Committed to Stuck

Commitment: The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity

I am fully 100% committed.  I can’t get any more committed than I already am…and the evidence of my commitment…?  The results of what I’m doing now.  This is the aha! moment for me.  I can’t get more commitment.  I am committed to what I’m already doing.  Not what I want, not what I desire, not what I hope, but what I am doing.  The proof is in the pudding.  Recognition and owning that what I’m doing now is not producing the results I want gives pause for me to define what IT is that I’m committed to.

And here’s the scary realization…I’m committed to being stuck.  The amazing part is that I have the perfect formula for getting stuck, staying stuck and wanting something else.

Here is how you do it:

  1. Don’t set goals.
  2. When you start to think about your goals, find 10 other things to do instead.
  3. Instead of working on your actual goals, spend some time researching them.
  4. Don’t put anything on your calendar.
  5. Fill your time with less enjoyable things.
  6. Change your mind a lot.  If you get started on something, just switch.
  7. Believe that you are not good enough to do the things you want to do.
  8. Believe that it’s not possible to do the things you want.
  9. Believe that you don’t have the time to spend on it.
  10. Write about being stuck.

Now, I think I will go do something completely the opposite, but if you want to be stuck and need some help with it.  I know a guy.
