Are You Committed Or Are You Just Interested?

"There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in something, you do it only when it's convenient; when you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” - Ken Blanchard

Committed people achieve results. Interested people stand on the edge wonder why life is not happening for them?

The question is not can I succeed in life? but will do what ever it takes to move you life forwards?

Now, ask yourself: Are you just interested, or are you truly committed to achieving your goals and dreams?

If you find yourself saying, "I'm interested," consider this: will just being interested change your life?

Interest doesn't change results. If you say, "I'm committed," Are you really committed? half committed is not an option, but really committed is the path to the success you seek?

Take a moment and consider this:

Many believe success is a straight line—one clear path from start to finish. But is it really? The journey to success is often winding and tumultuous, filled with confusion, fears, doubts, failures, mistakes, and obstacles. It's anything but straight.

Take a look back at history:

• Albert Einstein couldn’t speak until he was four years old.

• Thomas Edison was told by his teachers he was "too stupid to learn anything."

• Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper for "lack of imagination" and "no original ideas."

• Steve Jobs was devastated and depressed when he was unceremoniously removed from the company he founded at age 30.

• Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team for "lack of skill."

  
  

What do all these stories tell us? Each of these individuals wasn’t just interested—they were committed. They faced rejection, failure, and adversity, but they remained steadfast in their dedication. Their results speak for themselves.

Will you stand the test of commit or ride the wave of just interested?

Growing up, I too was held back by limiting beliefs:

• "You can never achieve that because..."

• "Don’t dream big, it will never come true."

• "My life will never change or get better."

I felt unworthy, undeserving of anything good in life. Unsupported, I didn’t believe a good life was possible. I faced emotional and mental abuse, later physical abuse. My self-worth, self-esteem, and confidence were shattered.

But then, I came across a life-changing video by John Assaraf on the Impact Theory. His message was a huge inspiration—a spark that ignited my path to commitment. If I could turn my life around, so can you.

Are you ready to move beyond your fears and doubts, to step out of mere interest and into full commitment? Your magnificent life is waiting for you—if you dare to commit.

If You Are Commited You'll Do Whatever It Takes.

Are You Committed or Just Interested?

This life-altering question was posed to John Assaraf by his first mentor, Alan Brown, and it became the turning point in John's journey:

"Are you interested in achieving your goals and living the life of your dreams, or are you truly committed to making it happen?"

John’s response was hesitant: "Uh...man. I don’t...well, what’s the difference?"

Here’s the difference between being interested and being committed:

Interested?

- You’ll do what’s convenient and easy.

- You’ll come up with stories and excuses about why you can’t.

- You’ll let your past or present circumstances dictate what you think and do.

- You won’t endure the discomfort of change—even though change is absolutely necessary if you’re serious about breaking free from your current beliefs, habits, and results.

Committed?

- You’ll do whatever it takes.

- You’ll take action despite your doubts and fears.

- You’ll upgrade your knowledge, skills, and belief system to expand what’s possible for you.

- If you’re truly committed, you’ll let go of anything holding you back.

Check the list above and ask yourself honestly—which mindset describes you?

A Turning Point

Years ago, I sought help from a doctor. His answer? Antidepressants.

After taking them, I had a reaction that made me feel like I could fly out a window. I thought I was Superwoman. I went back to the doctor, and he handed me another set of tablets. I asked him:

"What’s the chance I can get off these tablets and not be depressed?"

His response was blunt: "You will always be depressed, and you’ll always need these tablets."

As I left his office, I made a decision I would never look back on.

I wasn’t depressed. Yes, I struggled with low self-worth, low self-esteem, and confidence. I’d experienced trauma—like my mum attempting to take her own life when I was just a child. I’d gone through mental and emotional abuse, lived with many fears, limiting beliefs, and so much more.

But I chose to overcome all of that. I didn’t know how I would change my life, but I committed to doing it, no matter what. And because of that commitment, my life has transformed beyond words.

Today, I live a happy, fulfilled, and purposeful life. I do what I love each day, I grow and evolve every day, and I live in harmony with my true self.

I committed to doing WHATEVER it takes, no matter what! So, what will it take for you to truly commit to your goals and dreams?

Are You Interested or Are You Committed?

The life you desire is within your reach, right here, right now. It’s time to step up, level up, and go after your heart’s desires instead of standing on the edge of your potential.

Is this an easy journey? I won’t mislead you—it’s not. It involves discomfort, doubt, stress, and moments of feeling overwhelmed. But think about this: what’s worse? Standing on the edge of your potential and spending the rest of your life saying, "I should have, could have, might have," or stepping into the life you truly desire and deserve?

The choice is yours right now.

Are you merely interested, or are you truly committed to doing whatever it takes, no matter what?

Remember, even from the darkest moments, you have the power to create your own light.

Choose. Commit. Elevate.
