Why your Personal Inner Commitment matters?

What are you committed to be the Best in the World? Making this Personal Inner Commitment shifts everything. This is different from your goals, which are usually out there for love, approval and appreciation from others. Your personal inner commitment is for your own self, what you stand for; irrespective of other people or circumstances. It is how you do anything and everything. It ultimately is who you are, how you live, how you act, how you dialogue with others, the space you create.

My personal inner commitment of being the best coach in the world is my inner light that guides me forward to make the choices that are in alignment with that commitment - waking up at 4:00 am for yoga and meditation, weekly fresh fruit days, bi-annual fresh fruit weeks, drinking water and fresh juices over other beverages, cutting down sugar from my diet, walking my kids to school instead of driving them in the car, investing heavily in my professional and personal training & development, practising golf consistently, reading and writing daily, looking in the mirror when eyes don't shine around me, holding myself to account when people don't experience my love & reverence for them, practising childlike trust & faith in the Universe by just living in the moment. It doesn't matter whether I end up becoming the best coach or not, what matters the most is that it is who I am committed to be and choose to play the game of life from there. Playing like this has me experience fun, fulfilment and freedom. It gives me access to have it all. 

It doesn't mean I don't have dreams and intentions. Yes, for sure, though I don't have goals for they suck away energy by creating a space of scarcity because by the very definition, goals mean that I don't have that right now. I find dreams and intentions powerfully inspirational and draw out a lot more effective action from me. It is a place to come from, not a place to go to. I have a dream to coach CEOs around the world to lead humanity to the next level of its evolution by transforming their organizations from good to great through a new model of leadership which is 'love' centered and not 'fear' based. I have an intention to powerfully serve 28 clients in the next so many months; though when I am with a client, that is the only client I have. I think, feel, act in this moment to realize that dream and to fulfil that intention by being in action in the present moment. If you step back, you will realize goals are externally thrust upon while dreams and intentions are internally inspired. That is why there is joyful effortlessness about the latter and lot of stress & struggle in the former. Goals only leverage our intellectual / mental and the physical bodies. Dreams and intentions leverage all the four bodies of our Being - intellectual / mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. No points for guessing where you will find greater performance, productivity, creativity and innovation. 

Your personal inner commitment gives you the path to fulfil on your purpose of life. How do you find the purpose of your life? You begin by figuring what you want for yourself. What you want for yourself is your Quest this lifetime. The only way to get what you want is by giving it to others, which then is the purpose of your life. What I most want is to realize my greatest dreams in deepest communion with my highest self and have it all - fulfilling successful business, loving harmonious relationships, happy responsible kids and lots of nourishing me-time while being at the source of transformation in the world. Therefore, my purpose of life is to support others to realize their greatest dreams in deepest communion with their highest self and have it all. My personal inner commitment to be the best coach in the world is the journey I commit to undertake to fulfil on my purpose this lifetime and take along with me my Values (love, gratitude, reverence, integrity, mastery) as my companions on this road to my own self. 

Questions for you to be in the inquiry of - 
1. What is your Quest this lifetime? 
2. What is your Purpose this lifetime?
3. What is your Personal Inner Commitment? 
4. What are your Values?
5. What action will you take in the next three minutes to make all of this come alive for you?

Wishing you the joyous mastery of your craft and your own self. Both actually are the two sides of the same coin. You cannot get one without the other.

Love,
Jyoti.
