  ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>When you make a decision to succeed and you back that decision with a commitment you will gain strength and confidence. You see, making a true decision and taking action on that decision eliminates confusion and hesitation. If you have committed to go in a certain direction then your goal will dictate the decisions that you make. Every problem that you face will be solved through the prism of your main objective.</p>
<p>When you are committed to your goal, then you can ask yourself one question: &#8220;Will doing this take  me closer to my goal or will it lead me farther away from my goal?&#8221;</p>
<p>Pick your goal and lock in on it. Give your all. Throw yourself into it. Be all in. Go all out. Commitment is a source of power that you need to tap into. Harness that power by committing to your goal.</p>
<p>Do not let anything take your focus off of your main goal. You will be tested, but if you pay the price you will be glad that you did. So often the biggest task that we have to perform is keeping our minds on what we want.</p>
<p>A firm commitment intensifies your focus. If you are continually focused on what you want then you will increase the speed at which you get it. I have found that when I really want to do or have something then I must lock in on it and commit to getting it done. After doing so I know that I will eventually succeed. Success begins with a decision, followed with a commitment and backed up with a consistent work ethic.</p>
<p>In other words make your dream become something that you &#8220;have to have&#8221; rather than something that is just &#8220;nice to have.&#8221; Do not settle for less than your ideal. Visualize it everyday, set a goal and work as hard as it takes to have it.</p>

<div id="body">
<p>To get what you want you need to follow some specific principles.  There are certain steps that guide you to your dream. Here are 7 tips  for getting what you want.</p>
<p><strong>Decide.</strong> Figure out  what you really want. Make a decision on what matters most to you. List  the reasons why it is important that you must have it. Make a commitment  to do what it takes to get it. Once you make your decision you gain  clarity.</p>
<p><strong>Plan.</strong> Come up with a plan for  accomplishing your goal. It is important that you lay out the steps that  you need to take. Your plan keeps you on track. Your plan gives you a  means of charting your progress. You will know how close you are to  hitting your goal by examining how far along you are with completion of  your plan.</p>
<p><strong>Focus.</strong> Keep your attention on where  you want to go. Focus on what you want and not on what you don&#8217;t want.  As you focus on what you want you will recognize opportunities. You will  be able to turn certain situations to your advantage because you are  able to see ways in which those situations will enable you to get  another step closer to what you want.</p>
<p><strong>Work.</strong> Do  the work that you have laid out in your plan. Doing the work keeps your  attitude positive. You are encouraged when you take consistent steps by  applying a solid work ethic. The positive results which come from your  work fuels your motivation. The more good results you experience the  more motivated you will be to take additional action.</p>
<p><strong>Change.</strong> Be willing to change in order to get what you want. You will have to  change in some kind of way. If you could have what you want by staying  the same then you would have had what you wanted a long ago. Be willing  to change your habits, your mindset, your location or anything else so  that you can obtain what you desire.</p>
<p><strong>Associate.</strong> Spend time with people who can and will help you. Do not hang around  people who put you down or ridicule you because of your dream.  You need  to surround your self with positive supportive people. You want to be  in the company of people who encourage and inspire you.</p>
<p><strong>Persist.</strong> Keep on keeping on. Never give up. Keep doing what it takes to have  what you want. Your persistence will be rewarded. Most people stop one  step away from the finish line. Commit to finishing what you have  started so that you get the reward that you have worked so hard for.</p>

<p>There is a moment in which a dream more than a mere wish. That moment happens when you make a decision. A dream begins to become real at the very moment that you decide to take action towards making it a reality in your life. Here are 7 tips to for achieving your dreams.</p>
<p><strong>1-Decide</strong> to go after it. Once you make a decision to get what you want then all chance disappears.  Your decision creates commitment.  Once you make a quality decision then it is no longer a matter of if you will get what you want. Rather it becomes a matter of when. Make that decision and commit to doing whatever it takes to get what you want.<br />
<strong><br />
2-Set goals</strong> to get what you desire. Goal setting does wonders for your confidence and belief level. Write you goals down. When you write out your goals you are giving yourself a target to hit. You can also create a game plan from goals. When you work towards hitting your goals you are taking an active role in creating the conditions for realizing the physical manifestation of your dream.</p>
<p><strong>3-Do something</strong> to move yourself forward. Take action everyday. Always take strides towards getting what you want. You never know which action may end up being the one which opens the door to your dream.</p>
<p><strong>4-Use a system</strong> to get what you want. Find someone who has done what you want to do and duplicate the part of their plan that worked for them. Applying a proven system saves you time, money and frustration.</p>
<p><strong>5-Be willing to change</strong> in order to get what you want. Your dream will always require you to change in some way. Flow with it. Don’t fight the need to change. Don&#8217;t be stubborn. Don&#8217;t try to do what you have always done and expect to get different results. That is a form of insanity.</p>
<p><strong>6-Apply faith</strong> to what you do. Faith is an action word. Too many people remain in a constant state of waiting and call that faith. You can’t just sit around and wait for your ship to come in. Sometimes you have to swim out to meet it. Waiting will not get done. Take action with belief. That is what I mean by applying faith. Step out and do the proper work with confidence that what you are doing is going to give you the results that you want.</p>
<p><strong>7-Be quite</strong> about what you are trying to attempt. Keep your dreams goals and plans to yourself. No one has to know except the people who support you. When you constantly share your dreams, plans and ambitions with everyone that you know then you are setting yourself up for failure. It is better to just do it and tell people how you did it after you have already done it.</p>
